God...I've become that writer who only blogs when he has something to promote. It would be far too easy to blame it on our delayed flight last night and 2 AM bedtime, but I digress. I'll have a bit about our trip to post later, but in the meantime you can read some stories, if you're so inclined.
In the first issue of Basement Stories, you can read "Dancing Lessons", a reprint from last year's Triangulation: Dark Glass. This story only saw the light of day in print, so enjoy it while it's free, eh?
And from the vault of something new and weird, I bring you "Climbing" from issue #7 of the recently resurrected Arkham Tales. It's one of my favorite pieces. (You'll have to shell out $1.99 for the download, but Arkham Tales is always worth it.)
I'll write something profound once I'm more lucid. Okay...I'll try to write something profound.
"Precious Metal" (from Albedo One #38) has a brief but favorable mention at Stepehn Hunt's SF Crowsnest.
Reviewer Gareth D. Jones uses the words touching, poignant, and valuable, but not necessarily in that order.

My contributor copy of Blade Red's Dark Pages (volume 1) arrived on Friday, and it's pretty. The stories are pretty (in a dark sort of way, of course), the cover is pretty, and I'm pretty stoked to be part of the project. Thanks to editor Brenton Tomlinson for finding my short-short "Cargo" worthy of this line up:
"The Stain of the Psychopomp King" by Lucien E G Spelman
"Heart Of Ice" by Martin Livings
"Neptune’s Garden" by Lisa A Koosis
"Dust" by Naomi Bell
"To Die For" by S D Matley
"The Franchise" by Joe L Murr
"Clip Notes" by Marty Young
"Blood on Green" by Victoria Anisman-Reiner
"Cargo" by Aaron Polson
"Nepenthe" by Felicity Dowker
"Yellow Water Pike" by Derek Rutherford
"Surveying The Land" by B D Wilson

I have other news bits I'm bursting to share...later this week. Promise.

Excellent covers on both of those. I too fell off the blogging wagon of late. It'll happen when it happens :)
I hope the vacation was fun. I look forward to hearing your adventures. Love the woodcut in the first pic, btw.
Two stories - well done! Heading over to read :)
If I only knew the meaning of "profound", maybe my blog could be deemed worth reading...on good days anyways.
I hope you had a fun trip!
Congratulations!
"Don't worry about blogging," said the girl who just stepped back up to her blog after nine months.
Dancing Lessons is a fine, fine story, Aaron. Killer of an opening line too – loved it.
Too true, Mary.
Jamie - Too much fun. We're still hung-over (in a figurative sense, of course).
I hope you enjoy, Danielle.
Andrea - Ha! (and we did)
Bobbie - Welcome back, of course! I don't "worry" about it, per se. I just kind of miss it.
Thanks, L.R.
