Two New Flash Fiction Stories

I'm very happy to have two pieces of flash fiction included in this month's issue of Connotation Press. It's exciting to be published alongside so many talented writers.

Mutant Neuron Codex Swarm

I'm very excited to have my first chapbook, Mutant Neuron Codex Swarm, published today by Hyacinth Girl Press. Thanks to Juliet Cook for collaborating with me, Christen Baer for her incredible artwork, and Margaret Bashaar for putting everything together. If you guys who would like a review copy, message me and I'll try to get one to you.

I have not made a new blog post in a long time

Because I don't have much to say. I'll think about preparing a post soon about new music, books or articles, but I don't know. In the mean time, here's a video of a cat and a squirrel playing.

Recent Developments

• It's 1:43 AM.

• I've been having trouble sleeping.

• So much is happening.

• My two cats are swell.

• I'm drawing a blank here (in many different colors).

I hope to put some time and energy aside soon to write a review of The New Arcana but tonight my mind is wandering, or in other words I probably won't write a review of anything.  We'll see.  I've been so wired lately.  A trip to Maui would do me good.  A nice bath in the everglades among the baby sea turtles and fauna or whatever.  I need a parrot to tickle my feet with a long feather clutched in its talons while some experimental elevator music plays from a nearby speaker nailed to a palm tree.  Sure it's hard to eat my cake in a hammock with a parrot tickling my feet, but it makes the music so much better.

I'm happy very excited to hear that my collaborative chapbook with Juliet Cook entitled MUTANT NEURON CODEX SWARM has been accepted for publication by Hyacinth Girl Press. More news soon.

STUFF TO READ: Amy Lawless & Ben Mirov

Many of you are probably well aware of these writers, but for those of you who haven't read much by them and are looking for something new, I'd recommend checking these two titles out.  I'm not a poetry reviewer, and won't attempt to be an authority on the subject, or bust out a thesaurus to describe in intricate detail just why I enjoyed these books, but I will say "I like them."  NOCTIS LICENTIA and GHOST MACHINE have both been available for awhile, so if you are thinking "of course I know about these, newbie." then I apologize.

I saw a Bluebird today

and did not write a poem about it.
