Our author Sam Gridley's latest publication, like many of his previous ones, challenges stereotypes. In "The Upper Mahoney at Dawn," a short story in Turk's Head Review, he presents a Peeping Tom as a sympathetic character.

Really? Can we empathize with this protagonist? Read the story to find out how you react.

Another of Sam's stories, "A Little Girl's Mouth," a piece of flash fiction, appears in the fall issue of Tethered by Letters, not yet available to read online but for sale in hard copy.

Meanwhile, our supertalented editorial board continues to amaze us. In the new issue of Cleaver Magazine, David Hallock Sanders has published another excerpt from his extraordinary novel-in-progress, Busara Road, about a Quaker boy growing up in Kenya. This latest chapter, titled "If You Do Not Know," reveals the meaning of "Busara." For David's posts about the novel, its themes, challenges, and progress, see his Busara blog.
