Hello, friends!

My poems, “Magic Eye,” “No Bees in Antarctica,” and “Monarch” appeared in Issue 10 of Life and Legends. Many thanks to editor Kalpna Singh-Chitnis.

“Magic Eye” also appeared in the Temptation issue of Libretto (Nigeria), as well as my cadralor poem, “Theoxenia.” Many thanks to the Libretto team. To access the issue, scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the button that says “Download PDF.”

“The Skinner Box” appeared in the Rye Whiskey Review. I am always grateful to editor John Patrick Robbins for allowing me to be a regular contributor to the Rye.

Additionally, I was a featured reader for the Attic Owl series (Canada). This reading was a thrill for me because I got to read alongside two of my favorite contemporary poets, Lillian Necakov and Scott Ferry. Many thanks to Lillian for extending the invite, and to Kayla Geitzler for coordinating. This was truly a spectacular group of writers, so I hope you give it a watch.

And finally, James' Online Book Club has nice things to say about The Order of the Four Sons,Book 1. This was apropos, since today, June 29, is the anniversary of its completion, THIRTEEN YEARS AGO. I can’t believe it’s been that long! It’s been a year since I finished the series, and that is even more unbelievable. Thank you to James Lawson Moore for reading the book, even though that type of fantasy is not usually your cup of tea. If you haven't discovered the O4S series yet, Book 1 is only 99 cents on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and other major ebook retailers. It is also availble in paperback. 

Speaking of O4S-- in case you missed it, I posted some trivia about the series earlier this month. 

Thank you for reading! To my fellow Americans, have a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend! Hope everyone in this hemisphere is surviving the summer heat. My next post will be for The Order of the Four Sons, Book 5. Hope you’re as excited about that as I am.
