Rougarou: Journey to the End of the Night

Didn’t you ever run so fast you thought your legs were going to fall off? You know, like when you were running towards the swings? Or running away from Satan? The neighbor’s dog. Or, in this case, the rougarou! That’s right, gang: come September 20, the residents of Columbus, Ohio, will be racing through the twilitContinue reading “Rougarou: Journey to the End of the Night”

New review of Box Cutters

Folks, there’s a new review of my chapbook, Box Cutters! This one’s by Elise Matthews, in American Microreviews and Interviews, and maybe I’m biased, but I think it’s a fascinating read. A lot of reviewers have paid a lot of attention to the “between the lines” stuff going on behind the stories, but Matthews goes theContinue reading “New review of Box Cutters“

More literary news than you can read in a week

Man oh man. I’m looking at my web browser now and I have half a dozen tabs open just to stories about writing and publishing. And in my history, I’ve got almost a dozen more links I’ve visited in the past week or so. It’s been a busy time for literary news, is what I’mContinue reading “More literary news than you can read in a week”

A sneak preview of Hagridden

Apologies to people following me on Twitter or on my Facebook page, for whom this is repeated news. But my advance review copies of Hagridden came in the mail today. Please excuse me while I do a happy dance. It’s still the rough copy — it doesn’t yet have cover art, the blurbs are all stillContinue reading “A sneak preview of Hagridden“

People die around the Jersey Devil — but at least there’s an afterlife

The June issue of Jersey Devil Press is live. And full of death. Seriously. Everything from sweet old ladies in hospice care to suicides and, ultimately, nuclear destruction. For our own good, of course. But don’t worry! You can still get cell phone reception in Heaven. Okay, so the news out of JDP looks a littleContinue reading “People die around the Jersey Devil — but at least there’s an afterlife”

Reading from Hagridden at Lit Demon

A while back, I announced that I’ll be doing an online reading from Hagridden. That’s online, as in streaming video, live on your computer while you trim your fingernails and pick your nose (don’t worry — you can see me, but I can’t see you). This all goes down on Thursday, June 5, from 6-7 pmContinue reading “Reading from Hagridden at Lit Demon”

HAGRIDDEN is all over the interwebs and all over the nation

So, gang, it’s official: Hagridden is coming out August 19. To celebrate, Columbus Press has launched both a website for the novel and a page on their own publisher website, and I’m now officially announcing the release party, to take place at the public library in my own hometown back in Boerne, Texas. Come findContinue reading “HAGRIDDEN is all over the interwebs and all over the nation”

My favorite writers (who happen to be women)

A few days ago, author Mary Miller published a piece in Vol. 1 Brooklyn called “My Problem with VIDA: A Report from the Field.” In it, Miller expresses how “uncomfortable” she is with the gender statistics that the VIDA Report gathers and distributes — or rather, with the way in which such statistics gender our considerationContinue reading “My favorite writers (who happen to be women)”

Facebook got sliced up with Box Cutters and feels pretty Hagridden

So, per my publisher’s request, I now have an Author Page on Facebook. It’s easy to find: just search my name and I should turn up. Or scroll down the sidebar on my website and you’ll see a little Like button for the page (it looks like that image at right). Or just click thisContinue reading “Facebook got sliced up with Box Cutters and feels pretty Hagridden”
