Opium has posted my flash piece  The Mandrake and it’s not so bad for a being a story about a scary little root! It was one of the 15 finalists in their book mark contest.

In other news…do you know who Sara Fran Wisby is? If you don’t you should because she’s a knockout poet–

I reviewed her latest book of poetry for Cherry Bleeds… What was that? You missed it, well you can visit The Small Desk Press blog and read my review, and Paul Corman-Roberts review as well, and then you can click on the link to buy her book–it’s a must read for 2010.

—-I’ll admit it, I like it when people say nice stuff about my work–so I wanted to shoot some like right back at Eric Beeny and his blog (Dead End on Progressive Ave)

And not just because he appreciates my take on Disneyland–he’s got a snazzy rendition of the Nativity in his  poem published right next to mine in the current online issue of Zygote In My Coffee

Anyway–

2009 I’m done with you–

I’m looking toward a new year, but can’t complain about the writing, the friends, and the good times--

I’m ready–2010 Bring it!

I have a newbi up on Zygote in My Coffee

A little flash coming along soon at Instant City

and the new Full of Crow is almost here—January 2010–

I’ll be back to announce the unveiling–

in the meantime–

let’s celebrate the bittersweet ending,

and the bristling beginnings–
