Laura Stamps Poetry

Well, it's time. With my latest novella out from   Alien Buddha Press   and so many literary magazines around the world publishing my flash fiction stories, I really needed to create a separate website for my fiction.  So that's exactly what I did today! If you'd like the latest news about my novels and novellas and short stories, this is the place to go! www.laurastampsfiction.blogspot.com   

What a fabulous surprise! Not only was this story accepted by the awesome literary magazine  The Sparrow's Trombone  a few hours after I submitted it, but it went live less than an hour after that. Wow, right?  This is such a fun magazine! The editor, Jeremy, is a joy to deal with. Such a kind heart!  The magazine is devoted to the surreal and magical realism. I don't write in that genre very often, but I did with this story. And I had great fun doing so.  Enjoy this story. No, it's not what it seems. But that's what makes it such a fun read!  ZINNIAS by Laura Stamps — The Sparrow's Trombone (thesparrowstrombone.com)

These flash fiction stories have been accepted for publication in the following literary journals, magazines, and anthologies: Go Ask Alice  will appear in the October 2021 issue of  The Daily Drunk Zinnias will appear in the October 2021 issue of  The Sparrow's Trombone

Are you ready for one of my humorous stories? My flash fiction story I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO LED ZEPPELIN just went live in The Daily Drunk literary magazine.  Don't you love the illustration the editor used? Once again, it is perfect! Gotta love those old Zep album covers and the Peter Max style of illustration back in the day. So many good memories.  Yes, I'm a Zep fan. Always have been, always will be. Enjoy this story!   I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO LED ZEPPELIN (dailydrunkmag.com)

What a wonderful surprise!! Instead of my micro fiction story VOICES appearing in the fabulous Punk Noir Magazine next week, the editor, Stephen Gold, decided to surprise me and publish it today. Wow! No wonder I adore him so much. And it's n o wonder Stephen is one of my favorite editors, and Punk Noir Magazine is one of my favorite literary magazines. This story is a little different. It's empowering like all my stories, but rather intense, because it’s about a woman in an abusive relationship suffering from chronic PTSD and how a person has to move through that process toward healing. Enjoy! Voices by Laura Stamps – Punk Noir Magazine

 My flash fiction story MANGOES also appeared today in the beautiful literary magazine Downtown Archives . What fun! I have to admit this is one of my favorite stories. I love all the subtle layers as the story unfolds, as well as its empowering message. Again, the illustration the editor chose for it is perfect!  Enjoy this story. I think you'll see why I like it so much! Mangoes - Downtown Archive (downtown-archive.com)

What a wonderful Monday this is turning out to be! I woke up this morning to two of my stories published in the beautiful new literary magazine Downtown Archive.   I love the illustration the editor used to illustrate TATS. So pretty in pink! This was a fun story to write. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it! TATS - Downtown Archive (downtown-archive.com)

My flash fiction story THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL just appeared in the Agape Review .  What a fabulous surprise to come back to my office this afternoon and find not only the acceptance email but that it had already been published in this beautiful literary journal. And don't you love the way the editors illustrated it? The image of the Miraculous Medal is perfect!  Enjoy this story. It's one of my favorites! The Miraculous Medal – Agape Review
