Click here to check out a review of my fiction chapbook Survival Notes by Marie Lecrivain, executive editor of poeticdiversity.  I definitely appreciate the positive words she has for my chapbook.

My first fiction chapbook, Survival Notes, is now available!  Survival Notes was the winning manuscript in the 2006 Cervena Barva Press Fiction Chapbook Prize, and it contains much of my best short fiction to date.  Much thanks to Gloria Mindock and Cervena Barva Press for making this chapbook a reality.

Most of the pieces in this chapbook have been contest winners and/or published in fine literary journals.  It's 42 pages of page-turning goodness for the nice price of 7 bucks (plus $3.00 shipping).  If you enjoy my writing, please buy a copy and support me and Cervena Barva Press.

This is a huge step for me in my writing career.  Because I started mainly writing poetry, I never imagined I'd have the chance to compose enough respectable prose to assemble a chapbook like this.  Since I truly look at myself as both a poet and fiction writer, this is an important milestone to me.

Survival Notes received its first review in the Boston Area Small Press and Poetry Scene Blog!

Many thanks to Doug Holder for reviewing my chapbook.  His review focuses mostly on the story that he found most interesting in the collection, Domestic Silence.  Quoting Mr. Holder's review, "In this story, an unfortunate neighbor to a loud and argumentative couple, tracks the jazz music the abusive male in this unfortunate coupling plays to mute the loud protests of his many domestic brawls."
