9th Ward

Friday, June 20th, 2008

I just received word that my short story “9th Ward” has been accepted by The Midnight Diner anthology and will see print this October in a spiffy trade paperback.  The post-Katrina tale follows a hurricane victim trying to survive a supernatural collision of past and future New Orleans.
