A lit mag I love has rejected so many consecutive submissions that I'm in danger of getting red-cheeked. Can't have that, so I'm sending sourdough recipes, bowling scores, a CRA audit from '87... stuff they HAVE to reject. See? Eh? So when I start sending stories again, hoo-babbee!

It’s like a shy kid on Halloween, transformed. Or the quiet nurd who puts on goalie gear and turns into the Effin Hulk at beer league game. Strap on the tactical couture, pull on the mask, and darkness rules.
Forthcoming: Grateful to Managing Editor Eric R. Tucker for including my poem “Limitless June Mornings” in the 2026 edition of The Corpus Callosum (March). This year’s theme is Dreams & Nightmares.
