Early birthday present from a fellow creative. Writers make the greatest friends. They know exactly what fuel you need.
And these happened along at exactly the right time, as I am making good on a vow to start writing stories again. They are currently helping me to conjure killer robots.
I am so happy today to see Spillwords Press feature my poem, “An Altogether Different Slumber.” You can read it right here.
Thanks, as always, to Dagmara K. and the rest of the editorial staff at Spillwords Press. It’s great fun being part of this vibrant creative community! 🙂
DC Comics. I noticed here that the words “The Master Race” were eliminated from the title for the French edition.
Chatting with a pal on the phone tonight, and there’s this audibly vicious dog with a terrifying, thunderous bark going nuts next door to her. It sounds like it’s the size of a Buick.
Her: “That dog does this every night. It is such an asshole.”
Me: “It’s the Hound of the Asskervilles.”
I am quite enjoying Love, Loss and Cardiac Issues, a 357-page tome of prose and poetry published by Impspired Magazine in the United Kingdom. This is truly a special anthology that was undertaken by the publisher to benefit cardiac research — it features the work of writers whose lives have been affected in one way or another by loss connected with heart disease.
There are more than 70 contributors here (of whom I am one). The authors I have enjoyed so far are too many to mention. I can easily think of several early standouts, however — Rhona Stephens’ heartrending poem “Greeting” is one. So, too, were Peter Magliocco’s “Gazing at the Vandalized Space” and Mark Blickley and Francesca Schwartz’ short story, “Pumped Up For Next Gig.” I really am honored to see my work included alongside that of such talented creators.
This is a great book. I highly recommend it.
Warner Bros. Pictures.
I tried to tune into “House of the Dragon” tonight, and I was really confused, because it was just this show about a house in New Orleans that was the ruin of many a poor boy.
Turns out I was watching “House of the Rising Sun” by accident.
