I am pleased/happy/proud to announce the publication of one of my short stories in a very prestigious e-zine in the fantasy/sci-fi/horror genre. (Please bear with me because I don't do promotion or P.R. very well.) I'm really excited to have one of my works accepted by Allegory E-zine (formerly known at the online publication of Peridot Books) and to actually get paid for it. "Doctrine" is something I wrote way back in a creative writing class in 1994 and it's gone through several evolutions although the ending has always been the same. I did a minimal amount of research in the first iteration and then a significant amount more for the updated 2006/2009 version. I updated it several years ago and submitted it to a Writer's Digest online contest, but the story wasn't what they were looking for and didn't make the top 100. So I dusted it off again this fall, did more revisions, tried to develop the ancillary characters a bit more and submitted it again. Thankfully, the good people at Allegory liked it and here we are.
The story is available at http://allegoryezine.com/ in the Fall 2009 issue of Allegory which was published today (1/1/2010). So if you get a chance and care, go and take a look and let me know what you think. (Even it's only "You Suck", I still can use the feedback.)
