Crowtastic - new story published!

Hello friends!

Full of Crow's October issue is loose and feasting on readers' eyes (see what I did there?!). It is one of my favorite lit mags around - read through some of the archive. AND I have a story in it!! "Solace in Colors" which hails from my forthcoming collection, Only Human: Stories of Weakness. I am alongside of some great writers: Ben Tanzer, Adam Moorad, Paul Beckman, Aimee De Long, and MORE.


"Solace in Colors" is about Stephen Colbert and his unique ability to turn anything and everything into some sort of ego-booster. He's a funny man, indeed (although I do like The Daily Show better). The story, however, digs into his soul as a normal human being - not in front of the camera - trying to find comfort in the color purple.

Because everyone has those weak moments.

2 poems

HUZZAH!

Two of my prose poems have appeared at The Camel Saloon.

1. 'Tough Situations'
2. 'It's okay I'm not really okay'

I love indie lit, its a fact. The Camel Saloon is about as indie as it gets and I have yet to read something that I have not enjoyed over there.

Suggestion: Read some. Then submit. Boom.

Pancakes for dinner

We are drones told what to wear, what to eat, what to think. But sometimes, when our minds break the trance, we are free to do whatever the hell we want.

And I want pancakes for dinner.

Universe B

There is a thin line between living and existing. But maybe, in another universe, they are one in the same. I can't wait to visit there. I shall call it Universe B and we are Universe A. And, maybe, in B we live and exist and love and die all in one idea. It isn't separated by careers, schools, or money. Everything is equal to everything and nothing matters more than the molecule next to it. And maybe, there, everyone is happy. Depression is a foreign word. Because everyone only knows love. Love, love, love. The word love can cause sadness, but it quickly disappears into the atmosphere and oozes into space - to be discovered by Universe A-ians. And we take that sadness and call it religion. And believe in it. Even the agnostics. At least, until they reach a point in their lives where they question belief and faith. Thus, pushing them to search for something else; like an alternate universe.

I want to visit B. I hear it's nice this time of year.
