A busy and rewarding semester teaching at Texas A&M University. Some wonderful papers, stories, poems, scripts, theatrical and puppet performances emerged from students.
In addition, I was lucky enough to have some stories and articles see publication within the space of several months.
My story “Echolocation” is available in the Arroyo Literary Review Print Issue 8 Spring 2016: https://arroyoliteraryreview.com/
You’ll find “Shadows of the Past in the Sunshine State”–a folklore fieldwork study of ghost legends and ghost tourism in St. Augustine, FL in Western Folklore . Summer/Fall2015, Vol. 74 Issue 3/4, p309-342. 34p. Available here: http://www.westernfolklore.org/WFVol74No3&4.html
I’ve worked on “The Handle” the last couple of years, and it will be published later this summer and reached Runner Up status in Psychopomp Magazine‘s Short Fiction contest for 2016: https://psychopompmag.com/contests/2016-psychopomp-magazine-short-fiction-award/
Most recently the online open source journal Humanities published my article, “We All Live in Fabletown: Bill Willingham’s Fables—A Fairy-Tale Epic for the 21st Century” for the special issue Fairy Tale and its Uses in Contemporary New Media and Popular Culture–Academic Editor: Claudia Schwabe

Hope everyone’s 2016 is shaping up nicely. One item to wrap-up this previous year: had a short story submission (“Girl in the Trunk”) receive an Honorable Mention for the 40th New Millennium Award

Also had some good news that Western Folklore will be publishing an article I wrote and the Arroyo Literary Review will include one of my short stories in their next issue for 2016.

1. This interview relates partly to the publication a couple months ago, “What the Storm Brought.”

2. Another story that Midwestern Gothic published of mine, “Fridge Monitor” was recently a Finalist (top 15) for the Mark Twain Royal Nonesuch humor contest. Wish there were more such contests–that episode btw of HuckleBerry Finn with the Duke & the Dauphin was indeed quite a riot.

This story is partly based on the historical tornado that hit a relative and her family in Belleville, OH on May 10th, 1973. There’s all sorts of great poetry and fiction in this summer issue of Midwestern Gothic Issue 18 (Summer 2015).

Check out the recent Vietnam issue of Masque & Spectacle. My story “Ridden” appears there, and the entire issue has a compelling assortment of poetry, prose, video, artwork, and musical performance.
