“Autumn Girl” appears in The Alien Buddha Loves You Too anthology.

I’m thrilled to share here that my poem “Autumn Girl” was published today in Alien Buddha Press’ new love-themed anthology, The Alien Buddha Loves You Too.  The 281-page volume takes a truly irreverent look at romance: “love hurts. It stinks. It’s a river. It’s a battlefield. It’s often kind of gross, and it makes people do some truly diabolical things. Inside: graphic depictions of sex, murder, assault, revenge, yearning, and bodily fluids.”

Well … my piece isn’t quite as unconventional as all those things, but I am still really happy to be a part of this book.  Alien Buddha Press is a publisher I’ve been meaning to approach for a long time — they are a first rate indie lit press and the venue for some incredibly talented voices.  I’m grateful to Founding Editor Nicholas “Red” Redf for allowing me to join the community this way.

You can find the anthology on Amazon right here.  If you’d care to peruse part of the book first, you can find a preview right here at the Alien Buddha Press website.

Throwback Thursday: the trailer for “Aliens” (1986)!

I was one of the lucky (and old, I suppose) people who saw “Aliens” (1986) in the theater.  (I am linking here, by the way, to Grindhouse Movie Trailers.)

This trailer had one of the greatest taglines in history too — “Aliens: This Time, It’s War.”



Emerald City Ghosts publishes “This Windy Morning”

My ghost poem has found a new home!  The really cool people at Emerald City Ghosts published “This Windy Morning” today in their inaugural issue.  You can find it right here:

Emerald City Ghosts is a new publisher of spectral things that are reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest (which, incidentally, is a place I have always wanted to visit).  The Substack-based magazine’s aim is “to provide the internet with spooky, rain-drenched stories, poems, and reviews.”  I am grateful to the editors for allowing me to be a part of the launch of such a unique and engaging publication.
