It’s late. Or early. I am finally writing a book and it has a plot and a story and everything. I haven’t written anything longer than a few thousand words for a few years so this is going to be something of an adventure.

My first piece of fiction for 2012 is Woe Lung, an unsettling (I hope) story about isolation and agoraphobia. It has been published in fwriction : review, a fantastic journal that has featured some truly exceptional writers.

Issue 3 of Fractured West, The Pull of Distance, is out now, and I have a little piece included. Very excited to share print with some other great writers and very fine writing.

My new prose poem/flash fiction piece Siren’s Song is now up at Pipe Dream. Yet another story that shares its name with a song by The Cure, although draws its inspiration from This Mortal Coil. This picture is The Fisherman and The Siren by Knut Ekwall, by the way.

My story Crank House is included in the new issue of >kill author, another piece of delusional prose about my fear of hospitals, in this case the growing sense of paranoia and dread that comes with watching a hospital grow.
