Cover art for Birthrite is in! And I love it. Thanks to Victoria Miller at Breathless Press for such a wonderful job.  A release date has not yet been set but as soon as I know, I will be sure to post it!

As July speeds toward us, I’d like to announce a change of time for my “Beginnings of Genre Fiction,” workshop at Cuppapulp Booksellers in Chestnut Ridge, New York this summer! (see above for details) I look forward to meeting many of you!

A brief update on some other projects. My YA fantasy tale is still in the query process and I’m actively soliciting agents. No word yet on some of my nonfiction and poetry submissions! Deadlines have not yet passed for any of them so the waiting game is on!

This month, I finally received the paper copy of my MFA diploma. It’s now joined its predecessors on the wall in my office. Part of me is very relieved to have completed my degree, though another part of me is saddened by the loss of the writing community I’ve been a part of for five years. I’m confident I will establish a new community beyond the graduate program.

Hmm… this update is rather brief. I guess that’s it for now!

Cheers,

Max
