Blog Now Available On Kindle

This blog is now available for Amazon's ebook reader, The Kindle. They charge a monthly subscription fee of $1.99 but apparently it beams the blog right to your Kindle. Why you wouldn't just read it for free online is beyond me, but if you're a Kindlemaniac and want to give me and Amazon some money, then that's fine with me. This past week, Blog Love Omega Glee has been published daily, a frequency that, barring catastrophe, I don't see changing until the novel's finished, so it should be a good deal at least until the end of the year. After that, it may be crickets for a time, but if that's the case, my conscience would probably cause me to pull it from Kindle, but you never know, I might get used to money coming in and become as prolific as Jack Saunders, or I might see how long someone will pay $1.99 a month for nothing. Perhaps, people might even pay me not to write! If so, get in touch. Let's negotiate!

My publisher just posted a sample of The Pornographic Flabbergasted Emus on Issuu. The zoom features are nifty but make me kind of dizzy.

"Cancer" Published Again!

A slightly revised version of my short story "Cancer" has been published in the 2009 issue of Inscape, the Ursuline College fine arts magazine. Inscape's not online alas, but you can read an earlier version of the story published on Underground Literary Adventures, a literary blog that Pat King and I once edited for the Underground Literary Alliance. The story is about a young girl who thinks she has cancer. As a guest speaker in a creative writing class, I used the story as an example of how to write fiction and Celeste Wiggins, the instructor, asked to publish it in Inscape.

San Francisco Sonnet

Last year I visited San Francisco for the first time. I liked the city but was stunned by the number of homeless people on the streets. I've never seen so many people begging and sleeping on the street, and I've been to many cities and seen this sad situation before; I've just never seen it on such a scale. The experience sparked a poem, "SanFran PanHand Sort-Of-Sonnet," which San Francisco zine Xploited has published in their new issue (#3 for those keeping track on their scorecards out there), which has a homeless theme. You can find the poem here.

Outsider Writers Has Excerpt of Blog Love Omega Glee Up!

The Outsider Writers Collective has two excerpts from my novel Blog Love Omega Glee up currently. I chose them using a random number generator out of the finished chapters at that time since I had trouble choosing them consciously. As Pat King, who posted the excerpts, noted, that was very surrealist of me, and sometimes I do enjoy being surreal. You can read the entire novel so far on this very blog too, of course.

Go Metric 22 Has An Excerpt of Blog Love Omega Glee

#22, the latest issue of Go Metric zine is out. As usual, editor Mike Faloon's done a nice job of collecting an assortment of popular cultural oddities for your reading pleasure. Read about Dick Cheney as a boy detective, why Iron Maiden rocks harder than emo and indie rockers, a dissection of The Wrestling Album, nutty cartoons, and a tasty hunk of literary fiction including the first five chapters of my Blog Love Omega Glee, marking the first time the novel has appeared publicly in printed form. About the only thing I didn't like about the issue was the analysis of Plastic Man and Mr. Fantastic, but that was only because I wanted to see The Elongated Man thrown into the discussion of stretchable superheroes as well!

Have A Cool Yule!
