My short story, "Caught by the Tide," is about a teenager whose boat gets stuck on a mud bank when the tide goes out just before dark. The story relates how he spends the night sleeping on his boat and dreaming about a girl in his homeroom class until the rising tide awakens him. The story has just been published in the online magazine TOTAL FICTION. This is the third one of my stories they've picked. I hope my streak continues.

That's awesome, congratulations! Do you also have any book that I can get on Amazon? I need some new books or stories to read as I am almost done with the book I am currently reading.

If visit the website shown on my profile page, you'll find links to most of my books there. They are all available on Amazon. May I suggest you start with The Boy from Buzby Beach

@DWDavis Congrats on your story being published. Is this another one from your creative writing class?

It's not from the class, exactly, but it's one where I incorporated the lessons from the class in rewriting a story I'd had on the back burner for a while.
