shameless self-promotion

This month we have a new issue of Fuckit, featuring my story, “And the Forest Sings of Secrets and the Dead.” This one’s a fun one. The theme for this issue is “How to Counter a Culture,” and I have always been weirdly fascinated with Puritans. Like many a young American lass, I went throughContinue reading “shameless self-promotion”

well that was fast

I’m working on edits for A Thing, so I didn’t think I’d get to blog this morning, but here we are! I have some screwing around to do, but I’d planned that for tomorrow, when I can dig in without getting interrupted by going to work. That said, I also have no Deep Thoughts todayContinue reading “well that was fast”

… wait … things look different …

So I have created an author website out of the blog and the links and all the other stuff I had laying around here, and now I wait to see if what I have created is so abhorrent that I flee in fear like a Victorian scientist who really shouldn’t have been grave robbing ifContinue reading “… wait … things look different …”

Shameless Self-Promotion!

Fuckit #10 (The Burnout is Real) is out and includes a short story by me, called “Two Old Ladies In a School Gym Lockup,” which title made the lovely husband look at me with That Look and say, “You’re pretty proud of that one, aren’t you?” Indeed, I am. Featuring a Glee reference and cameoContinue reading “Shameless Self-Promotion!”

Shameless self-promotion!

Fuckit vol 9, “Actual Fucking Things” is out, and for this one I made some visual art. I do not know why this one felt like the end of something, but it did. (It’s not; I have made a promise to myself to submit to this ‘zine every issue unless something catastrophic happens, and sinceContinue reading “Shameless self-promotion!”

It’s that time again! Issue # 8 of FUCKIT is out, and this issue includes a Teachout story for your reading pleasure! “The Bloodhound’s Sister Meets the Void” is a bit weird. For one, it’s Gwen’s POV, which rarely happens (these stories are very much about both girls, but the POV is tight 3rd toContinue reading “shameless self-promotion”

Quarantine blogging: squirrel brain

Squirrel brain this evening; no focus at all. Yeah, just lost the thread of what I was going to say two seconds ago, yay. Finished a draft today! The manuscript is a literal mess—part typed into Scrivener, part into Google docs, part handwritten between two notebooks, and the ending typed into Word. This is dueContinue reading “Quarantine blogging: squirrel brain”

New Story!

From the same gang of angry people who brought you The Cassandra Project, check out Fuckit: a ‘zine! Issue 1, “Welcome to Hellvetica,” includes poetry by AX, an essay by Alexis Siemon, a review of Rocketman, and Karen Sorenson ragging on John Mayer “because really, fuck that guy.” Oh, and a story by me:  “ThereContinue reading “New Story!”

Shameless Self-Promotion!

 “The Idaho Ghost Job” is up at Translunar Travelers Lounge.  (It came out yesterday, but this has been a craaazy week at work, so I am posting to the blog a day late.) It’s a Teachout story–a fun one!  Low-angst!–that makes my husband laugh. This one came about because I was listening to a podcastContinue reading “Shameless Self-Promotion!”
