The Kobo listing is currently not showing the promo price, but it should be set shortly. So in case you need a rundown of every place where you canContinue reading “Quick update on the play promo”

Frontera Fest Special!

Last month, I had a one-act play I’d written produced as part of Frontera Fest, a local theatre event. It was quite an event, and even if we don’t make Best of the Fest next week, I’ll be very happy with how things went. But that’s the subject of a longer post for later. ForContinue reading “Frontera Fest Special!”

New Nonfiction Published

This week, Trivia: Voices of Feminism launched its newest issue, which includes my short memoir, “The First Six Months of Survival.” The essay is about loss of fellow writer and dear friend Reesa Brown, and brings to the fold some of the most important books I read during that time. It’s interesting how things have changedContinue reading “New Nonfiction Published”

Pulitzer Remix: Week 1

I’m posting my Pulitzer Remix poems over on the project site, but here’s a roundup of the first week! The first five days, I created black-out poems. These pieces were all creative stretches for me; I have only created black-out pieces a handful of times. But I’m in a really busy period at work, andContinue reading “Pulitzer Remix: Week 1”

Publication update

Woo! Time really flew by last month. My work appeared places! And I never linked to them because I’ve been a delinquent blogger! If you missed my Writing on the Air appearance, you can find a link to the show archive here. I have a villanelle entitled “I hear the thunder” in an anthology entitled JourneyContinue reading “Publication update”

And we have pre-order!

That’s right! We’re Smaller Than We Think We Are is now available for pre-order. Finishing Line Press is offering a shipping discount for anyone who reserves a copy between now and February 27th. I’ve spent today pretty much just bouncing off the walls. If I’m this excited now, I can only imagine how hyper I’ll beContinue reading “And we have pre-order!”

New Poem Up!

This weekend, “A Soul for an Hour” was published in the San Antonio Express-News, appearing both in print and online. This is the first of my twenty-six abecedarian sonnets to be published, and I’m happy to have the series debut in a Texas publication. Thanks to poetry editor Jim LaVilla-Havelin for publishing my work. (The onlineContinue reading “New Poem Up!”

And now for the big announcement!

I’ve been holding onto this news for about two weeks now, but I wanted to wait until the contract had been signed and the release date had been set before I put this out to the entire internet. I am thrilled to announce that Finishing Line Press has accepted my chapbook, We’re Smaller Than We ThinkContinue reading “And now for the big announcement!”

A Blackbird Sings now available!

Back in January, I took up the challenge of writing one small stone every day for the entire month. Two of those pieces were selected for A Blackbird Sings, which is now available on Kindle in both the US and the UK. (UK readers can also preorder the paperback here; US paperback coming soon.) I loveContinue reading “A Blackbird Sings now available!”

Work published at Haiku Journal

I have an haiku in issue 13 of Haiku Journal. The entire issue is free online, and I’m proud to be sharing space with such wonderful writing. I especially love this one by Peter Sacco: Between each movement the trio rests ─ the dark hall echoes with coughing My own contribution to this issue was writtenContinue reading “Work published at Haiku Journal”
