UPDATE: My review of Nadifa Mohamed’s novel Black Mamba Boy has been scheduled for the Summer 2011 issue of Prairie Schooner! This will be my second published review with PS.

It sounds like Flatmancrooked will be running my story “The Housekeeper” in their web journal next Wednesday, January 19.The story will also be featured in their upcoming print fiction anthology, Flatmancrooked 4, which is currently at the printers and should be hitting mailboxes before winter ends.

The first half of 2011 is shaping up nicely. My story “How to Die Young in a Nebraska Winter” will be in the spring issue of The Kenyon Review, in the next couple months I’d wager–no matter what Unadilla Bill has to say–and “The Current State of the Universe” will be published by The Cincinnati Review in May.

LitPop + Montreal Pop+ Twheele = Street Cred?

A story of mine has been short-listed for Matrix Magazine’s LitPop Fiction Contest!

Wish me luck. The winner receives round-trip travel to Montreal, a stay at a bed-and-breakfast, honorarium, publication, a reception, and VIP pass to the Pop Montreal Festival.  All of this is pretty exciting and I’m thrilled to be up for final consideration. There’s something about free travel being included in a prize that really gets me going–and returning to Montreal would be that much more special.

This is the fifth time I’ve been short-listed for a short story contest, with a previous win of Boulevard’s Short Fiction Contest for Emerging Writers.
