So an update:

The digital copy of my book has already been debuted!  This week has been crazy with organizing and funeral arrangements for Darren, or else I would have posted this up sooner:

Finding Highways in Cracked Coffee Cups

The print copy is being carefully handled by the USPS and on it’s way to me so that my mom can get her print copies, I can get my few I requested for my granny and some of my aunts, and then 20 copies can go to Gatsby Books for everyone else to fight over.

Since it’s release I’ve been floating around on Amazon’s top 5 Hot New Releases in American Poetry page with the likes of Mark Strand, and Leonard Cohen.  Pretty good company to keep.

I will be sure to keep up to date with any information regarding print sales and reading/signing information.  It sounds like I’ll be reading along with the other Long Beach authors that were published by Loyal Stone Press’ new literary journal “Prospective: A Journal of Speculative Fiction.”  Should be good stuff – and I’ll be debuting some new poems, a good old poem, and possible hints towards my working memoir.

BOOK: 8 days and counting.

Yes, the countdown for my finished draft of my book has begun.

For now it is a chapbook, but we’ll see where it leads.  About 20 poems, all around my favorite theme.

 

Tom Waits.

 

Thank you to Lauren Stone for working on editing and publishing for me.  She’s fucking badass.  Everyone should hope to be published by someone as amazing as her.

 

And as for me. . .   I’ll be listening to Waits nonstop for the next eight days.  If I’m not insane by the end of this process – I didn’t do it right.
