BARFODDER makes Bram Stoker Awards Preliminary Ballot
Here is the list of wonderful books and stories currently nominated for the 2009 Bram Stoker Awards Preliminary Ballot, courtesy of Dark Delicacies. Thanks to all the HWA Members who nominated BARFODDER: Poetry Written in Dark Bars and Questionable Cafes, and to those voting for it to get on the final ballot. I'm surprised and delighted - there are so many good poetry books out there (many of which are *also* nominated on the preliminary ballot, too).
Interview and Book Review at Black Glove
Though the photograph is old, there is a "Featured Poet" interview with me by Karen Newman up at Black Glove Magazine in the Stabbed In Stanzas section, followed by a book review of BARFODDER.

New Flash Fiction Story at Freezine for Fantasy and Science Fiction
I have a flash fiction story up at Freezine for Fantasy and Science Fiction called "Mau Bast," which hasn't been previously published, though it did take second place in one of the many WHC flash fiction contests (Ellen Datlow was a judge that year, I recall). Here is the direct link to Mau Bast, but make sure you check out the other stuff up. Johnny Strike (of CRIME fame) has a story there too.
