Barnes & Noble Don't Want Me

and others to read as planned at their Fisherman's Wharf store here in San Francisco this coming Saturday. The event is a fundraiser for a local high school. Their objection is because we haven't yet published books. Lauren Becker invited me to read, and is fighting the good fight on our behalf. Maybe B&N will cave, but I doubt it.

Speaking of Lauren Becker, I like her article, and the comments that follow, over at VIPs on VSF.

Another interesting Monday guest blog post over at Flashfiction.net today.

The wonderfully talented Kyle Hemmings introduced me to a new and interesting lit mag: fourpaperletters. I really like their aesthetics and the great work they publish. Congratulations, Laura Issacman, Editor. Submit!

I feel like there has been a bit of an "Ethel Explosion" of late. A lot of new work just published. The latest two are a short "Killed" over at Writers' Bloc (Rutgers), with Greg Gerke, Jim Harrington, Sherri Collins, and more. Another great job on this fifth issue, Kevin Dickinson. I also have a guest blog post today over at PANK. Thanks, Roxane. I'll leave it at that.

  1. That's just ridiculous. So, your published work isn't bound in a cardboard cover. Who cares? Bah. Good luck - hope they unbend.

  2. Thanks, Tanita. Ridiculous is such a great word to say, isn't it. I just love its feel and sound. Ridiculous indeed!

  3. Rohan rocks. And B & N will cave. Make them cave. I will make them cave. Let's make them a cave. Then you can sit in it and read. Or you can stand. I think you should stand. Go Team Rohan!

  5. Ah, Mel, you're the best. I could chain myself to their doors, make that kind of stand :-)

  7. Loved the potato post! Long live the potato. There's nothing quite like a HUGE serving of mashed potatoes: a little butter, milk, salt and pepper. They go great with everything!!!
