“Convoy Home” in WLA Literary Journal

15 October 201317 March 2016

The “War, Literature and the Arts Literary Journal” has accepted what I consider to be my best story, “Convoy Home” for publication. It appears in Volume #25 which just came out. Here’s my discussion and review of the journal:

I think America felt guilty about our illegal war. I know I did, and a big Republican defeated would vindicate us all.

Anyway, I was en route to a belated Halloween party.” (Read more on NH Novella)
