Thomas Anthony Longo wanted to let everyone know that his short story, Courtesy Call, was published July 15th in Black Petals Horror and Science Fiction Magazine. He writes:

While I have sold six stories thus far, and two of my stories have been published in the online magazine Muscadine Lines: A Southern Journal, this publication in Black Petals will represent the first time my work has appeared in a print publication. Muscadine Lines: A Southern Journal is accessible online at: http://www.asouthernjournal.com/. My stories can be found in their archives. Black Petals’ online web presence for their current issue can be found at: http://www.blackpetals.net/id3.html. I hope that all of you will consider supporting Black Petals by buying this issue, and the next two as well, each of which will have a story I have written in it. Thank you for your support and encouragement over the years as I have striven to become a better writer. You might also want to keep an eye out for my detective story, Anonymous Hours, which will be published in an upcoming issue of Hardboiled Quarterly by Gryphon Books.
