Upcoming Pubs

It's a bit early for the announcement, but my Tobias Wolff Award-nominated short story The Love Life of Tigers will be appearing in the Spring '09 issue of the Bellingham Review. I'm thrilled because BR is a great journal, and The Love Life of Tigers is the fastest short story I've ever written. Six months ago I woke up from a dream, sat at my laptop, and recorded the dream events before they faded. I should outsource to my subconscious more often.

In other way-too-early-to-be-mentioning-it publication news, I'm writing a long piece on the work of horror maestro John Carpenter, for the film mag Penny Blood. For years I've wanted to write something on Carpenter, but the timing never worked. Now it does. Look for the article sometime in the fall of this year. I'll keep you posted.
