I wrote a piece about a game I play with my children when we’re bored or waiting in line.

A huge thanks goes out to Aaron Burch at Hobart for publishing this little bastard of a piece.

Amber Sparks and I had the chance to talk recently about her third short story collection, And I Do Not Forgive You (Liveright). You can check out our interview over at Fiction Writers Review.

Come join me, Jose Antonio Rodriguez, Sarah Jefferis, and Sarah Pape in San Antonio, TX, on Saturday, March 7th, 2020, as we present “Round Characters: Writing Family in Creative Nonfiction.” The panel will run from 10:35-11:50am over in the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. For the full AWP (Association of Writers & Writing Programs) Conference Schedule, you can find it here.

Fiction Writers Review was excellent enough to run the interview I did with Kristen Arnett recently, in support of her debut novel’s release. You can check it out here!

Recently, I had the chance to speak with Jason Allen about his debut novel, THE EAST END (Park Row Books). You can find our discussions at Fiction Writers Review and The Rumpus, and you can buy Jason’s outstanding book here, here, and here.

A huge thanks goes out to Terry Kennedy, storySouth‘s editor-in-chief, for accepting a CNF piece I wrote about working in a psychiatric hospital.
