SONGS FOR THE RAVEN ANTHOLOGY COMING SOON

One never forgets their first time. I am of course talking of being published. I am proud to announce that my poem "Thirteen" is going to be a part a new anthology published by the wonderfull James Ward Kirk called "Songs for the Raven."  His anthologies are top notch and, though I am happy to be published in any fashion, I find that I am even more thrilled to be a part of one of his fine collections.

I am not sure when the book is actually going to be available but you can rest assured that I will post details here as I have them. At the bottom is the full lineup and a mock cover for the book. The anthologies that James releases are filled with some of the finest dark writing that any reader could ever hope to find. I look forward to sharing space with fellow authors that I enjoy and respect, as well as those whom I have yet to read but very much look forward to checking out.
