Duotrope—the writer’s conscience—suggests that I have an extraordinarily high rate of acceptances. I think they believe I’m cooking the books by not reporting my rejections. T’ain’t so!
Anyway, I’m happy that “Conehead,” a short humor piece, has been published by Big Pulp. (Students can be merciless with their teachers, but anybody can be their own worst enemy if they presume too much.) So, click on http://bigpulp.com/goldenark_giersbach_cone.html and remember what devils we were as high school students.
By the way, this was rejected once before Big Pulp bought it. Maybe the title should have been two words, as Microsoft Spell Check reminds me. Thanks, Bill Olver, editor and fave publisher.

When Paper Cuts Scissors
When you’ve lost your last dollar, watch out for the stranger who still wants to gamble with you: there’s a sucker punch coming. By counting the woman you left behind, you may also have doubled your losses.
That’s the thought behind “Paper Cut,” just published by Big Pulp. exactly one year after it was accepted. Take a moment and read it at http://bigpulp.com/chill_giersbach_papercut.html. My thanks go to Bill Olver, editor and publisher of some fine noir fiction.
