My review of Aunt Pig of Puglia, by Patricia Catto, published by Jaded Ibis Press.

This blog so far mostly mentions announcements about this site and submissions openings, a few of my publications, and reviews that I do of innovative literary books, and things along those lines. I haven't kept it up for a good while, but am going back to it again, hello.
Who am I?
I put this resource site together, edited Exclusive Magazine, put out people's e-chapbooks through LucidPlay, teach Fiction Writing through UCLA Ex. Writing Program, Writers College, and my own academy online, where I specialize in innovative literary fiction, which I edit as well. Please check out my website if you're interested.
Make-Do Publishing will be putting out my short story in the future, and Dog Horn Publishing will put out my novel. I'm also nearing 200 poetry and short story publications in journals, as well as 4 novelettes.
I have an MA in English from FSU and an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop. I've won several awards, and written a lot of literary theory. Non-traditional literature has been a passion of mine all my life.
I haven't always had the chance to focus on it, as I've done many other things. One of them has been art; the images you see on any of my websites are mine, and I was equally diligent about publishing and showing my art as I was my writing. I was Art Director for Mad Hatters Review, and the artist for MKZine. I live in Berkeley, CA.
I hope you find this resource website useful. Enjoy!
