The Dream People Hand You a Cookie

The latest issue of the bizarro journal, The Dream People, includes my story, "The Fortune Cookie," excerpted from The Gorelets Omnibus. You may have seen this before, but go check out The Dream People anyway, because it's got some good features this issue, including a focus on my Master's thesis advisor from way back when, the inimitable Lance Olsen (who I recently learned won a Guggenheim Fellowship...way to go, Lance!).

Sick Alternative Cover Art Concept for The Gorelets Omnibus!

I just shared this photo, "Dismembered Handheld Computing," over on my flickr gallery... it's one of the original cover concepts I shared with the publisher during the production stages of my latest book, The Gorelets Omnibus. Head on over to flickr to read more about the backstory, if you're not already running for the bathroom with a hand clamped over your mouth... The art is sort of an inside joke about the 'gorelets' poetry. Visit gorelets.com to learn more about this project and my weird work.

The Gorelets Omnibus for Kindle and More on Amazon.com

This feels like coming full circle. Just so you're aware: the Kindle edition is an electronic adaptation of the paperback edition. Remember that the Hardcover is substantially expanded, with bonus poetry galore and it…

A note of thanks to all who pre-ordered my next book — and a glimpse at the jacket…

Just a quick note of thanks to all who pre-ordered The Gorelets Omnibus directly from the publisher. Soon you'll have a smooth clean first-on-the-block book in your hands along with a collectible all-original poem on fancy paper for your kindness.  Oh, and lots of embarrassingly outrageous exclamations in public when you're not otherwise dry heaving.  Enjoy! I think this weekend was the deadline to pre-order, but so long as those buttons on their website allow you to preorder, you still might qualify for the free extra during the grace period if you're quick.  If you didn't preorder, don't be shy: …
