I have a few updates to catch up on.  First is that I’ve had a story accepted for an upcoming anthology about claw machines!  The Kickstarter will be launching early next year.  You can sign up for updates now if you’d like to keep tabs on this project. 

I (along with many, many other authors) have a microfiction story in 42 Stories Anthology Presents: Book of 42².  As you may have guessed, each story is exactly 42 words long.  My story, “Gallows Humor (Upon Finding Jimbo’s Body),” is part of the Clown chapter and features two circus clowns who encounter the work of a coulrophobic killer. 

On the poetry side of things, I’m excited to have some more video game poetry publications on the horizon.  The Broken City will publish two new poems of mine in their gaming-themed issue, and I’ll have a reprint in the anthology Dangerous to Go Alone 2 as well as one in Meow Meow Pow Pow. 

I had a new fantasy poem in issue 47.4 of Star*Line called “Gla-Mer: The Fashion Magazine for Mermaids.”  This one had its origins in a little booklet of stapled-together scrap paper I’d made in grade school—I probably still have it somewhere in my attic.  Anyway, for this new poem I was reminiscing about that booklet, then I started having fun with headlines, and finally my adult lens took it in a more serious direction.
