‘The Origin of Species’ Published

Posted on Jul 4, 2012

‘The Origin of Species’, my latest flash story is now available in this month’s issue of AntipodeanSF (July, 2012 – Issue 169).

I couldn’t be more pleased.

Even if I do say so myself, I really like this story and I’m quite proud of it. Happily, I see it currently has a 4.5 star rating so someone else must agree with me!

The inspiration for this story came a few years ago from this news article about some kids in Panama who came across, and sadly killed, some kind of mutant beast, rumored to be a shaved sloth.  The story stuck with me for a while and formed the basis for what became this little bit of cryptozoological flash fiction.

I hope you like it!

Stay tuned for an announcement of when you can listen to the audio version on the next AntipodeanSF podcast.
