New stuff

It's been a busy weekend or at least some work I have done recently has paid off. I am a podcast! A story of mine, Past Due, is being podcast as episode #39 on the amazing crimewav.com
An off beat story of mine Two Left is up now at Darkest Before the Dawn and my super short contribution to Six Sentences is also up.
For links and more go to my blog at ericbeetner.blogspot.com

My story 'Past Due' came in second in the Twist of Noir story contest. It was close and came down to a coin flip. Oh well. All the stories are great so check them out.
