No April foolin’: the April 2010 issue of Foliate Oak Literary Magazine has been published and my poem Tequila Sunrise is in this issue.
I wrote this poem about a bartender I briefly dated. No one really dates a bartender. You meet up for drinks at about 2 in the morning – because that’s when they get off work – and then go your separate ways. It inspired me to write this poem, which is now officially published!

Leave a CommentMy poem To a Moth is going to be featured on the front page of W5RAn.com tomorrow between noon and 6 p.m. I met the people of W5RAn at SXSW, and they explained their unique business model.
They are an online-only independent magazine that posts new content – photography, writing, and other random stuff – every hour, on the hour. Like most independent magazines, they don’t pay anything, but I totally dig their model, and I decided to submit To a Moth for kicks. Support your independents!
For writers – the submission process was crazy easy, and you can probably get several things on here. Sure, it’s not the most glamorous thing to put on a resume, but it’s free, it’s easy, and it’s something.
1 CommentI finished writing this story right before South by Southwest, and am just now getting around to editing and posting it. It’s called Two Steps Forward, and I hope you enjoy it. Hit me up with some feedback if you’re so inclined.

Arrived today. I feel like
A real-life writer.
Well, the good news keeps on coming! Tequila Sunrise has been accepted by Foliate Oak Literary Journal, so 2010 already sees me as a thrice published author! It looks like they are a monthly journal, so it will be in print before you know it!
1 CommentI have had 2 of my poems officially accepted for publication in the 2010 issue of Clackamas Literary Review – so I am a real life author now! When the journal is published, you’ll be able to see my name in print.
Hip Hip Hooray!
