By Guy Biederman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing backwards, I row toward home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note from Marlene:<\/strong>  Your turn. Write a story in six words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guy Biederman<\/a><\/strong> teaches short fiction and is the author of five collections of short work, including Nova Nights (Nomadic Press,), Edible Grace (KYSO Flash Press), and Soundings and Fathoms, stories (Finishing Line Press). \u00a0His work has appeared in many journals including Carve, Flashback Fiction, MacQueen\u2019s Quinterly, Bull, great weather for Media, Riddled with Arrows, The Disappointed Housewife, and Exposition Review, where he was twice a Flash 405 winner. Guy\u2019s stories, prose, and poems have also won a Publisher\u2019s Choice Award, an Editor\u2019s choice Award, and been nominated for the Best of the Net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in the Chihuahuan Desert near the Mexican border, Guy grew up on a Sting-Ray in Ventura, learned to write in the Peace Corps during a civil war in Guatemala, honed his craft pulling weeds and planting flowers as a gardener in San Francisco, and later received his M.A. from San Francisco State, where his teaching career began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guy has been a creative-writing midwife since 1991. His collection of short work, Translated From The Original: one-inch-punch fiction will be published by Nomadic Press in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can purchase a copy of Nova Nights here<\/a> (and also support a really great independent publisher).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
