"Prescott, Presley, Preston" in JMWW
Monday, March 15, 2010 at 01:28PM 
The fine folks at JMWW have kindly included my Cataclysm Baby story "Prescott, Presley, Preston" in their Spring 2010 Special Flash Issue, edited by David Erlewine. My story appears alongside new fiction by Charles Lennox, Jarrid Deaton, Gary Moshimer, Rusty Barnes, Katrina Gray, Timothy Gager, Seth Fried, Tria Andrews, Damian Dressick, Sheldon Lee Compton, Ethel Rohan, S. Craig Renfoe, Jr., Andrew Roe, Kyle Minor, Michael Czyzniejewski, Edward Mullany, Matthew Salesses, Kevin Wilson, Curtis Smith, Tara Laskowski, Molly Gaudry, Erin Fitzgerald, Meg Pokrass, Roxane Gay, Sam Nam, Robert Swartwood, Scott Garson, and Ben Loory.
As a teaser, here's the first paragraph of "Prescott, Presley, Preston":
Know how we once believed our children would surprise us. And also how we were wrong. How there was only the shock of the first prediction coming true, and after that everything else was known. Know how our oldest told us the day and date his first brother would be born, and then together they apprised us of the youngest, disclosing the hour of my wife's water breaking, the length of her labor, the exact moment of the crowning of their brother's head.
JMWW is a fantastic magazine, and David Erlewine did a great job putting together this issue. I've only read a fraction of what's there, but I can't wait to read more. Thanks to David for including me, and to Jen Michalski for everything she did for the issue and for JMWW in general. Enjoy!
