May 2009: My edgy
Word Riot piece was listed as a Notable Story of 2008 and winnowed through the mass of gorgeous work to reach the Notable Stories shortlist in Jason Sanford's Million Writer's Awards 2009. Some amazing stories there to read, if anyone has interest.

Night Train this month in issue 9.1.
Also, a new magical realism story just released at
The Abacot Journal. Pop in and take a look.
March 2009: Paul Toth does it again. Another innovative idea! Check out his new online journal
Hit and Run Magazine, which works as a visual collective of "the raw materials of fiction, poetry and other creative work: scrap metal; index cards; napkin notes" et al, where a portion of a
story in progress, a single page, handwritten, with doodle, has been posted. Also, submit if you will!
November 2008--Underground Voices has just published a magical realism/paranormal piece of mine called "The Rose Lamp". They were even kind enough to put a beautiful painting along with it. Can't say enough good about this journal. Please drop in and check it out. October 2008--a new story entitled "Beautiful Ape Girl Baby" has just been published in the premiere issue of the print journal A Cappella Zoo. This piece is not available online, but check out the A Cappella Zoo. They just had their second edition come out and it is lovely too! August 2008. Three stories came out, so I'll speak to them a little. I was delighted to have an experimental piece out with SubLit called "Three Photos" that uses a narrative device of faux photographs to tell the tale of the familial downfall of an unreliable narrator. And also lucky to have a dystopic story out in print in the UK called "This Time, While We're Awake" in Trespass Magazine, so hello, my lovely English friends--yay!--a story has hit your soil. Check out the August/September issue. Additionally, a lovely little flash fiction called "Catholic Girl Smile" went live at KeyHole Magazine. :)______
May 2008--An edgy little piece came out in
Word Riot entitled "You Are One Click Away From Pictures of Nude Girls"--(NOTE: I had this story linked in, but Myspace made the link come out spam due to the naughty nature of the story title. Ach! Click the venue above and you can get to it. :)
Also, in May, I placed a crime-noir story in Steven J. McDermott's
Storyglossia--where stories matter--in the May 2008 issue, # 28, guest edited by Anthony Neil Smith entitled
"The Humming"
