Happy to have my 100-word micro, 'The Carnival Ride Isn't Over,' published over at 100 Word Story today. Many thanks to the editors, especially Grant Faulkner and Michelle Ross.

Love this quote on “story” and “truth”from Rachel Cusk in her memoir Aftermath:

I’m honored to have received the 2023-2024 Early Career Award for Distinguished Teaching and Research at Trinity University.

Very sad to hear this news. For years I kept a voice message from her on my answering machine, refused to erase it. When it came to the short story form, she was quite simply the best. 💔

Always a nice surprise to get a new issue of American Short Fiction in the mail! Excited to read!

Best Microfiction 2024 (Best Microfiction) will be released on July 8th!

Pre-orders and copies can be purchased at best-microfiction.square.site/product/best_m…….

Many thanks again to megpokrass, Gary Fincke, and Grant Faulkner for the inclusion and also to Wigleaf for the nomination.

Right now you can read my full novella 'Like a Bomb Went Off' AlaskaQuarterlyReview with no paywall, along with great work by Andrew Porter and many more from the archives of this indispensable literary magazine!

Check it out!

I read the last story, “Antarctica,” first. 😱

Thrilled to see Jayne Anne Phillips, a writer I’ve admired since I first started writing, honored with The Pulitzer Prize in Fiction!

In case you missed it, this is a beautiful essay by Steve Edwards

I haven’t read this since I first read it in college, years ago, and somehow—maybe in all of my moves in my twenties—I lost my copy. Feels like a good time for a reread!

Had a blast talking with Scott Semegran on the Austin Liti Limits podcast! You can listen to the full episode here: austinlitilimits.com/episodes/episo…

You absolutely should! It’s a beautiful book! 👇
