Metazen, which is edited by Frank Hinton, has published a story by me called "Upon Awaking." It features a lengthy description of a conversation in bed on Valentine's Day, 2009. Frank described the description as a paralytic thought helix.
I will also be in Metazen's Christmas Charity E-Book, along with Ana C., Jordan Castro, and others. If you donate money now, you will receive the e-book on Christmas Day. All proceeds benefit an orphanage in Cambodia.
I've been busier lately, so I haven't updated this in a while. Not sure if I want to keep posting book reviews here or not.
I will be reading with Sam Pink and two others at The Whistler in Chicago on Sunday, December 19th at 6 P.M. as part of the Orange Alert Reading Series, curated by Jason Behrends.
I will be hosting the first-ever Pop Serial reading at Cafe Ballou in Chicago on December 21st at 7 P.M. 939 N. Western Ave. Many friends will be in attendance and reading: the aforementioned Sam Pink and Jordan Castro, as well as Cassandra Troyan, Carrie Lorig, Feng Sun Chen, Leif Haven, Brett Gallagher, Andrew James Weatherhead, and Steve Roggenbuck. I will be telling jokes, shooting the shit, and talking about the readers and my feelings. I would love it if you came.
