Elephants!


I was asked (in the corporate sense of the word) to work 16 hours overtime this week and possibly next week (job #1).

Meanwhile, here's some really great news: My first fiction chapbook comes out Thursday. Yes, DON'T TEASE THE ELEPHANTS will soon live (in ink and paper)! Mad thanks to Nate Jordon and Monkey Puzzle Press. This small book will be a compilation of 5 of my favorite stories, 2 of which star Rattle. I'll post more soon.

Have a beautiful week!
