Short Stories
It may interest some of you to know that, thus far, "Just a Couple of Days" has been (or is in the process of being) translated into Spanish, Italian, Polish, Turkish, French, and Hebrew. Curious about the process of translation, I did some research and happened across a wordreference.com discussion board where the Turkish translator of "Just a Couple of Days" was inquiring if anyone could explain what "wise-assed" specifically meant. Thence ensued a lively discussion with contributors from t...

I have already revealed that my forthcoming second novel, "Nine Kinds of Naked," is about sex, synchronicity, and tornadoes. I trust it will not severely violate anyone’s sense of expectation when I also reveal that there are gnomes in "Nine Kinds of Naked."

I bring this up because when I was researching elemental creatures some time ago, I happened across a marvelous essay online. It impressed me, and I forwarded it to a few friends only to soon discover that it was actually written b... read more 
I am a poacher in the great state of Texas. I own no gun, and I have never killed an animal, but I am on the record nonetheless, as if I’m some fiercely independent scofflaw determined to feed my family meat through the mean winter and no goddamn government is gonna tell me otherwise.

This is not a story about the wow and holy cow of seeing your initials on someone’s license plate, or hearing a word you just learned on the radio, or running into a friend at the grocery store. Without offending the marvel of others, these do not entirely impress me, and seem more like artifacts of attention than bona fide synchronicities. (Although, it did give me pause when one reader wrote me amazed to report that when she was reading "Just a Couple of Days," just as the main character ...

I am prone to powerful dreams, and I've been known to scare the nightlights out of myself in kicking awake. Still, there are dreams that kick you awake and there are dreams that land you ten feet across the room feeling like your skin just spun twice around your skeleton, gasping and goosebumping. What follows is of the latter variety. Interpretations are welcome, though you don't necessarily need to be a wind-talker.

A ninety-foot tall oil derrick bore spiritless witness to nine gigantic steel humans in various poses of prostration and supplication. Crude Awakening, the installation on the edge of the open playa was called, and throughout the week I found myself vaguely annoyed by this piece. Impressed by the scale and ambition, most certainly, but isn’t that theme overwrought? Yes, we worship petroleum. Surely everybody gets that by now. Even the people running generators all day in their RVs unders...
