I’ve had two poems accepted at La Fenetre   The first is a rictameter called “Lazy” that I wrote one morning chastising myself (bet you can guess what for LoL).

The second poem, “Ms. Chong’s Room” is a poem for kids (complete with rhymes) about a teacher named Ms. Chong.  My daughter’s grade two teacher was named Ms. Chong, I helped out two mornings a week in her classroom all last year, and this year, though my daughter is in grade three I still help out in Ms. Chong’s room two mornings a week.  Is the title of a poem a coincidence?  I think not

Another piece of flash fiction a’la moi has found somewhere to call home.  “The Doll” is a very short, but powerful, story that is due to make an appearance in Burst Literary Ezine this fall.  Yay!  You’re going to love this one — honest.  I wish I could offer a sneak peek but for somewhat obvious reasons that’s not going to happen

Again the Giant Squid has blessed me with an acceptance   My uber-short piece, A Dozen Things, will be published at Poor Mojo’s Almanak sometime in the coming days — I’ll keep you up to date and post a link as soon as it goes live

My BDSM sonnet, “BondageWhore” has been accepted at Oysters and Chocolate Erotic — yay!  It’s due to be published in the May 2007 issue, so keep your eyes peeled, I’ll definitely be linking to it once it’s up

My short story, “There’s Always a Catch” has been accepted at Mount Zion Speculative Fiction — yay!  I’m very excited not only because it’s another awesome publication credit in a great magazine but because part of my payment is a contributor’s copy, and I wanted to read the magazine anyway

Yes, I really am that easy to please.

I’m not sure when it’s due to be published, but to say that I’m happy would be a serious understatement.

“Big Bear” is a flash story I wrote based on my time working as a bartender in little village called Milo.  I worked as a bartender there for a few years (three I think) and in that time I gathered enough material to create boat-loads of incredible characters.

Right now I’m pretty stoked about the story because it’s been accepted for publication at T-Zero which is a paying market *cheers* Rumor is the story will be in the May issue — I’ll keep you updated for sure.

My poem, Sandcastle #5, has been accepted for publication in the Summer issue of SHINE.  This is the second time this haiku will have been published, which, as you can imagine, makes me very happy

I’ll link directly to the poem when it goes live in June

My poem, Vampiric Fluff, has been accepted at Static Movement   I’m not sure when it will be published because they have an automated system for submissions, so I’ve not actually spoken to anyone directly yet.  Yay!  There is something really awesome about having a story or poem reprinted — it’s very satisfying to know that someone likes it well enough they don’t mind that they aren’t the first person to publish it

I wrote a flash piece titled ‘Whatcha Gonna Do?’ that when it was read by a friend was described as “…a biting commentary on modern parenting…”. I was very happy with it, and am even more so now that it’s been accepted for the Summer issue of  Skyline Magazine

I just heard back from Mr. Boven at Twenty3 Magazine regarding which poems of mine he’s accepted.  One of my poems about the genocide in Rwanda, ‘And the Machete Falls’ was accepted and another, far lighter, rictameter entitled ‘Coffee’ is also potentially going to be printed as well, to “bring in a lighter side to your page as well”.  To my page — how sexy is that?  I’m so excited!

My Rwandan inspired poetry is some of my best work in my opinion and is definitely the poetry I am the proudest of, and the happiest to see find an audience.

And I get a page!

Dude — instant win
