Excerpt

Peter lunged for the girl just as the Cadillac's bumper bore down on her trike. He curled around her and heard the squeal of brakes, but it was too late. The car slammed into his spine. He flipped onto the Cadillac's hood, bounced over the windshield and smacked onto the street. His bones rattled in his skin like a bag full of marbles. His arms gave way and the little girl rolled from his grasp.

Bio

Turned onto reading at an early age--the product of bible stories given as punishment for stealing candy from a drug store--Brent Bowen devours books of all genres. And though Samson and Delilah is still one of his favorites, he would prefer to blend mysticism with archeologist canines and plasma armor.

Since then, Brent's first paid, published story was a tweet (per word it's a pretty good gig), and he's studied with many speculative fiction luminaries at the 2009 Viable Paradise XIII writer's workshop. He'd like attend the real Clarion, but that won't happen until he gets a sabbatical from his day job. Brent lives in a Kansas City suburb with his wife, two children, mutt Monty and pretty boy golden retriever Rufus. Learn more about Brent and his work at www.splitlegend.com/news.

Write-a-Thon Goals

I not only need to return to my daily writing habit, but I also need to develop a submission habit. So, this is my Clarion goal: If I do not write for at least one hour each day or I do not submit something each week for publication, I will donate $10 for each failed deliverable.
