Every Day Poets: Autumn 1985, The Dead Girl
Short and sweet today (pulling overtime at my day job…argh!).
Please visit Every Day Poets for a dose of daily poetry. Not just because my story “Autumn 1985: The Dead Girl” appears there today.
The editors, Oonah Joslin, Constance Brewer, and Nicholas Ozment consistently strive to feature a wide range of poetry from the literary to the surreal. And the quality of work is always high.
Stop on by. Better yet, submit.

55 A Day: The Terrified Thoughts of a Moon
Recently, the very cool e-zine 55 A Day sparked back into existence. There was a long hiatus, but thankfully, editor Ari Collins has returned to publishing great micro stories. Per submission guidelines, “Your story must be 55 words long. No more, no less.” Challenge yourself, peeps!
And while you’re there, check out my stories, “The Terrified Thoughts of a Moon” and “The Repetitive Nature of Death.”
I’m glad this site is back!

Erin Cole: Writer Spotlight
My recommended author of the week is Portland, Oregon’s very own, Erin Cole. Her work passionately entwines the quiet light of a prophetic voice with the fury of a wounded soul. “Embark through the shaded jungle, lunacy beware, for the wolf journeys on the writer’s unrest.” from Pursuit of the Writer.
She’s able to amuse us with the fundamental nature of her craft. “I play with words, and though I may not assemble them with eloquence and clarity as often as I try, they do infuse my world with vibrant color and meaning.” from My Guru. Then, just as easily, she reveals a significantly divine truth. “I reflect on the concept of an inner compass, some spiritual atlas that gives one drive and direction…” from My Compass.
Thankfully, Erin is gracious enough to share her writing philosophy with us. “For me, writing is a medium to explore the multitude of interests, beliefs, emotions, visions, and other facets I seek to discover and create to make sense of my world.” from Writing.
Erin Cole’s writing seeks out the scars we hide and mercifully declares them beautiful.
