A Long Absence

Things have gotten complicated... FaceBook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, etcetera, etcetera. Truth be told, the only social media I engage with is FaceBook, and even then, it's not uncommon for several weeks go by without a new post from me. I just barely have a functioning LinkedIn presence and, while I have accounts with Pinterest and Flickr, months go by before I even think about logging in. Sort of like my blog, here. I meant to stay current, to add quick entries as things happened (and things DID happen on the publishing front), but it's been a year since my last post, so it clearly didn't go as intended. Okay, confession over.

Publishing news:

Two photos of mine "Keeler - Population 50" and " Chive Seed Pods in Yellow-Violet" appeared in the Summer 2015 issue of Apeiron Review. I was really thrilled to get the news! You can view them here: link, pages 59 and 66, respectively.

My short story "Prison-Orange Bandolinos" appeared in the Spring 2015 issue of r.kv.r.y. quarterly literary journal. You can read it here: story link. I love this journal and really admire the editor-in-chief, Mary Akers for lots of reasons, not the least of which is her writing. I feel honored to be included.

I won't make any promises about frequent posts, long absences, or summer being right around the corner. But I can say that I've recently dusted off my camera again, so I'm taking that as a good sign.

Metallic Sunrise & Juluchuca Homestead

I'm enormously pleased to share that two of my photos appear in Marathon Literary Review's latest issue. Metallic Sunrise is here. Juluchuca Homestead is here. These were both taken during a trip to Mexico in February 2013. The scenery was beautiful and the locals were welcoming and kind enough to let us catch a glimpse of their day-to-day life.

Two Acceptances

I'm very pleased to report that I have not one, but two (!), acceptances to share - one in fiction and one in photography. My short story "Prison-Orange Bandolinos" has been accepted by Rkvry Literary Journal. Two photos - "Juluchuca Homestead" and "Metallic Sunrise" - have been accepted by Marathon Literary Review. I'm super excited!
