  • Orlando

    Oh. hello there. The week after the shooting at the Pulse nightclub was a difficult one for many of us in Orlando. I tried to organize my thoughts in comic form, posted the images on Facebook, and then was deeply honored to have Green Mountains Review publish the final comic on their site. I often use…

  • Book Covers and Comics!

    A couple quick updates, from Nathan Holic the artist (as opposed to Nathan Holic the fiction writer, or even Nathan Holic the editor or Nathan Holic the sometimes-blogger)! Last Fall, I had the opportunity to teach a class called The Rhetoric of Comics. It was a blast, and I savored every second of it. I…

  • An Essay, and a Review

    Last week, The Orlandoan was gracious enough to publish a series of my essays analyzing the depiction of Orlando in three young adult novels. The essay was occasioned by the release of John Green’s Paper Towns (which takes place in Orlando). I haven’t seen the movie yet, so feel free to post comments about it…

  • Cincinnati Review

    It’s been a little while since I’ve posted, and I keep forgetting to post/update, but I figured: today is a good day for a blog post. If you haven’t already seen/read, The Cincinnati Review (and author Don Peteroy) did a great write-up of my new novella, The Things I Don’t See. Check it out here!…

  • Launch Week

    Here goes! So my new novella, The Things I Don’t See, has technically been “available” for a little over a month. If you pre-ordered, you should’ve received it in the mail by now. If you’ve seen me walking around town, you should’ve seen that I wear it around like a sandwich board. And if you’re…

  • We Creep Closer…

    As we creep closer to the release date for The Things I Don’t See, my new novella, it’s exciting to see that other people are, like, actually talking about the book. The first is the Orlando Weekly, our alternative newspaper here in town. They’ve been incredibly supportive of the work I’ve done with Burrow Press,…

  • The Things I Don’t See – Pre-Sale!

    Here is the posting I’ve been looking forward to sharing! My new novella, The Things I Don’t See, has an official page on the Main Street Rag Publishing Company’s online bookstore, and an official release date. In fact, you can even order it right now. It would actually be my suggestion (gentle, but still enthusiastic)…

  • The Writing Process Blog Tour – Continued

    A week or so ago, I posted my entry in the “My Writing Process” blog tour. I tagged three writers, John King, Mark Pursell, and Teege Braune, who continued the tour. For your easy reading pleasure, I have compiled the links to their blog posts here. Enjoy! Mark Pursell, at the Burrow Press Blog John…

  • My Writing Process: Blog Tour

      First, a word about the writer who nominated me for the blog tour. I’ve known Vanessa Blakeslee (blog here) for almost a decade now, which is a little bit insane to think about. (Side-note: can something be a “little bit insane”? I don’t know. Anyway.) Vanessa was finishing up her Masters degree at the…

  • Speech and Consequences

    For your afternoon reading, here in May, my final personal essay for my year-long stint on the UCF Forum (a group of eight faculty and students who wrote a syndicated column every week on an alternating basis). To read a little more about the UCF Forum itself, check out this article in the Central Florida…
