I would like to announce the opening of my new blog, "David's Short Stories." It actually opened up about two weeks ago. However, the first "short story" was not published until yesterday. The first part of "Grandpa and Fireflies" is now available for reading. I plan on publishing the second part next week sometime. I started the new blog because I keep getting asked for examples of my "other work" from publishers and literary agents. As most of you may know, I am still attempting to get my online novel, "Diary: Alone on Earth," published since this past June.

This first story deals with a young boy growing up in rural southern Mississippi. He is talking about his grandpa, his experiences with him and some of the knowledge imparted to this young boy. If you have any suggestions, constructive criticism or any type of comment, please leave them at my new blog, David's Short Stories.
