  • 15 Views of Orlando – RELEASE PARTY!!!

    The above subject heading uses three total exclamation points, which–in the words of my old mentor Jeanne Leiby–is the lifetime total allowed to a writer. And man, I used them all at once. But the subject certainly calls for some exclamation points. If you didn’t know (i.e. you don’t ever talk to me, or you…

  • New Comic Adaptation

    This past year, I’ve been privileged to work with a number of excellent small-press authors, crafting comic adaptations of their short stories (and excerpts of their novels). I’ve already posted links to my adaptation of a scene from Lavinia Ludlow’s Alt.Punk and Steve Himmer’s The Bee-Loud Glade. So here is my adaptation of J. Bradley’s…

  • The Jeanne Leiby Chapbook

    In a few weeks, I’ll post a link to my own tribute/ memorial to my former mentor Jeanne Leiby (which will run on the Burrow Press blog), but in the meantime, I want to share some news about the award that has been established in her honor. Details follow below, and were lifted from the…

  • Blonde Bombshells Beheaded

    Greetings, world! Quick update: I’ve got a new short story up at The Molotov Cocktail. It’s called “The True Anxiety of a Blonde Not-Quite-Bombshell Who is Beheaded in a Throwaway Scene of Demonwarp.” And man, is it ever perfect to get you in the mood for Halloween season! (Sort of…maybe?) It’s part of a series…

  • alt.punk

    Today, I’m proud to share the short comic adaptation I created for Lavinia Ludlow’s claustrophobic, germophobic, punk rock wannabe-turned-insider odyssey alt.punk. I haven’t written much about alt.punk here on this blog, not because I’ve got nothing to say about it, but because I was the book’s editor and didn’t really feel it was appropriate for…

  • The Bee-Loud Glade: comic adaptation

    Labor Day Weekend is upon us, and I haven’t posted on my blog in awhile. To all of my hard-core fans (Mom, I’m speaking to you), I apologize. I know, I know. Everyone is waiting for a new Diet Coke Chronicles, and everyone is waiting for the next Epic Eminem Analysis, and everyone is waiting…

  • Writing Updates

    A couple quick updates on my writing life: My novel, Status Updates From the Traveling Role Model, was long-listed at Black Lawrence Press for their annual Big Moose Prize. Doesn’t count as publication, obviously, but it’s great to see–upon my first real submission–that I’m not completely crazy for dedicating so much of my life to…

  • Saranac Interview Posted

    The Saranac Review, where I published a short story called “Between Panels” (alternating between traditional text and illustrated comic page), has just posted an interview with the author (me). I’ve posted the link to their site on my “Links” page, which you can access above, or right here. I say some truly remarkable and brilliant…things.…
