About me:
To make this a little more casual...
I am Nick Ostdick. I write stories. I read stories. I publish stories over at RAGAD, a literary broadside and online magazine. I have a novel out called Sunbeams and Cigarettes (2005); I have written two more, but I think they shall stay hidden away. My short fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Night Train, Pindeldyboz, Our Stories, Annalemma, Slow Trains, and elsewhere, and my story 'The Sleepings Shags,' was a 2007 StorySouth Notable Story.I have a blog called In The Nick Of Time. Thanks for taking a look.
