I will be giving a short poetry reading on Thursday at Te Cafe, 2000 Murray Avenue, Squirrel Hill, as part of the Pittsburgh Poetry Review’s roadshow for issue two. Charles W Brice and Stuart Sheppard will also be reading. The event starts at 7 pm.

My poem “Messengers,” a short poem from The Sign of the Dragon, has been accepted by Grievous Angel 🙂

My poem Inheritance has just appeared in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly 🙂 “Inheritance” is a poem with King Xau, and the dragon, and King Xau’s oldest son.

My poem “First Lesson” has been accepted by Silver Blade 🙂 “First Lesson” takes place 17 years into King Xau’s story.

My poem “Roasted Chicken” appeared online in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review. It’s a poem about cooking with Lucy.

My poem “Dragon,” in which King Xau meets the dragon for the second time, is in the latest issue of Dreams & Nightmares 🙂

I have had two more poems published in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review: Micha, which is a short King Xau poem that takes place soon after the end of “Crowned”, and Giants, which is a poem about my parents that was first published in the Atlanta Review.

My poem “Captain,” part of the King Xau saga, has been accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review 🙂 It may be my swiftest acceptance to date, the email reply flying back in under ten minutes!

My poem “Why the King Wept” has been published in Uppagus 🙂 This poem is part of a group about Xau helping out during a flood in a neighboring country. One of the poems about the flood itself, “Not Like This,” is due to appear in Apex Magazine in August, and a third poem from the group, Dread, appeared in December in Mirror Dance.

My poem “Widow” has been accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review. It is part of the epic fantasy, but about King Xau’s sister rather than King Xau.

My poem Interregnum has been reprinted in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review; this poem first appeared in Star*Line. (It’s the opening poem in The Sign of the Dragon, and as such is also in “Crowned”.)
