Last month #chrisryanwrites and @BlackjackAD had me on #TellTheDamnStory. I was part of a panel where we spoke about how one's struggles can be used to better one's writing. You can view the episode at Thanks to them both for organizing madness. #podcast.

I shall be reading tomorrow evening somewhen after the sixth hour. What I shall be reading has still not been determined. Perhaps another story in the Insubstantials world? Or something creepy to go with crepes? Come experience the cool of the shade in your bones. #summer #horror.

Thanks to @urbanworksnyc for agreeing to have copies of Baer Soul, Cthulhu Sex #Magazine and Letters to the Editor of Cthulhu Sex Magazine on their front tables. Get yours now before they are consumed by the maddening throng. You may forget heat's tentacles. #summerbooks #horror.

Thanks to #chrisryanwrites for publishing two of my poems and two stories in the latest @SoulScream0330. Get it now at Just the thing for when the world is driving you buggy. Or the bright burny sky thing's intensity has you inside. #summerreads #horror.

Thanks to @IshwaJPW at #localgemspoetrypress for publishing my poem in Empire Poetry Verse, a collection of #NYpoets. A tome that presents diversity of dimensions, verses that veer towards the multiplicity and maddening meters. You can find it at #poetry.

Want to wander among different worlds without needing a portal. The works of @CrystalSkillman, #phoebekreutz or #michellecage may help. For alternative transportation @alisonmcbain, #satyaallen and @ainahunter. To explore dark mysteries seek out @JillDearman and @andreakleine.

Thanks to #riadilullo for bringing #mariachabot to life in the play inspired by her letters to #georgiaokeeffe played by #gaelschaefer. Georgia and The Butch is @TheTankNYC for another week. It's an enlightening look into the life these two women shared. #womenintheater.

This evening at some interval after 6pm, I shall be reading to celebrate this thing called love. Poems will frame a prose piece. Perhaps new or something more Cthulhu Sexy. I'll let the madness of the void decide. Bring your heart to the shade of the village. #horror #Valentines.
