Updates

There is much going on here, and I hope to update even more soon.

First, I just found out that my interview with Mike Miller at WUTC about Into This World will be rebroadcast tomorrow for their Round and About show. Check it out either online on or on your radio-88.1

I also recently found out ITW received an Honorable Mention for the Eric Hoffer Award in the General Fiction category. Here is the review that goes with it:

In a few weeks I'll be in New Haven, returning as a workshop leader for the Yale Summer Writers' Conference. If it was anything like last year, I'm in for a treat. The faculty and students are talented and fun to hang out with.

After that Rowan and I fly to Seoul, where we'll spend a week before flying to somewhere in SE Asia, locale still TBD. It's been more than 10 years since I've been to Thailand and even more since I was in Indonesia. It hardly seems that long ago. I'm curious to see what has changed and what has not in that time. Then we're on to the Hong Kong where I'll be part of the faculty for the low residency MFA summer session:

And during that time I'll be working on revising Replay, the novel supported by a MakeWork Grant. When I get back in late July, I will be in full-on photo-taking mode--gathering photos that I might want to use in the novel.

A few other projects in the works, writing and non-writing related. More on those soon!
