"Everything Gets Mixed Together at the Pueblo" To Be Published in Crab Orchard Review
As the kids say, Boo-Ya!
After getting honorably mentioned a couple weeks ago by Glimmer Train, my story "Everything Gets Mixed Together at the Pueblo" has been accepted for publication by the prestigious Crab Orchard Review from Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

A Summer Lament
Summer – and is the living easy, you ask? No, the living is hot, mosquito-y, and full of charcoal grilled meat and the skirls of small, snotty children. Ah, summer. Full of my least favorite things.

It was only a few months ago that I was knee deep in rain, longing for the impossible (a suntan), and here I am lamenting this time of barbecues, biting flies, and potato salad.

An Honorable Mention in Glimmer Train's Fiction Open
My story, "Everything Gets Mixed Together at the Pueblo," just won an honorable mention in the Glimmer Train Fiction Open. Dang. Close, but no cigar.
Still, apparently my piece was in the top 5% of over a thousand stories, so I guess that's something to celebrate, right? Check out us honorables here.
