Last night I had the terrific honor of attending the Oregon Book Awards ceremony here in Portland. Better still, I got to sit down front, with my writer pal Hobie Anthony and poetry nominee Carrie Seitzinger and her partner Matty Byloos.

Louisiana research trip: the photos
What follows is a series of photos — just some of the photos I took — from my trip to southwest Louisiana to research the final details of my Civil War novel, Hagridden.

Louisiana research trip: the beginning
A couple of weeks ago, during the last ten days of March, I used the funds from my Oregon Literary Fellowship to travel to southwest Louisiana to research the final details of my Civil War novel, Hagridden.

I have a new story online today, folks. This one’s one of the sentimental ones, a bit of a boyhood romp. (I took a break from the killings and the loneliness and the cannibalism.

Jersey Devil Press loves you, man
There’s a lot of soul-searching going on in Jersey Devil Press this month. Romance, identity crises, innocent sexual exploration, aliens in disguise, dust devils turning young girls into motes….. Yes, we’re getting deep. And topping it all off is cover art by returning artist Jon Snoek (full disclosure: I’m lucky to call him my brother).Continue reading “Jersey Devil Press loves you, man”
March is the month of fiction
So, it’s been a whirlwind month this March. I have had five different stories published in the last four weeks, and two more coming out very shortly. So I thought, just so nothing gets lost in all the posts titled “New publication,” that I would collect March’s stories here in one post. “You Always.” Quickly AContinue reading “March is the month of fiction”

I’m kind of in love withContinue reading “New publication”

Continuing in the awesomeness of March = Sam’s fiction, I have a new story out today.
