Stewart Langdon is a relatively new author working hard to gain publishing credits as he completes his first novel. His work to date includes numerous critically-acclaimed stories posted on www.Writing.com. His flash-fiction piece entitled Charcoal Man won a contest on the same site. The story proved so compelling and received so many rave reviews that Stewart decided to expand it into a longer, richer story that was subsequently published in The Harrow (www.TheHarrow.com, Charcoal Man, September 2006).
