Some Good News!

Yes, I'm on vacation, but I also have Internet access tonight. So, of course, I have to share some good news from today. You see, I received my contributor copy of Otoliths issue 5, part 1. To check out the issue online, go to http://the-otolith.blogspot.com and click on the Contents link. Good stuff.

For me, it was a real treat to be published in an Australian publication. Makes me feel all Internationale!

Also, I recently posted another poem on my Faulty Mindbomb project. This time from David LaBounty, who I've seen published more and more recently. Click here to check out his poem "Nails."

Okay, I think I might be leaving soon, and I'm pretty sure I won't have Internet access after tomorrow morning. ;)
