Here’s an excerpt: Xander sat straight up, gasping for air and startling Kaia. She reached for him, but he thrashed violently and shoved her aside.

We Are Not This: Carolina Writers for Equality – Press Release
I’m lucky enough to have a story in this–“The Dark Lady” about a transgender actress in the days of Shakespeare. But even if I didn’t, I’d promote the living juice out of it.

It’s available as an ebook right now from Amazon here,Continue reading “We Are Not This: Carolina Writers for Equality – Press Release”
Review of News of the World by Paulette Jilles
News of the World is one of those short novels written by a poet where every image and syllable is rife with meaning and symbolic import. Set in Texas in the 1870s, it’s the story of 72-year-old Captain Jefferson Kidd, an old soldier and former owner of a printing press who makes his living readingContinue reading “Review of News of the World by Paulette Jilles”
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead: a review
For the past few years, I’ve been reading mostly genre fiction. Graduate school and a long string of deathly dull reads had convinced me that the new literary novel was of interest to nobody who didn’t live in New York City and/or worship John Updike (or at least Cormac McCarthy) as a god. But thisContinue reading “The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead: a review”

4 Ways to Fix Sleepy Hollow Before It’s Too Late
Sleepy Hollow, Season 2, is driving me insane. If the damned show had been horrible from the beginning, I would have watched once and walked away. But Season 1 was flawed but fabulous; even the stuff that was stupid about it was so much fun, I couldn’t skip a single episode. So watching the peopleContinue reading “4 Ways to Fix Sleepy Hollow Before It’s Too Late”
