Got me some ARC action for my new novel DYSPHORIA. It’ll be dropping on April 30 from Cowboy Jamboree Press.

FRIDAY BLACK Goodreads rating, review

Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This would have been a five-star rating if Saunders as an influence wasn't so obvious. Still, good stories, but you couldn't put Saunders name on the cover and I might not have noticed anything was up. It'll be good to see what he does once he sheds those grad school habits and author-love.

Cool quote from BLACK FRIDAY by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

There's a lot to love about Black Friday. But I will say that it's really easy to see the influence of George Saunders on Adjei-Brenyah's stories. It'll be interesting to see where he goes once that influence wears off. In the meantime, I really liked this insightful moment from the book:

"I think having had money, and then having lost it, and had it again, and lost it some more, some older people kind of just say, Screw it, I’m going to smile."

I've got a new story at the fantastic Anti-Heroin Chic

I'm late to this one, but I had a story published March 1 at the always interesting Anti-Heroin Chic. The story's called "Here Are Your Heroines" and it was a fun one despite the seriousness of the subject matter. As always, I'm incredibly grateful to James Diaz for accepting this piece.

Susan Choi is interesting.
