Hello, reading friends. I have a new story out in Epiphany, Issue 36. It's called "Nereid," and they nominated it for the O. Henry Prize. That stuff never happens to me! Very excited.

S̶e̶a̶n̶ It is a very good story. Stunningly good! Likely a shoe-in for the prize.


message 12: by Nathanimal (new)

Nathanimal That is high praise! Thank you, S̶e̶a̶n̶. Let's hope! It usually goes to much bigger fish. Mainly, it was such a boost to have the editors at Epiphany put such support behind it.

S̶e̶a̶n̶ If you win, I think you should give a Bernhard-esque 'acceptance' speech.


message 14: by Nathanimal (new)

Nathanimal Hahaha. It'd be a wasted opportunity if I didn't.

Bill Hsu Wow! Congratulations Nate! Will check out ASAP. (I note that there's a story in the same issue called "House Bunnies".) I assume "Kate Durbin" is not your pseudonym?

Nathanimal Haha. Unfortunately she beat me to it.

Thanks, Bill!
