Still continuing my Texas stories series. This time I’m posting from a story that isn’t available online, so you’ll just have to track down a copy of Red Wheelbarrow from 2008 and look for “Bathe in the Doggone Sin.” (Or email me and beg me to send you the file.) It was just a fewContinue reading “Photo blog 98”

Not-really-new publication
Today is a twofer! Though this publication isn’t exactly new: it’s “Horror Vacui,” which originally appeared in the online supplement to Vol. 6 of Ampersand Review last year. Ampersand, who is always awesome, went through a massive redesign of their website this year, and in the process a lot of their work disappeared from theContinue reading “Not-really-new publication”
September issue of Jersey Devil Press is alive
It’s out: the September issue of Jersey Devil Press. Really cool cover art from Justin McElroy, plus gobs and gobs of flash fiction, including a one of my favorite stories in any magazine this whole year, Matthew Burnside’s excellent “For Kylie.” You’re welcome.
Photo blog 97
I’m back from Texas now, but while I was there, I did indeed take more photos of locations related to my fiction. (And thanks to Jennifer and my family for putting up with me as I pulled over on the side of the road every few hundred yards!) Yesterday, I announced that Ampersand BooksContinue reading “Photo blog 97”
Ampersand West Coast Invasion!
So, this is happening: Portland, Oregon, at the Blue Monk, Sept. 18 at 8 pm. The very, very cool indie press Ampersand Books is hosting killer literature readings by Carrie Seitzinger, Hannah Pass, Gabriel Blackwell, Hobie Anthony, Jamalieh Haley, and — that’s right, folks — ME. That’s awesome. But wait, there’s more! The always excellent Dena Rash Guzman and Reuben Nisenfeld will beContinue reading “Ampersand West Coast Invasion!”
Ryan Werner (Wrote a Book) — and I’m one of the dudes publishing it
I know I’ve already mentioned Jersey Devil Press’s forthcoming story collection by Ryan Werner, but it bears repeating, which is why Ryan is blogging about it every day this month leading up to the release of Shake Away These Constant Days. If you aren’t reading those posts — well, maybe that’s okay, because then you’llContinue reading “Ryan Werner (Wrote a Book) — and I’m one of the dudes publishing it”
Photo blog 96
As I said last week, I’m in Texas. I’m still running around taking photos, but I’m also on vacation so I haven’t bothering uploading and culling them yet. But I do still have some photos from my last trip, which is what these are. They’re related to a scene in my story “A Few MayContinue reading “Photo blog 96”
Shake Away These Constant Days
Ryan Werner, who is great at titles, has a new book coming out from the press I work for, Jersey Devil Press, who are great at being awesome. Shake Away These Constant Days officially releases one month from today, on September 25, so for the next 30 days, Ryan and JDP are doing some thingsContinue reading “Shake Away These Constant Days”
Photo blog 95
I’m in Texas the next two weeks, and while I’m here, I thought I’d drive around some of my old haunts and photograph places that turn up in my Texas fiction. I did a little of that when I was last in Texas, back in April 2012. That’s when I took these photos. They relateContinue reading “Photo blog 95”
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”
