What an amazing week. My novella Seal Skin was released as an ebook and two of my short stories went live. The first, Fantasm, is at Atticus Review, along with works by Michael Levan and Susan Rukeyser. I have to admit that of all the things I've written, Fantasm is one of my favorites. The second, Hush, is at a new website devoted to women's writing called Katherine Press. To read Fantasm, click here. To read Hush, click here.

NEWS

What could be more wonderfully symbolic than being featured in an inaugural issue of a magazine on New Year's Day? Split launched today on 1/1/11 and I'm lucky that my story "Brother David" is a part of it. Founded and edited by Richard Kriheli, Split is a pretty fun magazine with art as well as poetry and prose. And I really liked that each entry had a distinct voice and a distinct story, because you don't often get that at a literary magazine. I mean, it's startling how incredibly monotonous most literary magazines are, one voice, one style, story after story, issue after issue. Featured too in this inaugural issue are William Creedle, Vince Beauchemin, Malathip Kriheli, Cassie McDaniel, John Abbott, Michelle Han, and Everett Maroon. Please click here to go straight to the issue.
