Stories and other things out there in the world
Irony of ironies, especially coming so soon after my most recent post, but just thought I'd note here that a few more of my stories and essays are kicking around the world as of today.
My short story, "Dog Days", has been published in the November issue of Found Press. You can read it here, though it will cost you a not-very-dear $1.99 to do so. Or, better yet, pay $12.99 and get access to an entire year's worth of stories! (Hint: I think the story is worth $1.99. And $12.99 for a year's worth of stories is a STEAL. But maybe I am biased.)
Another short story of mine, "The Resurrectionist", was chosen as a runner-up in this year's Thomas Morton Memorial Prize contest, put on by the lovely folks at The Puritan. You can read the story, and even hear me read an excerpt, by clicking on the title link above.
And finally, a personal essay of mine, "The Places In Between", was published today at The Butter. The essay was hand-picked by none other than Roxane Gay herself (all hail the Internet Queen! All hail!), and I am particularly, splendidly thrilled that she saw fit to give it a home.
I also have a short story, "Graduation", forthcoming in the next issue of PRISM International, out early next year. And...more things in the pipe, as always. Because of course, what is writing for if not a few moments of joy in and around all of the existential drama? :)
Share my novella folks! Why? Because you're lovely people, that's why.

Stop by the new Found Press website and check out my novella, "Somehow There Was More Here," which acts as a sort-of prequel to my novel-in-progress.
Josh nodded and took a drink, played with an ice cube. Manhattan smelled different from Brooklyn. So much combined here, restaurants on top of cabs on top of fresh bagels and always, always the garbage. It was perfect. In Brooklyn, away from the madness, things could be separated, catalogued, tied down. But not here. Somehow there was more here.
Working on the novel, seeing these characters (d)evolve, makes me think about these stories, where they all first came to life. #writing
As we walked to the door, Josh gave me a firm punch in the shoulder. My coffee mug jumped from my hand, and we watched as it bounced, all in one piece, down the linoleum hallway. The sound echoed through the building, like an old bell. 'I can’t believe it didn’t break,' I said. 'Damnedest thing,' Josh said. 'Strong coffee.'
