Some of my short stories and chapter excerpts have been published in online litereary journals. Read about a young widow's efforts to cope with cold nights and waning inspiration in "How the Rain Caught Up With the Silkas" at Night Train . This piece was chosen by DeWitt Henry to receive third place in Night Train's Richard Yates Short Story Award.
For something racier, how about a punkrock-jazz roadrip in "Some Kind of Blue" at Mississippi Review .
"Solid Gone" is a prize-winning story about patching up old rifts in a family of Appalachian musicans, at Stickman Review .
"The Muckraker" is a fake investigative news article written in the style of a New Yorker piece and presented dead-pan as "broken news" at Exquisite Corpse .
Ever go back to a bar that used to be your regular watering hole, only to discover that no one knows you, and the booze doesn't even taste that good anymore? If so (and even if not), check out "Crossdresser" at Danforth Review .
"The Puppeteer" is an in-depth interview with the earthrumblingly weird Akira Murakami, professional freak, at Get Underground .
They say that "Almost Everybody Loves a Wedding." So, are you in the 'everybody' part, or the 'almost' part? Explore at Intertext .
"These Are My Demands" was one of my first publications, and still one of my favorite stories. Years have passed, but my demands have not changed a bit: Mississippi Review .
"The Only Cuauhtémoc in Town" was chosen by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Olen Butler to win first place in the Raymond Carver Short Story Award, a bit of luck that really lit a fire under my ass and got me working on a novel to land an agent. Thank you, Bob and Cuauhtémoc. At Carve Magazine
Can breasts be ripe? The editor of In Posse Review didn't think so, but she let me keep the phrase in "The Problem With Imaginary Food." You decide, at In Posse Review
