Happy Holidays, my friends! It’s hard to believe I’ve been
maintaining this blog, more or less, for over eight years now. It seems simultaneously
so much longer than that, and yet, not that long at all. I’ve never been one of
the great bloggers, but I hope to keep producing a piece here and there that
people find worth reading.
To finish out the year and the decade, here are my latest
publications:
“Girl with a Gun” and “Parisian Phoenix by Way of Texas” were
published in Unearthed, which
is run by Professor Tyler Flynn Dorholt and the student editorial board at SUNY
College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
“Chaos Theory” is in the winter issue of Re-Side Zine. Many thanks to
editors Beth Longman and Elizabeth Kemball.
“Deactivated” appeared in the latest issue of Peculiar.
I had 99 pieces (poems, short stories and reviews) appear in
55 publications/venues. I also published two books, Requiem for a Robot Dog (Cajun
Mutt Press) and High Water Lines (Prolific Press). I received two Best of the
Net Nominations, one from The Harbor Review and one from Whale Road Review. I
also received the Seamus Burns Creative Writing Award from the Verbal Writing
Centre in Northern Ireland. It’s truly been a great year. I’m hoping 2020 holds wonderful
things as well.
I am so close to finishing Book VI of The Order of the FourSons, I can almost taste it. I’m hoping for a spring release of the book. When
I finish the first draft, I plan to share a new excerpt. I have some other O4S
fun stuff squirreled away for upcoming posts.
Thank you again for your readership! I’m wishing you all the
best for the new Roaring 20s.
