Well, there should be more activity by now I would think. On the good news a friend of a friend got published by NeWest press out of Edmonton and they have an open submission policy. They're online.

This is in a collection of short's due to be published. It's one of the pieces I have yet to finish editing. I think there are 72 shorts in the collection and about half of them are still in need of more editing.

I'm more main stream I suppose. I haven't ever tried to write a mystery, as I don't enjoy reading that paticular genre as much as others.
I am a big fan of the Ubuntu OS (Linux) - especially the Kubuntu release as I love K Desktop more than Gnome (preference only, I think they're both great).
I've forwarded this site to some friends who write and are also in the Calgary area. We'll see when and if they turn up.

I'm the first to admit I know little or nothing about poetry, but I have to say I was held totally spellbound when reading this. Very gripping and the emotion is to intense. You have an absolutely amazing way with words. Now I'm looking forward even more to reading your short stories.
Is this poem published, btw? If not, it should be.

Welcome fellow writer, web designer and Linux enthusiast!
Yep, just the three of us right now, but I expect membership will grow in time as I have time to get more ads and notices around. We're off to a pretty good start if I do say so myself. LOL Not bad seeing as how I only started the whole club and everthing maybe a month ago at most.
I'm simply an amateur web designer, but a huge Linux supporter. Fedora is my OS of choice. And I absolutely swear by Open Office. Way better than MS Word, Excel, etc. in my opinion.
Wow! You certainly do have very diverse interests. University, rock climbing, computers, etc. I'm impressed.
I'm looking forward to reading some of your short stories. You mentioned they're all contemporary fiction. By this do you mean mystery, suspense, or more of a mainstream?

Anthem for an Apology
I recall you down
Forty Thieves in petty coats fighting over petty codes as Miss Justice overdoses, casting comatose shadows and hues of an over-used red rose. She d**ns my lust benign and I am held in line by a broken pay phone with no one home to answer my call.
I recall you down only to have found this unconscious town bleeding for needing that thing with meaning after leaving and tainting the lightening striking an overused hanging gale with etchings in charcoal blowing every meaning like so many lost memories in an old age habitat.
I recall you - standing in grey scales, passing fault-finding opposition as half a heart of oxidized rulers - smashed on their own egoistic masochism and sadistic standards of azure lovers at equinox. You dripped finely ground copper stains tersely from blackened nails painted in retribution as you tacitly targeted the treacherous motley king inside me a traitor.
Do you remember me now that I recall you down?
Shall we recall a ghost town with no ball gown, no one around - none - but one Jester to register the age of absolution? Is your face still painted in hatred? Are vipers now dressed as snipers? It's a suspicious postage shortage as lingering letters thus loiter or have you, at long last, d**ned the letterman?
Currently, there is no hurricane. Only a simple sign stands and sings in rusty sibilance outside the Hotel Sorry. It flashes in neon fashions – No Vacancy.
I recall you down through wisps of cirrus cloud and a searing sound as you are torn away from where you keep yourself. Merely mysterious ministrations - this unwonted midnight hound heals like a rusted and folded jack-knife fighting through scrap meals athwart the floorboards once sullied by insincere sincerity since sucked sanitary via the vacuum of introspection.
Are your sorrow songs scrawled in sand? I tender amnesty within this open hand Do you remember me now that I recall you down?

I should also mention that I am fantastic at building and repairing computers. I am also a huge fan of Linux (which I use as my daily desktop) and the Open Office wordprocessor (I write everything in OO).
For fans of fantasy or sci-fi I have a wiki hosting a living novel which can be found at http://broadcastthis.com/wiki - feel free to start writing in the universe of Avatar Stultus.
I love to write and have recently finished compiling a collection of short stories. They are all contemporary fiction written in the first person. I am hoping to get some feedback on a few of them and provide some feedback in turn.
I have 8 years of University (Calgary) and college (MRC). This includes a background in geography, chemistry, philosophy and English.
My wife and I are also avid rock climbers. We live in the Glendale area (Calgary SW).
