Every Day Fiction to publish "There's Construction on Your Road to Doom"

Every Day Fiction has accepted my story, "There's Construction on Your Road to Doom."

Not a bad way to close out 2012.

They told me it should appear in the next couple of months, and I'll provide a direct link when it goes live.

Happy New Year!

Tangent Online reviews "The Flittiest Catch." (another good one)

Here's a link to the full review of the issue.

Reviewer, Michelle Ristuccia, writes:

"The Flittiest Catch" by Robert Lowell Russell begins with an interview with a captain on a very unusual fishing boat. As he is explaining the dangers of the job, the interview is interrupted by excitement on the deck. The title and setup are a parody of reality TV shows like “The Deadliest Catch.” This flash piece is a lot of fun and almost everything about it is a spoiler due to its length. Let's just say that the illustration shows an old guy with a long beard suspended from a balloon under the fishing blimp. And just in case you were trying to take it seriously, the story even ends on a pun.

My first Lois Tilton review and it doesn't suck!

Lois Tilton of Locus Online has reviewed the IGMS December '12 issue. 

For my story, she wrote:

“The Flittiest Catch” by Robert Lowell Russell

Fishing for fairy dust and netting a bunch of jokes.

For an 1100 word story, those ten words sound pretty good to me.

"The Flittiest Catch" is up at IGMS! The artwork is awesome!

My story, "The Flittiest Catch," is now live at Orson Scott Card's InterGalactic Medicine Show.

The issue includes a bunch of other great stories, too, including a pair from Nebula/Hugo/some other award I'm forgetting winner, Ken Liu.

It only costs $15 a year to subscribe, and you get access to back issues. And as a bonus, my story is also featured in audio.

Very excited about this!

Check out M.Wayne Miller's artwork for the piece. It's amazing!
