Pushin' it

My short short "A Sandwich and the Heart of the Story" was nominated for a Pushcart Prize by Barge Press!

You can buy Volume 1, which features more work by myself and some kick-ass writers, here.

Thanks to Shawn Maddey, et al!

Housefire!

New fiction at Housefire Publishing: The Heart of An Animal.

Is it possible to write a book that doesn't tell you anything?  

What other techniques might draw and retain readers?

Still Kickin'

Revelation is undergoing cover design, pre-sales will reportedly begin on October 1st at the Mutable Sound website.  This depends on many things, and of course is subject to change.  If it changes, I'll let you know.

I'm hosting this Friday (7PM) at Ben Clark's official book release for Reasons to Leave the Slaughter.  The event is being held at the SAIC Ballroom (112 Michigan, Chicago, IL), and will feature performances by many great artists, poets and the like.  Click here for a full list!

Also coming up: Benjamin Chaffee and I will be presenting on October 15th at the &Now Conference at UC San Diego.  The working title of our talk is "Furniture Ghosts: Erik Satie is Playing at my House".  We are very excited for the opportunity!  Come see us.  We present right before David and Eleanor Antin!

Lot's of things happening, school is back in session.  Back to work!
