The entire summer issue of the Indiana Review has been reviewed here at New Pages. I’m happy to read that somebody made it all the way to the end of something I wrote.
More Good News
1. The Indiana Review notified me that they are going to be publishing my story, “Come Go With Me,” after it won runner-up in their 2014 fiction contest. I’ve been following that journal and submitting to them for years, so there’s lots of celebration going on around here about that.
2. My flash story, “The Last Attempt,” appears here in the 30th anniversary issue of Oxford Magazine (Oxmag) with some terrific writers, like David Ebenbach, Bret Anthony Johnston, and Michael Czyzniejewski. Woot. The story is based a little bit on my dog, Woody, so here’s one of my favorite pictures of him for you to enjoy:
Good news.
My story, “Come Go With Me,” won second place, or runner-up, in the 2014 Indiana Review Fiction Contest. Roxane Gay (author of the essay collection Bad Feminist and the novel, An Untamed State) judged. I’m still to hear whether or not the IR will publish the story.
