In the Beginning
I admit that when Pen Pricks began, Elizabeth and I felt a bit obligated to publish every submission we received. We had to learn to toughen our editor's hides as we sought to present the finest of the 55 word fiction that entered Pen Pricks' submission email inbox. Rejection of some submissions became inevitable.

I was pleased to have my 55 words accepted by Pen Pricks, especially after having read previous submissions by clearly talented authors able in a few words – 55 to be exact – to convey theme, plot, setting, character, POV, and conflict. I am in awe and delighted to now be among that anointed cast of characters.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Richard! C. M. and I are delighted to have you as one of Pen Pricks' talented authors also.
