Here's What's Going On
NEWS FLASH:
VoiceCatcher4 is out - just released and about to be distributed to local bookstores in the greater Portland/Vancouver area. This book is packed with exceptional writing (short prose and poetry) that will grab your attention. For several writers, this is their first publication and they deserve notice. I'm proud to be affiliated with the Editorial Collective and this year's book.
Four of my poems can be found online at www.outwardlink.net - a new literary site for poetry and creative writing.
I'm just about to run a second printing of my chapbook - Jesus Is A Gas, available for $5.
