There are a lot of naked women in this magazine; but I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression. It would be a mistake to think that the Old Soldier’s only interest in women is their bodies. I admire women and have learned a great many things about life from women and I have learned a great deal about writing fiction from women. Three of my favorite writers are Gertrude Stein, Dorothy Parker and Joyce Carol Oates. As far as the Old Soldier being a sexist, don’t believe the hype.

Well, it’s around 5:00 PM, four hours before karaoke at Del’s; but I wanted to publish one last post for the day. (I still have to take a nap, do a few more breathing, stretching and vocal exercises and then shower and shave my face and head. I’m not just another karaoke singer. The Old Soldier is a performance artist in the truest sense of the term.)
I just want to state that my goal as publisher of this magazine is to make it a place of community for readers and writers who appreciate flash fiction.

Those are all of the men and women that I can remember off the top of my head.
Jaclyn Susan!
How could I forget Jaclyn Susan?

Well, my image app is still not working and I don’t want you to get tired of the Woman As Art series so I went in my pictures on the computer and decided to use an image of my ebook. It contains the work that won me a K. LeRoy Irvis Fellowship in 2003 that paid for my MFA at the University of Pittsburgh.
You can download the ebook. It cost $6.00. Just click on this link: ebook
