New publication
Here I am on vacation, with the full intent to take a break from the Internet and relax for a bit. Sure, I’m checking email, just in case something important comes up, but otherwise, I’m unplugging. And today — my first real day off — I get an email with news of a new publication!Continue reading “New publication”
On chapbooks
So, last week, as I was posting here looking for a title for my new chapbook, I was also trawling Facebook for title ideas and a friend of mine asked what a chapbook even was. She even apologized for being “just too lazy to Google it.” Which was totally cool with me — we’ve allContinue reading “On chapbooks”
I’m the Story Star of the Day!
How fantastic is this! A long while ago, I posted my whimsical little children’s story “The Escutcheon Plates Between Us” at StoryStar.com, and today, over on their Facebook, they’ve named me their Story Star of the Day! Just because it’s my birthday! (And, okay, maybe because the story is good, too.) I’m just thrilled toContinue reading “I’m the Story Star of the Day!”
Jersey Devil Press’s special novella issue awaits you
I’ve been really psyched for Jersey Devil Press‘s special novella issue since we editors first agreed to tackle a novella contest. Then we got a look at the top stories and, blown away, I’ve been even MORE psyched to get this issue into print. How Jody Giardina manages to make such a gross-out storyContinue reading “Jersey Devil Press’s special novella issue awaits you”
Best Texas Music (literary edition)
Today, the Dallas Observer is running a piece on “The Best Texas Songs of All Time,” counting down from 100. I found out about this from Denton band Slobberbone’s Facebook page, where they celebrated hitting #63 on the list with their track “Barrel Chested.” “The huge riff is lifted straight off an AC/DC albumContinue reading “Best Texas Music (literary edition)”
New publication
I have a new story online today, one I’m really excited about for a number of reasons! For one thing, the story, “Summerplace,” is in Eunoia Review, a publication I’ve liked for some time now and which is getting a bit of buzz in the world of online lit magazines. (And they’ve had a solid runContinue reading “New publication”
Meanwhile, as I sit here writing… (plus, Photo blog 89, sort of)
Some observations from the past several days: I just finished a story. When I started it, half of me wanted it to be a piece of flash fiction, and the other half wanted it to be a novella. The first draft wound up being 5,200 words. I met myself in the middle. Having this blog,Continue reading “Meanwhile, as I sit here writing… (plus, Photo blog 89, sort of)”
New publication
I have a new story online today — sort of. Actually, I have part of a story: The excellent Meg Tuite runs a fiction column called “Exquisite Quartet” over at Used Furniture Review. The idea is that she gathers three other writers she knows and trusts, and together the four of them collaboratively craft a singleContinue reading “New publication”
New publication
So, today, my story “The Voice You Throw, the Blow You Catch” got published at Fiction Circus. I’ve been really psyched about this one for a while now, gang, because I love the magazine and I’m pretty damned proud of the story. What makes this publication so exceptionally cool, though, is that Fiction Circus goesContinue reading “New publication”
