Paul Abbamondi is an up and coming writer who will be appearing in issue nine of Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest. He's recently made sales to Aberrant Dreams and AlienSkin magazine and has twice appeared in the excellent literary genre magazine Shimmer.

The following story, "Curling Tendrils of Love", placed second in a contest hosted by The Red Light District. Not only did he win some cash and a much coveted Apex Global Domination Mug, but a promise of publication in Apex Online.

Eh, well...Apex Online was discontinued before we got to publish Paul's story. However, Paul was cool enough to give us the greenlight to post the story on A Writer's Vanity for all to enjoy.

I encourage you to visit and bookmark Paul's blog at http://wistfulwritings.blogspot.com/. He's a writer to watch.

We present to you below the cut...
