first prize in geist’s short long distance fiction contest

Happy 2009, folks. This has to be my favorite way to ring in the new year: my short short story The Other James Buchanan won a first prize in Geist Magazine’s first annual short long-distance fiction contest. It will also be in print in the next issue of Geist. It’s my first publication, so I’m psyched.

Enjoy!

    Awesome. Really good short story. Every word is meaningful. Congratulations. While I’m toiling on my book I forget to write anything else. I should probably get on the stick. It doesn’t look good to have you getting things published without me.

    Thanks, J.

    On you writing some short fiction–the world needs more sex, drugs and rock and roll in the future.

    hi Chris, great story & congratulations on winning the prize. A far cry from the windowless room @ Columbus Circle. I’d like to read more of your work. Where?

    Katie! Nowhere yet, I’m afraid, but I’m hoping that will change in 2010. Congrats on your recent “work”–he’s very cute!
