Cirque Journal Publishes Simple Syrup

Looking to keep yourself entertained, well then look no further than my latest short story, Simple Syrup, just published by Cirque Journal in their newest issue. This is pretty damn exciting considering I was published in Cirque’s last issue too. So it’s one hell of a compliment. I wrote Simple Syrup back in May of 2017 and started sending it out maybe a year later. Sometimes I let stories sit for awhile before editing them and sending them out. I find it helps me be a better editor since I’m no longer on the post-writing high where everything feels like the best written thing ever. It got rejected 19 times before Cirque picked it up in December, and now here it is available to read in April. Writing is a long-term process. I hope you enjoy it.
