Big Muddy Makedonija

The story "Makedonija" was just published in the spring 2007 issue of Big Muddy, a journal from the Southeast Missouri State University Press.

I got no father, I got no mother,
Father to scorn me,
Mother to mourn me,
My father – the mountain.
My mother – the shotgun.
Lay me, my Voivode,
Down in the black earth.
I want, my Voivode,
To die for Freedom.
For Freedom, my Voivode,
For Makedonija.

Thank you for the kind words. Sadly, there isn't much in this blog. I'd much rather try to work on a story than on a blog entry if I have the extra time. Hopefully there will be more to write about in the future, now that I might be getting closer to a finished manuscript for a story collection. Best wishes...
