My story "Refrain" has won Honorable Mention in Glimmertrain's Fiction Open Contest. I'm very happy, Glimmertrain is one of the top literary mags and competition is fierce. "Refrain" remains unpublished though—I'm working on it. Glimmertrain #AlanBray #Refrain #Glimmertrain

Stephanie Hopkins and IndieBrag have just posted a short piece of mine on the Layered Pages site. It concerns how I think about writing characters in an early nineteenth-century setting. Many thanks, Stephanie. It's always a pleasure and I appreciate it. #BRAGMedallion #LayeredPages #ALANBRAY
