My short story, "Cowboys of My heart: The Six-DVD Box Set," is finally available to be read online in the Kenyon Review. This experimental story uses a non-linear narrative to explore the theme of love triangles + counterfactuals. Basically, it's a short-story that wants to be a DVD. If you're interested, you can check it out here:
4th Story Accepted up in 2008
Wow, inertia works in mysterious ways. I just found out one of my more experimental short stories "Cowboys of My Heart: the 6-DVD Boxset" just got accepted by The Kenyon Review, which, in case you didn't know, but of course you probably did, just happens to be one of the top 10 literary journals in America. Shit, that makes me really happy. Things are slowly happening for me as an emerging fiction writer, little by little.
I just have to keep at it. . .

Good Rejection from Harper's
I received a good rejection from Harper's today for my story Cowboys of My Heart: the 6-DVD Boxset. The form letter itself isn't anything big, but the handwritten P.S. makes me feel good about my life:
