Accepted by The Chaffey Review
My flash fiction piece, "Desperado," was accepted for The Chaffey Review's summer edition.
Hmm, having poems just published in Poetry Quarterly, and now a short in The Chaffey Review, methinks I'm on a roll.
All credits accepted and appreciated, sure does help the resume.

However, they did want a slight edit.
