Can November be over now? What about now?

It's a good thing I've taken up meditation, because there are a lot of things this week that are harshing my zen. Some of them I can fix, some of them I can endure, some I can ignore. So I'm working on that, too.

But there will be good things, I believe, and in fact I'm going to bring some joy your way. I'll be participating in Rhonda Parrish's Giftmas Blog Tour this year, and if you follow along, you'll have the chance to win some cool prizes and meet some of my fellow authors. I'm working on my share of the posts now, and hopefully I can figure out how to work the magic links for you fine folks.

In the meantime, check out my poetry book, and the cool new anthology that's coming out soon:

Ruins Excavation, which includes my short story "Cover Her Ghost with a Feathered Cape"

The First Bite of the Apple, my Elgin Award-nominated poetry collection
