Robert Lopez & Quick Fiction
Thanks to the kindness of Robert Lopez, my 'no news' segment is up today on his blog. Check it out here.
Also, Sean Lovelace mentioned some really great things about the new issue of Quick Fiction, including a fantastic mention of my Zoo piece. I am humbled & grateful. Thanks Sean. Read it here.
& if you want to read more of THE ZOO, A GOING, before Dzance releases the full-length book in 2013, you can order a copy of the limited-edition chapbook THE TROPIC HOUSE from Sunnyoutside (release date 8.26, $12).
You want more of Gregory Sherl's THE OREGON TRAIL IS THE OREGON TRAIL? Okay
Have we mentioned that Mud Luscious Press is publishing this totally rad book THE OREGON TRAIL IS THE OREGON TRAIL by Gregory Sherl in 2012? We are, & it is.
Taste these:
'The Oregon Trail can play three chords on its Fender'
'The Oregon Trail is the Oregon Trail is bipolar'
'The Oregon Trail sold death without caskets'
'The Oregon Trail decides to make a movie'
Right? Right.
Gregory Sherl has some more OREGON TRAIL in the new decomP
As always the new issue of Jason Jordan's decomP is full of great words, but a particular bright spot in this issue is Gregory Sherl's 'the Oregon Trail is a romantic comedy', another small peek from his forthcoming 2012 Mud Luscious Press novel(la) THE OREGON TRAIL IS THE OREGON TRAIL.
& if you want a little more Sherl, any order from Mud Luscious Press will be accompanied by his three poem Oregon Trail pamphlet recently published by Greying Ghost (while supplies last). This is called a freebie. Get one with an order here.
Feast on the bits & pieces & look forward to the beast itself in 2012.
