Welcome to the new home of Ooter's Place: The Fact & Fiction of Karl El-Koura. The old site is still available; most of the content has been ported to this new site except for the news archive. It's my plan to post my previously published short fiction and articles to this website, on a weekly basis or so. The first story to be posted, naturally, is "They Came From Ooter's Place," the first story I ever sold and this site's namesake. Hope you enjoy the story and thanks for visiting!
