My new novel has a cover. And it looks great. I’ll be sharing it soon.
I don't want to make @joshaboldt.bsky.social self-conscious, but I was sending a link to a @brownhoundpress.bsky.social story and scrolled down this page and just, wow, every one is a banger--I have never seen a mag develop a personality so quickly. Catch up: www.brownhoundpress.com/stories

My little story "Bloom" is up over at @brownhoundpress.bsky.social Really enjoyed writing this one and working with Brown Hound Press was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!
Brown Hound Press@brownhoundpress.bsky.social · 3mo agoStory of the Week - No spoilers, but I bet you will be fooled by the way @shellyjones.bsky.social opens their story “Bloom.” An innocent birdwatching expedition, eh? I don’t think so. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/shel...

I’m a sucker for a con artist story. Even more so if it’s set in the American South. “Kenforth’s Baptism” by @chelyen.bsky.social is a tale of grift and manipulation about two brothers who find weakness in their marks and exploit it. Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/chel...
Chelyen Davis - Kenforth's Baptism — Brown Hound Press
My brother Kenforth's second baptism occurred on a sunny spring morning when the air was warm but the creek still cold, and it wouldn't have happened at all if he had just trusted me. “There is no mon...

Ooh, I loved this story. Fictional con artists are my catnip.

Dean Crow - Gyotaku — Brown Hound Press
My father papered the walls of his studio in crisp white washi, covered in schools of Gyotaku: ink prints of fish he’d caught throughout his career. I probe the paper like I’m noodling for a bite until I fumble on the light switch. The LEDs mimic natural light–my father would accept no less. He dema

Story Track: The Kill for Love album by Chromatics is one of my top records of the past twenty years. The track “These Streets Will Never Look the Same” is a fitting match for @lucidillusions.in’s story with its eerie synth and lyrics. -Josh Boldt, Editor
Story of the Week: Suvajeet Duttagupta (@lucidillusions.in) explores the concept of digital addiction in his story “The Digital Familiar” wherein a teenage girl becomes psychologically dependent on an AI(?)-powered phone app. - Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/suva...

Sylvie’s world existed in muted blues and greys, mirroring the screen she clutched like a lifeline. She was fourteen, lonely and keenly aware of the space around her that no one chose to fill. Her bed...

Story of the Week: I loved the subtle foreshadowing in Deb Blenkhorn's piece, hints that the story may not be as innocent as it seems. The final, devastating reveal demands a rereading of the girls’ experiences with newly-opened eyes. Josh Boldt, Editor www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/deb-...
Merceline Ochieng’s story is inspired by the murder of Agnes Tirop and of many other women in her country of Kenya. Merceline is a Fulbright Scholar currently living and teaching in Kentucky. www.brownhoundpress.com/stories/merc...
