Titular just published my story, “Resident Evil.” It’s great to find an editor who isn’t scared off by the so-called horror elements of the piece. Thanks to Titular and thanks to five-year-old Morrison, who first proclaimed it “good!” last Halloween.

I recently had writing accepted at Right Hand Pointing and Tuesday Shorts, which I’m pretty happy about. One thing I’ve noticed is that the preferred blog etiquette seems to be to announce when the work is finally published rather than upon acceptance. So that’s what I’ll be doing in the future although I wanted to mention these great journals whose positive responses mean a lot.

Six Sentences just published “Do Not Search for Me.” It was a good exercise trying to fit something into their length limit and really the most suitable venue for a Facebook reference.

My friend Chris Wilson and I have a collaborative piece forthcoming at Mud Luscious.  I think it may be the first collaborative writing I’ve done.  And the last!  Just kidding, CW.

As Visiting Professor of English for 2005-06, I gave a fiction reading at Hamilton College. Held in the gladiatorially named “Red Pit.” I had the urge to shout “are you not entertained” at its conclusion.

Very good turnout and lively Q&A session. Nearly every member of the English Department was there to show support. I’ve never experienced that before—in fact, I’ve never even observed it.
