NEWS, READS, PUBLISHED AND MORE
I got my copy of SOUTHWORD with my story in it and was tickled to find it labelled - New Writing from Ireland. Lovely story by Colm Toibin in it. Go and buy and read. Lovely collection.
There is also Sleeping Fish with lots of wonderful work with writers Doug Martin, Kim Chinquee, Cooper Esteban/Renner, Liesl Jobson and more. What a lovely website.
In other news, two of my stories are now online at Gambara. Three other will complete a kind of folio in the printed collection of fiction which is come out around March 2007.
Looking forward to: One of my stories coming out in The Mississipi Review Prose Poem Issue this fall. Kim Chinquee also has some work in there.
Towards the end of last week, I was trolling through a google of my name looking for urls to online work and lo and behold, I discovered that I was a finalist in the The William Faulkner Awards for the Novel 2006.
Since I have been blessed with manna recently by my Josephine Ulrick Award win, I thought this was a marvellous opportunity to go travelling to the Words and Music Festival in New Orleans. I will be catching up with fellow writers (oh what a joy) and doing readings in New York, Boston and other places. Have to tune up the speaking voice! In the meantime, I am perusing maps of the United States.
Must Read List:
Utahna Faith's SISTER in Salome
Hmm... where are all my must-reads! I'll come back later and post more.
