Service Sacrifice appears in Volume 15 of As You Were: The Military Review:

Tom stepped into the kitchen. The sun rose beyond a set of half-open blinds, harp strings of morning light on the linoleum floor. He fixed himself a coffee and raised the blinds, blinking. Fog on the window wreathed a stained-glass firetruck Kylie had made in preschool. His first deployment, when she was three, she had cried when he came home and tried to hug her.

As You Were: The Military Review features top-notch fiction, non-fiction, poetry and art from veterans, active duty and family members. Fiction includes Buick, by David Lanvert, Latrine Queen, by Nicholas Cormier III, Signature Wound by Jeffrey Loeb and Charlie’s Window by Melody Edwards.

Navy lifestyle, Army lifestyle, the military is a lifestyle, and what happens to our armed forces doesn’t just affect service members; it affects families as well. It affects us all and I encourage you to check out the great writing linked above. It’s a small sample of the military lifestyle.

New short story, Ghosts, appears in Terracotta Typewriter Issue 9:

“I was married once,” David said. “Guys here, they’ve been married three, four times. Just once for me.”

He stopped eating, lit a cigarette. He shook another free from his pack, handed it to Jarrett and lit it for him.

“Yeah,” David said with some smoke. “I was married once.”

They’d given their final exams yesterday and caught the first bus out of Wuhan. They were in Jingdezhen, a city famous for china, in Jiangxi province. They planned to spend a week seeing Jiangxi before heading south.

It’s from a novel I’m working on. Read the rest here.
