Flash

Wow, it's been busy around here. I'm so glad school is almost done for the year. I'm looking forward to a relaxed summer and a chance for the girls to just hang out and play all day.

I'm still writing poems, but boy has this round of 30/30 been tough. Only a few more days to go!

You may have forgotten, but I also write flash fiction. My latest publications:

Wigleaf recently included my flash kawaii, a short meditation on Hello Kitty. They also invited me to send in a Dear Wigleaf postcard (look below the story for the link).

The latest issue of Press 1 just went live, with my take on the Pinocchio tale, If Truth Be Told.

Enjoy!

Bicentennial

Do you remember the year 1976? I do.

Get a glimpse of what it looked like in my poem Photo from 1976 in the latest issue of Orange Room Review.

Make a Kid Happy, Save a Lit Mag

One of my favorite lit mags happens to be for kids.



Stunning artwork, engagingly strange fiction, and a dark sense of humor all make this a magazine worth reading to yourself and your kids. But now, Crow Toes Quarterly needs your help!!

Like so many literary magazines, this one is funded from the editor's pocket. We all know times are tough. Don't let another good publication disappear - follow the link above to order an issue. Today's kids don't need another compilation of fluff and dumbed-down writing. They need something that will fire their imaginations and take them in different directions. Support Crow Toes Quarterly so we don't lose this special magazine!
