A collection of my poetry was mulled over for months and months at Goose Lane Publications. Unfortunately, it didn't make the cut, but it did make a short list. That's a good sign. Someone out there will want to publish it, I think.
My personal essay Saddles in the Kitchen has been nominated for The Pushcart Prize. I am thrilled that my story made Redivider's top five list of the year. Even if I don't win, I'm excited I got nominated by such a cool lit mag.
I just found out I am one of the recipients of this year's Waterloo Region Arts Fund. This is for my collection of short stories in the making. I received a grant from them a couple of years back for my novel The Everwhen. The funding went a long way towards the creation of that novel, and I am still in the process of revising it.
My flash memoir The T-Bone has been published by The Masters Review. Go check it out! They even say nice things about my writing. It makes me feel good.
My story "The Yolk of the Moon" was the second-prize winner at the Louisiana State University of Alexandria's flash fiction contest. You can read it here.
I've had more acceptances for more of my work. I'll share the details when I get them. It's been a busy year with an average of more than two publications each month. My hard work has been paying off. That and staying off FaceBook and Instagram. Heh.
