The April 2012 issue of Bards and Sages Quarterly has been released, and with it my story “Street Lamps and Carbaryl”. You can check out a sample below:

Megan’s athletic physique cut through the night, exposed under the street lamps and concealed again. She checked her iPod which indicated a low battery. She meant to order a new one, but she needed Rob to install it. She also needed Rob to return her calls. Megan thought he might be blowing her off for other girls. College life was beyond promiscuous. Trying to keep a legit relationship in that atmosphere was like putting your recycling out on a windy day. If Rob didn’t call, there were backups—of that she was certain. Megan kept these boys at her periphery. After all, a good spider doesn’t disturb its web by grasping for things beyond reach. Let the trap be a trap, she thought, grinning.
