My collection of SF stories, The Chronotope and Other Speculative Fictions, offered as a pre-print edition ebook. The print edition, due this Fall from Wildside Press as a Wildside Double with a short novel, Poison from a Dead Sun, will contain 2 more stories ta this one. This ebook will go down once the print and Wildside ebook version are released.
My second 2012 book, Vivavious Vixens and Blackmail Babes, is now available in a print edition, published as Wildside Mystery Double #9, back-to-back with Gary Lovisi’s hardboiled, Violence is the Only Answer.
Vivacious is a 40,000 word collection of a short novel and four stories with themes of women who blackmail men.
A great find in the Union Square Barnes and Nobel window: Pictures of Houses with Water Damage in the “staff picks” pile. New York never ceases to amaze me!
New issue of Critique: Studies in Contempoary Fiction 52.4 contains my 10,000 word article, “Saying More Without Trying to Say More: On Gordon Lish Re-Shaping the Body of Raymond Carver and Saving Barry Hannah,” which is also, in a slightly expanded version, the second chapter in my overdue study on Lish contracted with Routledge. Did initial research in 2008 at Indiana University; submitted paper in 2009 while in Los Angeles and quickly accepted; published 2011 while I am in New York.
Ophelia Press has published a 44-page chapbook of seven older stories of mine, Eating Kristy’s Feet and Other Stories, which appeared in my Venus Book Club original, Seven Women, and in WTF: An Avant-Porn Anthology, Fedora IV, and the old Masquerade Journal.
A couple stories from this one will also be in a future collection, Mysterium…not sure when it will be out because I don’t have a publisher yet.
