Fearsome Fables 2!

Fearsome Fables IIThis announcement is a bit late, but I’m so proud to be making it! The second annual edition of Fearsome Fables (an anthology of spooky comics, stories, and poems for ages 10+) is available online in both digital ($10) and physical ($20) formats.

Once again, a bunch of my very talented friends are featured within its pages, so I definitely recommend that you grab a copy. You can also feel good about the purchase because net proceeds go to the charity Free the Children.

I’d like to thank Peter Chiykowski and Jay Paulin for inviting me back for another volume, but a HUGE thank you goes to Kala Hirtle, the devilishly talented illustrator of the comic I wrote: “Mistaken Identity”. You’re the best Kala! Also, check out Kelly Lynch’s work in the volume. She was the illustrator for the first charity anthology (What the Wild Things Read) that Jay’s Ink’d Well Comics produced. You can still get that anthology and the original Fearsome Fables too.


Wisdom Crieth Without Publication

Wisdom Crieth Without, Issue 10

I have another publication to announce! My villanelle about Adam leaving Eden has been published in Wisdom Crieth Without, Issue 10. It’s an online journal, which means that you can read the poem for free here!

Wisdom Crieth Without is a journal for traditional literary arts, so it’s a great venue for my villanelle. This is the poetic form of Dylan Thomas’ famous poem “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night.” It uses only two rhymes and two of the full lines repeat throughout the poem. I have tried to play with the punctuation of the repeated lines to make their meaning slightly different each time. I hope you enjoy it.

Please read the rest of the journal too and admire the fine artwork that accompanies each piece of fiction and poetry.


Spellbound Publication

June 1st has been a good day thus far! My poem in Cordite came out yesterday (June 1st in Australia), and today my poem “A Dragon’s Love” was published in Spellbound! Spellbound is a fantasy e-zine for children, and it always has amazing themes. This time, it’s dragons! If you’re a teacher, you’ll also enjoy the lesson plan that Spellbound offers for free with each of its issues. Such a great concept! The ePub is $5 here.


Cordite Publication

A poem about Los Angeles written by a Canadian published in Australia. It’s online for your free viewing pleasure here. Please check out the other poems in the issue as well. Cordite is a journal primarily for Australian poets, but sometimes they accept international submissions too. Oi! Oi! Oi!


Vallum Publication

Vallum Magazine, out of Montreal, has published one of my poems in its issue on Magic! This is my first time being published in a professionally paying journal — and what a journal it is! That cover art is damn fantastic. You can subscribe to Vallum, preview the journal, or get a digital copy here.
