A friend of mine sent me a note saying she’d be busy today because her children had a “day full of recitals.”
I at first read “a day full of rectals,” and concluded she was being entirely overscrupulous where her children’s health is concerned.
I NEED READING GLASSES.

As of yesterday, the work of Dennis Villelmi can be considered a major influence on my poetry.
I know this because that “Wearwolf” gag I got off Facebook yesterday has gotten like 250 views and 47 shares. Never saw that one coming.
Anyway, I got one for ya … actually two.
What battles Grendel and also loves Joannie?
Scott Baiowolf.
What fights for equality every full moon?
Naomi Werewolf.
I’M %^&*ING HILARIOUS.
So you’ve taken advantage of Dagda Publishing’s free e-book promotion, and you fell in love with my prose. (Humor me a little here, okay?) Want a little more Eric Robert Nolan? Feel free to peruse the short story section at my website here: https://ericrobertnolan.wordpress.com/stories/
Most of the tales are free at the sites where they were published. So if you’ve enjoyed my stories about super-intelligent wolf armies and world-ending technologies, then check out my take on zombies, terrorists, missing children, childhood sweethearts and lost loves. Oh — also, those … things in “The Song of the Wheat.” Don’t ask me exactly what they are, because I’m as puzzled as you are.
… but there ain’t no Friday cooler than My Girl Friday, cause My Girl Friday is the coolest girl there is.
Every writer guy needs a best friend of the fairer sex to keep him sane.
Thanks, Lisa!
… they just can’t stop giving away e-books! Dagda Publishing’s free fiction giveaway for Kindle users has been extended.
There are some great titles for the taking. I’m a little on the fence about that hack New Yorker, because he’s starting to approach formula. (Seriously?! ANOTHER prophetic dream sequence?! That guy watched a lot of “Twin Peaks” in the 90’s, didn’t he?! And what’s with the wolf imagery again? Was he bitten by one as a kid?!)
Still, there are some amazing stories being told by folks like Laura Enright, J.C. Collyer, Andrea Hinchey, Dennis Villelmi, Jamie Burnette, and many other talented creators. Check out the offerings — because there are a lot of things to whet the appetite of any science fiction or horror fan.
From Dagda Publishing:
“Our free promotion has been so successful, that we have decided to extend it for a couple of days, so don’t worry if you think you missed out on picking up our fiction titles for free, you can still grab your copy until tomorrow! Follow the links below to download. We love you all.

I’m still celebrating Dagda Publishing’s “first birthday” (I’m snapping up the free fiction titles as quickly as anyone else), and I hope that their staff and editors get a nice break now that the publishing house is a year old. (They do work hard, really.)
I myself am worried about the “Terrible Twos.” Is that when they start yelling and throwing their spaghetti against the wall, and picking things up and saying “MINE?”
Seriously, though, Dagda is a wonderful independent publisher — they are a tremendous boon to new and emerging writers, to whom they extend invaluable opportunities for exposure. I know I am very fortunate to have had Dagda help me find my voice and reach an audience. Here’s a link to one of the first poems I published with Dagda, “Our Room In Brooklyn.”
