KN Magazine: Short Stories
Two More Pieces of Pie
Caught between her talent and her roots, Jolene straddles the dusty rhythms of a small-town life and the possibility of something bigger. As music, memory, and ambition collide in the hills of California, she makes a choice that echoes far beyond the final notes of a bluegrass solo.
Peacock PI
When slacker-turned-secret-shopper Rich lands a job evaluating local businesses for a shady car dealer, he never expects to fall for a Praise Team singer with a grudge—and a hidden agenda. A comic noir set in small-town America, Peacock PI blends romance, deception, and undercover antics into a sharply told tale about ambition, identity, and getting played.
Dear Daughter,
In this haunting and heartfelt short story, a dying mother pens a final letter to her daughter, sharing a vivid dream that blurs the line between memory and premonition. Through dream logic, familial love, and raw vulnerability, Dear Daughter delivers a powerful meditation on illness, legacy, and the quiet urgency of survival.
THE HOLE IN THE ICE
A month after Peggy disappeared, Tom stands over the square hole in the ice—the same hole the cops had searched and abandoned. As black water sloshes and secrets stir beneath the frozen surface, Tom reflects on what he’s done… until something—or someone—rises to meet him.
