Sunday Links

Short story writer, Nigel Bird, has started a series of interviews on his blog, Sea Minor, called Dancing with Myself. Each "interviewee" asks and answers 10 questions they wish they were asked. There are two interviews up already one with Jon Jordan, editor of Crimespree, and the editor of Crimefactory, Keith Rawson. Nigel also has a list of upcoming interviews so be sure to check back on a regular basis. http://nigelpbird.blogspot.com/

Keith Rawson has a new Short Thoughts on Short Fiction column up at Spinetinger. This time out he's talking about anthologies. http://www.spinetinglermag.com/2010/08/28/short-thoughts-on-short-fiction-my-summer-anthologies/

Southern Grit has closed to submissions until September 15 for their December issue. The stories for the first issue have been selected and the zine will launch sometime in September. http://www.southerngrit.org/home for a list of the authors who will appear in the first issue.

Over at Fried Chicken and Coffee, editor, Rusty Barnes, takes a look at the poetry of James Dickey. Yeah, that James Dickey, the guy who wrote Deliverance was a poet. Go see for yourself. http://www.friedchickenandcoffee.com/2010/08/25/remembering-deliverance/

And a short story for your Sunday reading pleasure. "Gunpoint" by Fred Blosser http://www.beattoapulp.com/stor/2010/0829_fb_Gunpoint.cfm You've gotta love mercenaries, no matter what era they lived in. And a story steeped in legend, well, it just doesn't get any better than that.
