A 80's-themed reading? Wish granted.

6S2, Word Riot News, AWP/Chicago

What with the AWP circus being in Chicago this week, Pilcrow went out and represented last night at the Dzanc/OV/Keyhole soiree last night. Fabulous time of course.

Friend of Pilcrow, Six Sentences has news: The authors included in Six Sentences, Volume 2 anthology have just been announced, and a piece of mine is included, along with a few friends of Pilcrow: So New and Word Riot author David Gianatasio, Heather Leet, Shelly Rae Rich and Jason Jordan. Most excellent news. Catch that in March. And, apparently, word on the street anyway, is that there are more author names that'll be announced for special sections of the book, so that's fun.

Speaking of Word Riot, chatted recently with WR's Jackie Corley about World Takes by Timmy Waldron (out soon) and Midnight Picnic by Nick Antosca (out in days, but pre-order is up now). Eyes peeled for those.
