Ugly Babies

2013

There’s nothing quite like the birth of a child. Children are born in our likenesses... we treasure their beauty, their innocence, and marvel as they take their first breaths outside of their mother’s womb. In a perfect world, babies are miracles. But as we know, the world is not always perfect. JWK Fiction brings you a collection of poetry, flash fiction and short stories dealing with beginnings that may not be as rosy as everyone around us often seems to think newborns are. Editor Sydney Leigh has delivered sterling work in collecting and organizing this wonderful anthology.

I am the publisher and editor of the annual anthologies Indiana Horror, Indiana Science Fiction and Indiana Crime. During 2013 I expanded my business, jwkfiction.com, to include many other works, ranging from poetry anthologies to regular anthologies by multiple authors, to single author anthologies and complete novels. My own fiction has been published in various magazines and anthologies and when not busy running JWKfiction, I try to expand on that. I have a Master's in English from Indiana University at Indianapolis, where I also happen to live.
