I guest-edited the Autumn Showcase of the Zen Space, a zen- and haiku-themed poetry magazine online. It was hard work finding and collecting and editing the work in this issue, but I’m really excited about the poems and photos I get to share with folks through this experience. Seriously, you should go and experience this thingContinue reading “I read a little poetry now and Zen”

New publication
This summer, one of my primary writing projects has been composing new short stories related to my Civil War novel, Hagridden. Each story involves a minor character or two from the novel, people who have some important moments in the book but are definitely supporting characters to the main narrative; in these stories, those folksContinue reading “New publication”
There she blows! A head like a billy goat! It is the Jersey Devil!
Over at Jersey Devil Press, we’re famously fond of dick jokes. So of course I’ve been making Moby Dick jokes all day. Because the September Jersey Devil Press is a whale of an issue! (Groan all you want — there’s more where that came from.) The issue itself is a bit of a guppy, all flashContinue reading “There she blows! A head like a billy goat! It is the Jersey Devil!”

Places to publish, literature to read
I don’t know if it’s just Jung’s collective unconscious or if we’re all slaves to social media, but I’ve noticed a trend lately in people posting lists of publishers. Like the “7 Chapbook Publishers” on Authors Publish, which includes the always-excellent Black Lawrence Press, my pal Maragret Bashaar’s Hyacinth Girl Press, and (best of all!)Continue reading “Places to publish, literature to read”
The correct way to pre-order a novel
Now that we’re less than a month away from the official release date for Hagridden, I’ve started getting questions about how to pre-order the book. Eventually, there will be a variety of ways to call shotgun on your copy of the novel, and when they’re available, you’ll find those at the novel’s website, HagriddenBook.com. ButContinue reading “The correct way to pre-order a novel”

People following my Author Page on Facebook already know a lot of this, but I wanted to put together a blog post with a handful of cool announcements in one place: The release date Nothing new here, but I wanted to remind everyone that as of yesterday, we’re officially one month away from publication! HagriddenContinue reading “Some exciting Hagridden news”
Hagridden has a cover!
It’s here, gang! Hagridden has a cover! I love everything about this, including the stuff you can’t see, by which I mean the conversations between me and the publisher as we looked at drafts of this. But my favorite bit: the clean font + distressed look = exactly the right combination of the book’s literary seriousnessContinue reading “Hagridden has a cover!”
