With a peaceful (sometimes arduous and sad) 2017 behind me, I’ve been able to regroup and begin new material. Last year, I had plans to do a lot, but life got in the way and told me to relax, and so who am I to question the universe? Now in 2018, I have been able to submit more work, which is nice. Here’s to all good things on the horizon. More of my work should be available this year (fingers crossed to the gatekeepers that be!).
Sometimes writers just need a break, and I had mine. It was nice to not worry so much about writing and to just live my life. I feel like I am in a good place to resume my creative works, so here goes nothing!
With so much in flux this year, writing is more important than ever. I’ve given myself many goals, and they must be met. Like many writers, I hope to be proactive and productive this year–so maybe I need to chill out on the video games 🙂
Best of luck this year, fellow writers. See you in DC for AWP.

Hello everyone! I am very excited to present the book jacket for Blood Eagle! Keep in mind that this is subject to change, but everything is looking great! Many thanks to Nick Courtright from Gold Wake Press, who is awesome in case you didn’t know. Blood Eagle is due out just in time for AWP (near the end of March).
My first full-length poetry manuscript, Blood Eagle, will be published by Gold Wake Press! I am beyond excited and have been tinkering with it to make it the best book I possibly can. More to come soon. Be ready!
If all goes as planned, I will be at AWP in 2015. Bring on the book fair and awesome offsite readings!
Be sure to contact me on Facebook or Twitter. If I have money, then I may or may not buy you a beer.
Between Black Lawrence Press, Gold Line Press, iO Poetry, and Alice James Books, I have been a semi-finalist in book and chapbook competitions a total of 5 times. While I am extremely grateful for being a semi-finalist, it is admittedly bittersweet to come so close and not win. But as my friend and mentor Richard Greenfield told me when I asked what to do next, I must keep sending the manuscripts out! I believe it’s only a matter of time and revision…
…BLP has to be tired of me by now!
I find myself hording unpublished books and chapbooks. I don’t wait for my collections to be published before I write new material, and now I am finding that my “books” are accruing in my Dropbox account. They nag at me, asking to be free from the confines of my computer/mind.
