Ya’ll, I’m not even going to lie…. I’ve got zero cool right now. My debut chapbook is about to drop with Newington Blue Press in 2 – 3 weeks!!!
The title is Fuck It: An Explicit Chapbook (click the link to pre-order!) and it really describes the giant leap of faith I took last October. I’ve been writing stories since I was five years old, and poetry since my angst-ridden teenage years back in the 90’s. I never shared any of it with anyone because… as the name of this website implies … I always thought my work was total shit.
Last October I was going through some rough shit, and was writing a lot. At one point I – quite literally – said, “Fuck it. I’ll post this shit, and see if anyone digs it.” I have to say… I didn’t have a lot of hope. I figured my work was too raw, or too sarcastic, or too gross for anyone to like it. But, Lo! and Behold! There are other twisted motherfuckers out there, just like me, who prefer the real shit to the synthetic garbage that’s so popular with big house publishers.
I’ve got 100 followers here on this little WordPress site, and almost 100 over there on the Twitter. I’m just… fucking blown away, and so grateful for you all. So, I’ve got a little surprise coming for you all – just a little something to show my gratitude for all the love and support you’ve given me this last year, or so.
So… STAY TUNED!!
