In which we hold hands &talk about things like magic &Lionel Richie
Plain Wrap was kind enough to ask me to answer some questions. We might have been drunk and there may have promises exchanged that neither of us will keep, but those cops will think twice about rousting us out of the park next time.

Are you hip to the flame; are you one with the fire?
If you aren't familiar with HOUSEFIRE PUBLISHING, you should be. Riley Michael Parker and Company are beating your kids up and bragging about it in the publishing sense; you might as well know your hooligans.
NOUNS OF ASSEMBLAGE is the new anthology featuring some of the best and brightest in indie lit. I'm proud to be counted among them with my story, A SLEUTH OF BEARS. The full list of authors with amaze you. If you like great words, you will love this book. Order it from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
HOUSEFIRE is also featuring hot, free bonus content from the book on their brand spankin' new website, where you can find my poem, A PAIL OF WASPS, engaging in lewd and lascivious behavior with the rest of the arsonist brood.

[dt] collaboration with Keith Higginbotham in Phantom Kangaroo
My poem, LOUP GAROU I-III {a suite}, can be found in Phantom Kangaroo, Issue 10. The poem was inspired directly by this month's featured artwork, Keith Higginbotham's #12. I'm happy to once again have a piece featured in one of the best journals around, and genuinely thrilled to have collaborated with a poet/artist whose work I hold in such high regard. Thanks to both Keith Higginbotham and super-editor Claudia Lamar!
