post 999. Turn & Work: Atabasca.

Very excited to join the folks at Turn & Work Lit Mag as a music contributor! I was last writing music articles, reviews, and interview for City Newspaper, back in Rochester New York. In the 00s. So I'm very happy to be back in it, discovering new music and writing about what I love!

My first review is for Atabasca's self-titled debut. Read it...here!

post 998. You Found A Ghost.

So insanely happy to have my latest, "You Found A Ghost," in Milk Candy Review. Honored to have a piece accepted by the incredible author Cathy Ulrich. Read it...here.

post 997. Best Small Fictions.

It's finally here! My piece, "They Fired Up The Laser," published by Dishsoap Quarterly on New Year's Eve 2024, was included in Best Small Fictions 2025! Very happy to be included with so many other talented writers. Thanks, Dishsoap! Go grab a copy...here!

post 996. Today Would've Been A Friday.

Very, very happy to make it into one of my favorite lit mags, Scaffold Lit! This one simmered in my head for about a month, tinkering and thinking about it, not rushing it, which is different from my usual way of writing: just getting something I think is "good enough" and sending it out. I need to spend more time making sure my pieces feel 100%, and not being as worried about getting something out the door in hopes of getting published. Read it...here.

post 995. Focal Point.

Great to see (more) work with Ksenia Wegner make it into Traaaw Mag! We had a great time working together; the photo shoot that keeps on giving. Take a look at the whole (NSFW) set...here.

post 994. What The Constitution Means To Me.

Very excited to get back to Michigan to be a part of What The Constitution Means To Me, at Meadow Brook Theatre! Feels like I just left...which means another chance to get to Third Man Records (again), enjoy the DIA (again), and eat my weight in Buddy's Pizza (again).

post 993. Last Ride.

What a way to start the new year: I've got a piece out today with Gooseberry Pie Lit! This is a creative non-fiction-y work that came out of last year's Smokelong Quarterly March Micro Madness workshops. It had been laying around in the hard drive until this past October, when the stars aligned (meaning, "the coffee") and I found the right edits that made me feel good. Thankful to Gooseberry Pie for taking it in! Read it...here.

post 992. Teaching An Old Dolphin New Tricks (Again).

Really excited that I've gotten this old chestnut reprinted by the fine folks at Metastellar! My sci-fi piece about a cranky veteran spacer was first published in the Ab Terra Anthology 2022, and I'm very happy to see it out there again. This is also the second year in a row that I've had something published on New Year's Eve! Very thankful. Read it...here.

post 991. Noms.

I've been very lucky to have some of my work this year be nominated for Best Of's! Many, many thanks to Trash Cat, Hotch Potch, and Flash Frog for nominating these pieces!
