New publication

I’m an ingredient in a drink, y’all!

As of today, my story “Have Love, Will Hurt” appears in the August/September print issue of The Rusty Nail, which is both my father’s favorite cocktail and a kick-ass literary magazine.

This story is one of the fun ones, too. Not because of the content (a guy falls in love with a knife, people), but because it’s one of those stories where I indulge my obsession with intertextual connections. Anyone who liked Miguel in “No Milk Would Come,” or Bobby in “Kicking to Stay On,” or Neal in “Kamikaze,” well, here’s your chance to see them all in one story!

Huge thanks to Craig Hart for picking up the piece, and I hope you like it.
