A whole string of announcements

I know, gang. I’ve been awful about updating the blog lately. Call me busy — with editing, with teaching, with tutoring, with a slew of other projects. But I’m not alone. Some friends of mine have been quite busy lately, too! Matthew Burnside, whose fiction I have become a huge fan of, has a newContinue reading “A whole string of announcements”

New publication

I have a new story online today! And people, this one feels special. The story, “Curl Up and Burn,” is another from my collection, Strangers Die Every Day. When my story “Have Love, Will Hurt” shows up later at The Rusty Nail, all the short stories (but not the novella) will have been published somewhere, at someContinue reading “New publication”

Lulu for literature

Whenever I see the POD service Lulu, I think of LuLu hypermarkets, where my wife and I sometimes shopped in Abu Dhabi. But then I also think about friends of mine who’ve put out work through Lulu.com, and I think about the online literary magazines who have turned to Lulu to produce their fine printContinue reading “Lulu for literature”

Taking off my shoes; putting on another hat

I have a new job, gang. I’m now serving as production editor at Unshod Quills, where I join the excellent Dena Rash Guzman, Wendy Ellis, Donald Rilea, Holly Hinkle, and Brian Tibbetts. I’m proud as hell to be part of a magazine that has already published work by Patrick Bahls, Rusty Barnes, Matthew Burnside, Matty Byloos, Chloe Caldwell,Continue reading “Taking off my shoes; putting on another hat”

New publication

I don’t write much poetry, but when I put lines down I feel fairly confident in, they’re always in the form of haiku. I feel like I understand that form, inasmuch as anyone can (the mystery and ambiguity of the form is one of the reasons I love it so). And, as regular readers mightContinue reading “New publication”

Math in words

We survived the fake Mayan apocalypse, and though people still seem pretty worried about this fiscal “cliff” (slope) thing, I’m going to go out on a limb and say, what the hell, we’ll make it through that, too. I feel pretty confident, because 2012 has been the Year of the Dragon in eastern astrology, andContinue reading “Math in words”

New(ish) publication

People who read my blog a lot (no, I haven’t forgotten you, even though it’s been more than a week since I last posted) might remember my story “Lightning My Pilot,” which was in Bartleby Snopes back in September. If you missed it, don’t worry — it’s getting re-published by Bartleby Snopes: it’s just beenContinue reading “New(ish) publication”

Jersey Devil Press will sneak up behind you undetected

December is a twofer: in addition to our special International Human Rights Day issue, Jersey Devil Press is also running our regular monthly issue. Except it’s anything but “regular” — this one’s another novella issue, and it’s a fistful of awesome! Why? Because of one stealthy, lethal word: Ninjas. Also: Football. That’s right. Ninjas andContinue reading “Jersey Devil Press will sneak up behind you undetected”
