Ahoy, friends!
As Stiltsville makes its way through the publishing pipeline, honestly very little happens — but I have a few bits of news I wanted to share with my mailing list and visitors.
I have a piece of flash fiction (a one-page story) up now on SignificantObjects.com.
SO.com is a very cool organization — they have curators who purchase thrift-store and garage-sale finds, then get writers (beaucoup biggies included) to imbue the stories with significance. Then they auction object and story on EBay. Proceeds go to Girls Write Now, which supports creative, at-risk teens.
My story is about a couple of cute novelty pens. You can read it here on the SO.com site.
And you can bid on the pens — for a good cause, remember! — here on eBay.
So far, I have a few readings scheduled for the late summer/fall — mark your calendars if you’re in the area, because I’d love to see you there! You can get more info about events on the site’s Events page. Also, if you or your book club would like me to visit, please let me know, and I’ll rally HarperCollins to get me there.

An excerpt from the novel will be published in One Story in May. If you’re not familiar with this great lit mag, check it out. You can subscribe to the print edition, which guarantees a great short story in your inbox every three weeks, or get individual stories on the Kindle edition, which you can download from Amazon.com.
