Hello, and welcome to the website of Saskatchewan-based writer (and sometimes artist/flash fiction editor/poet) Kurt Kirchmeier. Here you’ll find news and links regarding recent and forthcoming short fiction and poetry releases, as well as general updates on what I am working on now (middle grade and young adult novels, for the most part). Follow the links on the right for more detailed information, and to stay apprised of recent developments, check back often.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit!

I’ve decided to add a new page to my website so that I might share a few of my previously published stories. The first one I’m posting is “Souls on Display,” a contemporary fantasy piece that first hit print in 2007 and was reprinted in 2009. It also happens to be one of my personal favorites. Just click the free fiction link on the menu to read. I hope you enjoy it!

New Fiction

My steampunk story “Love, Must” is now available in the Hugo-award-winning super-zine, Weird Tales. I hope you’ll check out the issue. It’s a great one. Also newly available are my stories “Myths and Messerschmitts” and “Symphony of Bones,” in Tales of the Unanticipated and Withersin, respectively. “Myths” is a high-octane blend of SF and Japanese legend, and “Symphony” might well be the best piece of horror fiction I’ve written. Below are the covers for all three magazines. Click the purchase page for order information.
