So, I have a short story coming out in the new Notre Dame Review. One of the cool things the NDR editors do is publish an online supplement with other work from writers in the issue. Stop by and check out a couple of my older stories, a poem, and an interview.

Looks like my novel is seriously discounted on Amazon right now. If you don't have a copy, it's a good time to put those Christmas-gift Amazon gift cards to work.

I'm perhaps a bit overly excited to see my short story "Pursuing the Fix" up in the new issue of Duende. Long journey with this one. I wrote it during my last year on the inside, sold it to a different journal that paid me well for it then promptly folded. It's a quirky favorite.

My short story "The Stupid Third" is up today in the new issue of The Critical Pass Review.

Good start to the day. My short-short story "Luck's Run" is just up in Potato Soup Journal:

Yes, I know it's Poetry Month, but I have prose news (oh, rebellion against the established order!)

This summer, my literary novel STATES OF MERCY will be released by Alien Buddha Press. Much backstory to this book, which I will share in the months ahead.

Then, later in the year, my slapstick novella SOMEWHAT MISUNDERSTOOD will be included in the the Running Wild Press Novella Anthology. Again, more details to come.

No, I'm not violating the Chaplinsky Doctrine and shouting fighting words at you. That's the title of my short story up today in the new issue of The Sonder Review. Check it out:

Almost missed this interview with Bellingham Review (who were kind enough to publish me in their recent issue):

Finally, I'm excited to announce the release of my literary novel States of Mercy from Alien Buddha Press. This book means a great deal to me. Its journey has been as long and harrowing as mine. Over the next few weeks, I'll tell you all about it. For now, please order a copy from Amazon. I want you to love this book as much as I do. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1095480081?...

Over the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing the story of the manuscript for States of Mercy (not the story IN the manuscript, mind you--you have to buy the book for that). Here's today's installment:

THE STORY OF THE MANUSCRIPT, PART 1: IS IT CURSED?

I have, at times, believed it was. It has had a profound effect on my life. Many of you have heard me say this: although everyone else called me a poet, I always considered myself a novelist. When I say this, it should clear that up. STATES OF MERCY was the 13th novel that I wrote. By comparison, for those of you that have read A SONG WITHOUT A MELODY, that was my 5th. That's a lot of novels and a lot of years of my life.

Is it cursed because it was #13? Probably not. That's just a coincidence. Why then? Tune in in the coming days for more details.
