Hi everyone, I have a new flash fiction piece, Lemon Poppy Seed Cake, up at Dogzplot thanks to guest editor Jesse Eagle. Thanks Jesse!
This new work pushes on some boundaries for me, and it was good to feel “out there” with a piece, which had something to say (although you, dear reader, will be the judge of that.)
All love traffic can go to the following link, please:

Please DO check out the rest of the issue too, because my friend Word Riot fiction editor, Kevin O’Cuinn has a story in it. This is a wonderful coincidence because last year Kev and I both had stories appear in the December 2011 issue. (I consider Kevin to be a personal good luck charm!)
Enjoy!

Dear Carol,
Lemony goodness.
Heading to the pastry aisle now. Well done.
Aloha,
Doug
Haha, thanks so much Doug! This one was certainly a bit different for me… thanks for embracing it.
Woo-hoo!
LOL…
’50 shades’ of Lemon? Nice going. Very depressing, and grungy.
Yes, it’s a bleak view of what young latch key kids may have to deal with when their parents are not around….
There is anger in the way the story was composed.
I’m not sure what you mean by that…but the author (that’d be me) wasn’t angry while writing the story, nor is the narrator angry. The circumstances of where the girl finds herself isn’t good though, that’s for sure…
