Process Excerpts from "An Accurate Record" Published in Copytext

Copytext is a new, unique, innovative online lit mag that focuses on the creative process by publishing earlier drafts alongside the final draft of a work, and I'm pleased to announce that excerpts of earlier drafts and the final draft of my story "An Accurate Record" have been published in the magazine's inaugural issue, along with a brief process statement about where the story came from and my process of revision. You can read the excerpts and process statement here (and you can read the full final draft of the story where it was first published in The Westchester Review here).

"The Line" Published in The Lemonwood Quarterly

My short story "The Line" has been published in The Lemonwood Quarterly, a new online literary journal. "The Line" is the latest of my packing plant stories to be published, and the last to be written. It takes a different point of view and approach than the other packing plant stories, and it is (for now) a sort of final word on the whole packing plant experience from my youth. You can read it and a generous handful of other stories here.

"Lazarus Man" Published in Stereo Stories

I've just had a new creative nonfiction story published by Stereo Stories, making this my third publication on that site. This one is about Terry Callier's song "Lazarus Man" and how it affected me upon first hearing it on a drive into work one night roughly 26 years ago. You can read it here.
