New Fiction in Five Parts

This post is a twofer. First, I get to tell you about FiveChapters.com, a web site that posts new fic­tion in kind of a nov­el way. Almost a throw­back to the 19th cen­tu­ry, FiveChap­ters pub­lish­es short fic­tion in ser­i­al for­mat. Each week, they present a sto­ry in five parts, and you can fol­low along as the week unfolds. Now (and here’s the sec­ond part), let me men­tion that FiveChap­ters show­cased last week a sto­ry from Scott Hutchins, a good writer and col­league of mine. It’s called $30,000. Here it goes.
