That’s right: I’m on a blog tour. (Let the links begin!) I began on Hagridden‘s release day with an interview with authorContinue reading “Hagridden blog tour extravaganza!”

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”

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!”
