DAVID K. SLAY
After retiring from full-time work as a psychologist, David K. Slay completed two years of short story writing workshops, primarily in the UCLA Writers’ Program. His first published short story appeared in the 6th annual edition of Gold Man Review, and several others are in both on-line and print journals, including most recently the Winter 2019 issue of Calliope. He is interested in stories that generate self-awareness, or reveal something true about human nature. He lives in Seal Beach, California.
