my newest book, Antisocial, from Outsider Writers Press.
Who I'd like to meet: Other writers, particularly poets, who are trying to get their work published. I believe we can help each other.
Also people who like to read the work of new/emerging writers. I am interested in receiving constructive critique of my writing, but constructive critique rarely begins with "this sucks..."

Sorry if I have a TWISTED sense of humor. This is an obnoxious attempt to get more blog subscribers. Basically just taking a break from writing my novel. Hope it interests you.
