   About Laura Cushing

Who the hell is Laura Cushing?
I’m a music correspondent for Gather.com - check out my weekly column, Soundtracking, published every Tuesday!

I’m a band lackey! I ghostwrite newsletters, promote, maintain myspaces facebooks and websites, and do active friending and fanbase management for bands. We have worked with Rilo Kiley, The Elected, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Ozma, and Interpol If you are interested in hiring us - please contact me for a price quote.

I’m a poet - you can listen to me reading some of my poetry here, if that’s your thing. You might even like it. I post some of my poems on my blog here, so have a look.

I’m a short story writer and novelist! My short stories have been published in the Santa Clara Review, Life for Change, It Takes All Kinds, and other lit mags and ’zines. I have an unpublished novel that I’m working on finding a publisher for - and a couple of novels in the works.

So I’m from NJ, and I live in a pine forest. I’m the author of these two chapbooks called Roadside Stands and Staying Golden. I’ve featured at the Mid-Atlantic Spoken Word Festival, and at some other venues you most likely haven’t heard of unless you’re a poet and/or resident of NJ. I haven’t been performing as much lately due to a series of unfortunate car accidents, but I’m trying to get back into it. I am available to do feature readings/performances in the NJ / Philly /NYC area - contact me if you’re interested in booking me for a show.

I talk. A lot. So if you want to talk to me, send a message. I’m friendly.

I also do a good deal of non-fiction writing - newsletters, articles, website content and the like.

One of my short stories, Mudo, was published in the Santa Clara Review. Another, California People, won the Life For Change short story contest. You can read these and and other Michael-stories up on my story myspace.

Music composed especially for the poetry thanks to the amazing Prosolar Mechanic

You can hear some of my poetry on the Homegrown Podcast (programme 4).


More about me:
Things I get asked about a lot...

I’m a mother of three teenagers! Yes, that does make me kinda crazy sometimes. My daughters are 17 (twins) and my son is 15. I’m married to my soulmate, Aus, who does amazing computer-type things and is an all around amazing guy.

When I look out my front door, I see trees. When I look out my back door, trees. Out the windows? Well, yeah.. trees. We have a lot of squirrels and birds out there, and less frequently deer, groundhogs, chipmunks, turtles, lizards, snakes, and bunnies. The trees are pines, oaks, maples, hollies- all sorts of things. Primarly pines though, hence the pine barrens. The soil is all sandy here.

Other than writing, I like singing, reading, crochet, walking in nature, playing games, rpg games, and talking to people.

My actual blog/journal that I write in on a nearly daily basis can be found on Live Journal - my LJ blog

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

It is good to have such beautiful friends.
A gift.
A poem I wrote.

Shadows in the dancing lamplight flicker
Dawns silken sublime sister
Come inside my robe
Golden empires holy slaughter
Bleeding hand of the prophets daughter
Leave me to the soft arms of the night
Saints have found a better way
So the tattoed angels say
Come inside my long dark robe
Farewell my sun crowned hoping bride
And down he fell upon her dusky thigh
Closed within the soft arms of the night

Evan K. Duke III

Hi there!

Zibbet has just launched a HUGE Referral Program. For more info, visit: www.zibbet.com/referrals. Zibbet is a brand new Handmade venue and we would LOVE to have you on board!

We have 3 unique Referral Programs:

1. Refer a Buyer to your shop and you’ll receive a 2.5% reduction in your commission. Therefore, you’ll pay 5% instead of 7.5%.

BUT HERE’S THE BEST BIT…

You’ll also earn 2.5% of any other purchase that the buyer makes on the site…FOREVER!

2. Refer a Buyer to Zibbet (i.e. not your shop) and you’ll earn 2.5% of whatever purchases they make on the site…FOREVER!

3. Refer a new Seller to Zibbet and you’ll earn 2.5% of whatever that Seller sells…FOREVER!

If you have any questions, feel free to comment back, or send us a message! :)
