The Eunoia Review has published my short story, The Nine Lives of Mr. Snuggles, today, which means that it’s now available for all of you to read. This is a double good thing in that the Eunoia Review is based out of Singapore, marking a first for my writing career, and because this is by far the longest single story I’ve ever had published. Most short stories I get published tend to be in the 3,000 or less word range, which is a fairly common length for short stories. This story comes in at a whopping 13,000 words, which actually makes it more of a novella than a short story, or a novelette if you really want to get technical about it, but good god who wants to get into that.
The Nine Lives of Mr. Snuggles was rejected five times prior to being accepted for publication, though part of that is the fact that few literary reviews accept stories this long. Thank you to everyone for the years of support. I hope you enjoy it.
