According to their Kinds is getting a second wind with today's announcement from Winning Writers. It received Honorable Mention from the North Street Book Prize for self-published books, making it a runner-up for the prize in Literary Fiction. Along with this honor, Winning Writers published a very nice critique of the book: check it out here.

Part memoir, part anthology,
this fanciful book is a mosaic
of stories, poems and spiritual wisdoms unlike anything you've ever read.  

Metonym Literary Journal, a publication from the undergraduate English students of William Jessup University, has published its ninth volume, full of gorgeous poems, prose and full-color artwork. I'm truly honored to be featured in this beautiful collection, with a creative nonfiction piece titled “Numb to the Cold." But back to the journal itself, the students have done a remarkable job with it. Honestly. Awesome work!
