I just got notification that my short story "The Bride Price" has been accepted for publication. I’m especially pleased with this, since the prompt for the story came from my good friend RM Solberg and my local writers’ group had a good chuckle over it as well.
I think that this acceptance is particularly instructive for [...]

A review is in

"The Fix", a website that reviews short fiction, has a review of Issue #33 of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. Of "A Most Heinous Man", the reviewer says this:
[The illustration by Lewis Morley] appropriately meshes with the humorously pulpy monster tale by Richard S. Crawford. A bit longer than flash, this fun bit of fiction makes [...]

Buy it! Buy it now!

Finally!  The horror collection Don’t Turn the Lights On (formerly Room 636), which contains a reprint of my short story "Who Remembers Molly" (one of my personal favorites) is now available for purchase.  You can buy it here, from the Stonegarden Press website.  Mind you, I haven’t read any of the other stories in this [...]

Finally! Whoo hoo!

I just received an email this morning informing me that my short story, "A Most Heinous Man", has found a paying home with Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine!  This is one of my favorites stories, and I am, of course, very excited.  If all goes according to plan, it should be published in the December 2007 [...]

“Who Remembers Molly” Published

My short story, “Who Remembers Molly”, has just been published in the January 2006 issue of The Harrow (http://www.theharrow.com).  Please take a look!

The First One

At first, I thought it was spam. The subject line read, “E-Mail Acceptance Letter”, after all, which sounded suspiciously like one of those “Come help me get this one million dollars that the Nigerian government owes me” scams, or something like that. I’ve been getting way too much spam.

Then I thought that perhaps it [...]
