Milwaukee! May 30th! A launch for an anthology set in the world of a new game by Anvil 8 Games. My story is about a strong-headed young man who loves his toy collection. His in-laws assert he is too old for toys, so they demand he sell them. Hilarity ensues! Magic! Come see us May 30th!

There are 18 nominees in the Poetry Full-Length Book category for the Georgia Author of the Year awards, and Hail My Attention Kindly, my most recent book published last year by @salmonpoetry.bsky.social , is one of them! It's rubbing shoulders with some pretty cool books by some pretty cool poets.

Current fiction read.

No other writer helps me understand the pathos and absurdity of living in a small town better than Richard Russo.
