The news doesn’t stop! Just like me – go go go!

I’ll be reading this Thursday night at Hugo House in Seattle as part of the “Cheap Wine and Poetry” series, a Ladies Night with some great local writers (including another Steel Toe author…) 7 PM. Be there, baby!

Thanks to Redheaded Stepchild for nominating my poem, “A True Princess Bruises,” for Best of the Net! Awesome! It’s kind of a little spin on the Princess and the Pea fairy tale…and belongs in the fairy-tale-body-image manuscript I’ve been working on, along with my robot scientist’s daughter manuscript…that’s right – two more manuscripts! I keep myself busy, right?

And, my very first piece of fiction, “How Not To Be A Robot Scientist’s Daughter,” is up at Fiction Southeast, along with champions of fiction like Joyce Carol Oates, Aimee Bender and Robert Olen Butler and fellow poet-fictionist Oliver de la Paz!
