Xirimiri, nominated for a Pushcart Prize!
Defying Gravity from Paycock Press is out, and it contains, along with an excerpt of my novel, some wonderfully eclectic stories from fellow DC scribes. You can read the excerpt here. If you're feeling magnanimous, please support your indie press and purchase the anthology.
Rookie League selected for reprint from Sport Literate in For the Love of Baseball, alongside notables such as George Plimpton, Frank DeFord and Yogi Berra (!) The anthology is now out.
My short story, Xirimiri, won the Alexander Patterson Cappon Prize for Fiction at New Letters.
2013 was a busy year. I had the honor of being the Catoctin Mountain Writer-in-Residence at a rustic cabin, writing, teaching and fending off one very brazen mouse. As part of the residency, I led a creative journeys workshop. It was great fun, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed working with all of the participants. I hope they took home as much as I did from the experience.
In the fall I spent two weeks at the Vermont Studio Center, in a studio with views of blazing fall foliage, a rushing river and the Vermont mountains. For company this time, no mice, but wildly inspirational, talented, and generous fellow writers and artists.
In April, the Huffington Post, of all places, picked up the weirdest story I have ever written, Hello Henry, about a spoiled youngster who meets his match, on and off the court.
On a February visit to Ireland I was asked to guest blog at the Irish Writers Centre in Dublin. It was a great honor, great fun all around, and a true privilege to meet and be welcomed into the circle of contemporary Irish writers. The posts are here:
This must be the place
Stayin' Alive in Durty Dublin

You, a short-short fiction piece, was published by Stone Highway Review in January.
