Reading
I'll be reading at Rosemont College this Friday night, November 13 at 7pm in the Main Building, along with Benjamin Heins, Todd Stevens, Jess Bouchard, Nate Green, and the incomparable Sarah Rose Etter.
I don't know what I'm reading. Hit me with a suggestion.

Yeah
No excuse for the delay. My bad. Two stories coming soon in PANK and Burst Fiction. In the meantime, good essay by Roxane Gay, editor of PANK, about writing, publishing and race:

"Brother Baines is a two bit hustler, but one hand washes the other."
Soon.

A Playground Remembrance
Here's story two. It was written a long time ago and it's interesting to see how voice changes over time. This was when I was in full John Wideman knock-off mode.
Foundling Review is a cool site. Cool looking, too.

Full Sin Value
30 days or two stories on the same day, that's the new rule. Yep, just making it up as I go along.
Full Sin Value in Thieves Jargon. Their description is perfect. "Catholicism: the spiritual bargain hunter's religion of choice."

True
I'm trying to be true to my word. Here's a post within 30 days. Content:
Interview with Junot Diaz: http://laist.com/2008/04/10/laist_interview_134.php
Also, just sampled Mos Def's new album, The Ecstatic. Dope. It may be the first full length album I purchase in YEARS. I think it'll be good writing music.
I gots two stories on the way. "Quarter Year Interlude" in Pens on Fire. And, "Full Sin Value" in Thieves Jargon. Maybe I'll get Steven Seagal with it and just make every title a three word phrase . . . In any case, the stories are forthcoming.

Couple-Three Things
Here's a new piece due out in print soon entitled, Can I Get A Witness. You have to scroll a ways to page 32. A ways. But at least this way you don't have to buy the journal. Of course, if you want to buy the journal . . .
Link: http://www.farawayjournal.com/something-to-look-at/.
Another story, Readiness, is coming out in Weave Magazine (See 'Work Forthcoming In') in the next few weeks. This one will be in print only, so you'll have to pony up a little dough to read it. Or I suppose you could just ask me for a copy.
Finally, I'm taking my show on the road! I have two readings coming up. One on Sunday in Pittsburgh for Weave. The other is next Sunday, May 3, in Philadelphia, at the Manayunk Arts Center, 419 Green Lane, 6PM.
See you soon.

Able Motivators
Here's a newly published short short story. It's on a site called Tuesday Shorts. The first writer ever published on Tuesday Shorts also wrote the first "Oprah's Book Club" novel. I don't know.
Here's the link: www.tuesdayshorts.blogspot.com/2009/02/able-motivators.html
Here's the link: www.tuesdayshorts.blogspot.com/2009/02/able-motivators.html
The requirement for the site is that stories be 100 words or less. "Able Motivators" is exactly 100 words.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
