The review is up at Heavy Feather Review, and it’s beautifully kind! In language that is poetic, evocative, and lean, Snoek-Brown has managed to create a world thatContinue reading “New review of Box Cutters“

Wanna talk writing? Get possessed by the Lit Demon
The very cool folks over at Cease, Cows have branched out into a new venture and launched a literary community called Lit Demon. Part resource for writers and part online workshop, the site provides “connection, instruction, information, and maybe other -tions we aren’t able to list.” Their workshops include live webinars, one-on-one instruction, and self-paced writing courses, and the rest ofContinue reading “Wanna talk writing?

New publication
The new issue of Red Fez, one of the coolest literary magazines online, is out today, and I have a new story in it. It’s called “To Smoke the Hookahs,” and I think you’ll dig it. But don’t just check out my story; this whole issue is awesome, including more fiction, articles on everything from foodContinue reading “New publication”
A minor rearranging
Not that this is newsworthy, but I tweaked the website a bit today: now, under the About tab, you’ll find a link to my “Teaching & literary photos” page, which is really just a slideshow. The pix are mostly of me teaching or me at readings, but they’re kind of fun in that some areContinue reading “A minor rearranging”
New publication
I’ve written about this before, from time to time, but now it’s out in the world, waiting for you to buy it: the Revenge of the Scammed anthology, a benefit book to help out writer Edward J Rathke, is now available for purchase at Amazon. In it, you’ll find my story, “What Scholars Study They Strive toContinue reading “New publication”
Smells like springtime to the Jersey Devil
And by “smells like springtime,” we mean it smells like oranges that make you want to eat people. Because what else says “spring” like birth and death and roaming corpses and killer oranges and voracious cannibalistic appetites and companion slugs? Corpses and slugs, folks. Happy freaking Spring! Plus some deceptively haunting cover art by photographer IsabellaContinue reading “Smells like springtime to the Jersey Devil”

Some thoughts on a term completed
My community college is on the quarter system, and we just finished the winter term. And I always finish a composition class with an essay exam. I went through some of the reasons a couple of years ago, but here’s the short version: I value reflection in writing, and I like to see my studentsContinue reading “Some thoughts on a term completed”
A little bird told me to tweet
I’m not a Luddite. But I am ridiculously slow to adopt new tech things. Before I bought my first smartphone last August, I was still using an old prepaid flip phone — in 2013. The only two game consoles in my house are a PS1 (yes, that’s a 1) and a SuperNES (yes, that’s aContinue reading “A little bird told me to tweet”
