Some fantastic news: on February 12 of next year, Dzanc Books will be publishing my new collection of short stories, Any Deadly Thing. February 12! That's both Darwin Day and Paul Bunyan Day! Not to mention Oglethorpe Day! And the feastday of St. Febronia! Highly auspicious, each and every one. My thanks to Dzanc publishers Steven Gillis and Dan Wickett, and especially to my editor and friend and comrade-in-pens Matt Bell.

So back a hundred years ago Tom Williams asked me a question about the future of fiction for a thing he was doing at American Book Review, and in my answer there was this preposterous little etymo-pun, or something. So then a hundred years later I took that whatever-it-was thing and gave it to a character who took it literally and the result just showed up (in the good company of Ha Jin and Heidi Julavits and John Wray and a bunch of other cool people) in a great magazine called The Literarian, published by the Center for Fiction and edited by Dawn Raffel.

Very proud to have a story in the latest issue of The Florida Review, alongside work by Laura Kasischke and Stefanie Freele, among lots of others.
