Niles Reddick’s Post

Happy Friday! Many thanks to the Editors at Cigarette Fire Literary Magazine for picking up my flash fiction piece "Free CD" for publication

Sunrise on Lake Cherokee from Motown (locals refer to Morristown as Motown). I can't imagine this view getting old.

Nice to have my flash piece "Snallygaster" in this Holloween anthology, now out and available. This is the 29th book I've been in, not counting my 7 books.

Loved doing this interview for Briar Haus with Becky Parker. Hope you enjoy it: https://lnkd.in/ePf6MWFQ

Here's the Richland Country Club, where I spoke for the Nashville Assistance League, and where we had lunch with Grammy Award Country music legend Donna Fargo who blurbed my novella Forgiven. I just learned the NAL raised $115,000k to help children in poverty. What a wonderful feeling that I played a role in helping so many kids.

Enjoy my story “My Imagination” out now in Literally Stories with an all star cast of international editors and writers. https://lnkd.in/egDNNm92

Hello Monday!!! Many thanks for a RARE double acceptance on the same day! Appreciation to Wicked Shadow Press (a book collection) and Mocking Owl Roost (lit. magazine out of Illinois) for giving a home to my Halloween cryptid story "Snallygaster."

What a trip to Franklin/Nashville. Michelle and I had a great dinner with and spent the night with Bobby and Sheila Arnold and today I did a book talk for the Nashville Assistance League, probably 200 or so folks. I had a blast and was so happy Donna Fargo and her assistant Brenda Madden joined us for lunch. An added bonus was meeting Becky Brown, wife of the late and great singer Jim Ed Brown! More pics and info to come!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! When Michelle and I got back from Nashville, I learned "Come for Me" a piece published in Litro in the U.K. and included in my newest collection Who's Going to Pray for Me Now? was nominated for the Pushcart Prize, my 6th nomination and the highest prize for a story. I love this piece based on visits to my Granny Reddick's house on Sundays. Sure do miss her and those who have moved on from this world, but I've got the memories about which to write.

Many thanks to Allison on the JCP blog and to Draco for the interview on the JCP podcast. Hope you enjoy both. https://lnkd.in/ec5wk4Uh
