Scary Fairy Tale

May is off to an awesome start.  I'm really excited that Queer Mojo Press will be publishing my book of poetry, The Pop-Up Book of Death.  The press has a fascinating selection of titles (right now I am reading Madder Love: Queer Men in the Precincts of Surrealism, which is disturbing and a wonderful inspiration to my writing), and I am really proud to be on their forthcoming lineup. 

I am also writing lots of horror poetry, and I am really excited about the directions the poetry is taking me. 

A few weeks ago marked the third anniversary of Unspeakable Horror.  This morning, I was reflecting on the fact that it all started with a blog about gay themes in the horror genre.  A few months after that, I met Vince Liaguno through the website when he was promoting The Literary Six.  And now, three years later, I have this amazing collaboration with Vince Liaguno (founder of Dark Scribe Press), and we have an anthology of queer horror fiction that is nominated for a Stoker Award.  That is really awesome progress!

I took a little hiatus from blogging for the last month or so because I was super-busy with my new job and a series of personal dramas.  Fortunately, May looks to be a new month with great opportunities and beautiful weather here in my new home in Portland, Oregon.  Spring is gorgeous here.

I started watching Harper's Island on the CBS website last night.  I watched three back-to-back episodes.  I am totally hooked and I love it.
