Four months, really? Where did all those days and weeks go? Please, if you know, let me know. Anyway...we are days away from AWP 2012...in Chicago. I think this will be awesome. I am going to be on a panel with a bunch of editors...we are talking graphic narrative and the lit journal. Should be a blast...if your in town come check us out. I will also be spending a bunch of time at the SWEET /USF  table. Stop by grab some SWEET and (em) swag...tell me how much you love my work...reinforce my fragile ego by telling me that you can't believe I don't have a three book deal with film options yet. You'd be surprised how much that pumps a writer up. After AWP there is the Gulf Coast Association's FAIRHOPE 2012 conference (March 30th & 31st.0 This is a pretty chill conference with some great writers. If you are in the area...you should come check it out. I have a couple of other things cooking....but I can't talk about that yet. I am mid-sememster of my first Graphic Novel Class, and I gotta say my students rock. Mark my words...if they keep working this hard...we will have a revolution in graphic narrative. Let's see,  I am also super busy working on finalizing a collection of short stories. and I'm neck deep in scripting and storyboarding a graphic lyric essay...frantically trying to be the first to publish a graphic abcderian essay. More later. Peace.

Don't forget to stop by if your in Chicago for AWP.

My Friends,

Sorry for the delay in posting. It's a crazy yet super exciting time right now with quite a few irons in the fire. I am working on two chap books with the team from Sweet Publications--check it out (www.sweetpublications.com). The two books are going to be published in limited edition print and in e-book formats available for Kindle, Nook, Sony, iPad, etc.

Also, on October 1st, I launched ĕm: A Review of Text and Image (www.em-review.com) with Daniele Pantano. This international literary journal is embracing today's technology. We will publish for all the e-readers and I-pad...as well as web.

Also, I am in the middle of the semester working with beginning writers--and I have to say, if they keep working as hard as they are now...all of us writers will have some pretty hefty competition in the next few years.

All that and I still need to get ready for AWP and Fairhope (www.gcacwt.com). Oh yeah, I gotta get back to writing.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading!

Welcome to my web home. I consider this site a work in progress and hope to update often. As far as this blog goes, I know I should write something entertaining a few times a week. I know it, but I'm not really sure I can keep up with it. So rather than promising and failing I will commit to trying. I will try to post fun things here as often as possible. I will try to post news when I have some.
