GHOST STORIES: “Ultramarine Literary Review” – Online Literary Magazine

Posted on February 18, 2025

Today’s acceptance is non-fiction, perfect for paranormal enthusiasts. What if I told you a Polish veteran once informed me that the forests of Poland are haunted? Strange things happen when you least expect them… Ancient curses, a man who is part owl, children and soldiers gone missing during World War II, supernatural castles in the woods, and genuine gravemarker tours. For this piece, I researched the spectral. It’s a regional article on the lore of one of Poland’s most notorious and spooky forests bordering Germany. Read my article: “The Haunting of Notecka Forest.” It’s based on valid research and a veteran’s true accounts. You can read it now in the new Chilean-based online literary journal, Ultramarine Literary Review. They also publish fiction, poetry, book reviews, and video game reviews in English and Spanish. Edited by Catalina Bonati. I will provide all necessary links below.

DASH Literary Journal #16 – California State University (Fullerton – Futurist Fiction)

Posted on May 18, 2023

I’ve currently got a work of futurist fiction (spec-fic with a steampunk aesthetic tossed in for good measure), appearing in the current edition of DASH Literary Journal. No. #16, 2023. This is the official literary magazine of California State University. Out of Fullerton’s Comparative English Studies Department for Language and Linguistics. I actually studied linguistics back in the 1990s but ended up graduating in journalism and the science of publishing. I used to submit to a handful of literary magazines when I was first starting out in the fiction field. DASH No. #16 features poetry AND fiction, and the short stories in Volume #16 come from the likes of: J.M. Williams, Daniel Webre, Robert S. Gordon, Myself, Mark Silcox, Jared Livingston, James Fowler, and there is a TON of non-fiction. It’s very well put together. I will say that. Links, pics below with website info.
