About me:
I'm currently finishing my first novel, "The Hunger Artist," and searching for a literary agent. I was awarded a creative fellowship grant from the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation that supported a residency at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA). One of my short stories was recently broadcast on the radio program "Writers in the Attic" on WECS 90.1FM, Connecticut. My short stories have appeared in the following literary journals:

PRINT: The South Carolina Review (poem), Connecticut Review, The Evansville Review, The Summerset Review, The Distillery, Licking River Review, South Dakota Review, Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature, Potomac Review, and The Story Garden.

ON-LINE: The Summerset Review, Small Spiral Notebook, Dead Mule, The Story Garden, Story Bytes, L'Intrigue.

Just wanted to let you (and your comment-reading friends) know that GUD Issue 1 is now available for purchase!



Issue 1 comes to life with Darby Larson's "Electroencephalography" where an experiment in robot-building goes terribly awry. And if you've ever woken up with an unexpected physical deformity—say, an arrow in your heart—you'll truly enjoy the next story. There's also a smattering of flash fiction and psychedelia; a straight-out story where things aren't what they seem, poetry that takes you from the perverse to the sublime, some magic realism, science fiction, and a few letters to another species thrown in for good measure. We haven't forgotten those of you with a literary bent. In addition, the artwork in this issue is particularly strong, with oil paintings, watercolors, photography, and photo illustrations complementing the words with which they are paired.

Thanks for being a friend!

Hey Jeff--Yeah it really is. The range of guests they've had on the forum is truly impressive.

Not to mention the members; many of them highly accomplished in their own right.

I'll make sure I post plenty of slanderous, invective filled commentary on my conference experience.
