Funny Pearls to Publish "A Farewell to Olaf"

Funny Pearls, an "online journal dedicated to humour by women," has accepted my short, personal humor piece "A Farewell to Olaf" for publications.  Date to be determined.  The story details the Shakespearean arguments I resort to in an attempt to convince my niece to re-cycle her Halloween pumpkin.

Bewildering Stories has accepted my fractured fairy tale "Jack Spriggins, Villian" for publication.  Date of publication has yet to be determined.

What happens over the years when society determines that its heroes have to be moral, upstanding, and pure? Commonly told fairy tales switch the roles of hero and villain.  In this  fantasy story, Mrs. Blunderbore finally tells the real history of Jack Spriggins and his persecution of the Geons or Geants, who now have protected minority status in the European Union.
