“Pueblo Tourist” appeared in Red Eft Review on April 20, 2025.
Where have I been?
Still here. Still writing. But I’ve spent the last few years focusing on writing novels, editing them, workshopping them, submitting them, and reading the rejection letters (often with praise but still–no offers). While I attempt to garner up the courage to make some last-ditch efforts to send out the last two books, I’ve resumed writing poetry. There are no submissions to report yet, so no acceptances. But… perhaps soon.
