Story up in Dime Show Review

I'm very pleased to have my story "Angry Money" published in Dime Show Review.  The journal also published my story "Two Turtledoves" a couple of years ago, and I was very happy to work with them again.

This story is another, like "After Waking," that I started, abandoned, and then finished later.  I wrote an opening about a couple in a bar stealing a jacket, then I stopped. After a year or two, I found the opening and went back to the story, figuring out why they had no brakes on this particular evening. 

With my writing, I'm a pack rat, keeping the bits of stories and sometimes fashioning them into completed works years later. I don't know if other writers work this way, but I suspect they do. Henry James said "A writer is someone on whom nothing is lost." That's a high bar to set for observing the world. I fail often. And yet, by never throwing anything away, I superstitiously think I'll lose fewer of the observations I've made. And occasionally, I get a completed story out of it.
