Submissions to The Writer's Digest Annual Contest

Unfortunately neither of the stories I submitted were chosen for the Writer's Digest Annual Fiction competition. However, the good news is that now I can feature samples of both stories here on my blog. I won't be posting the stories in their entirety, but please leave comments and let me know if they peak your interest, since I'm considering publishing a book of short stories. Honesty, and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
