Short Fiction from Greg

Resharing one of last year’s Halloween stories substack.com/@shortfictio...

Hello! Apologies for the lack of output lately, but I've been making a lot of big life changes recently! Good news: I am working on a new story that should be ready in a few weeks. I hope you'll check it out!

I've spent about three hours today trying to figure out the best way to describe a door in a motel lobby.

It's time for our annual and very localized guerrilla marketing campaign. Signed copies of Clarkesworld Magazine are now in the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk's little free library.

NEW STORY: This story is set in the earliest days of what would become Nashville in a wilderness that would become Tennessee. It's a fictional story about the first person sentenced to die there and about all of the death and other weird things that happened there. open.substack.com/pub/shortfic...

Someone left a very nice comment on my story 🥹

I'm closing in on 60,000 words for what will be the rough draft of my first manuscript for a novel. I don't have any expectations that this will go anywhere (I don't have an agent, etc.), but it's still really exciting to make this much progress. It's a big accomplishment for me!

Everyone I know IRL who has read my latest story has commented on how much research I must have done to prepare. And it's true, I did a ton of reading. It's nice to have people finally understand what the hell I've been doing with my free time!

I'm giving up my dream of writing weird short stories to write a bullshit novel called 'What Became of Our Oats' [pretend I posted this yesterday. Happy April!]

Over 25,000 words!

Alright, I'm officially over 15,000 words into this new project so I think I can say it's looking more like "Long Fiction From Greg"

Hello! The new story is taking a little longer than expected because I totally changed the format. It should be ready soon. In the meantime, why don't you check out this story from a few years back? open.substack.com/pub/shortfic...

Thank you to everyone for a great December! You have no idea how much I appreciate it.

It's always fun to see where the research for a story will take me.

The Silver Brooch is a Christmas ghost story about going home for the holidays. Two very different cousins spend a weekend searching the old family farmhouse for a lost heirloom. One of them has a bizarre plan for contacting their great-grandmother. shortfictionfromgreg.substack.com/p/the-silver...
