In February I announced that my short story “Nickels and Dimes” had been accepted for publication in Gravel, a literary journal out of Arkansas. Well, the story just recently came out in print, which means you now have a chance to actually read it. You can check it on the website here:

Nickels and Dimes was written in December of 2017. At the time, I was trying to add more humorous stories to my collected writings, something that I’m still doing to this day, though I wanted it to still have a theme worth thinking about. I think overall it works pretty well.
Nickels and Dimes was rejected a total of 24 times before it was finally accepted for publication, though many of the rejections had some good things to say about it.
I hope you enjoy the read. As always, thank you everyone for your continued support. It’s only March, but already this is the third story to get published this year. It’s a hell of a good start.
