A couple weeks ago, I went to a workshop where I spent the week writing and learning, along with 20 other incredible writers (and I’m not just saying this to be nice – there were some awesome stories generated there), and during that workshop, I wrote this short story based on the one word theme, Gangsters.

Of course, I couldn’t write about real gangsters. I have a hard time dealing with stories that aren’t at least minimally sprinkled with the fantastic (I wrote one while there, believe it or not, but I have to create a whole new me before I put that one up), so I sprinkled it with a bit of fantasy, and came up with The Assassin and the Potionist.

It’s currently available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.
