Chapbook update: Finishing Line Press is running a bit behind. For those of you who ordered a copy of Breach, you can now expect it to ship around September 12. Sorry about that!
The good news is that there were enough pre-orders to justify a larger press run. So I'll get 50 author copies, and the press run will be 500. Whee! I'll be able to get at least a couple of local bookstores to stock it, and I'll have copies to sell at readings. Oh, and I know of at least two libraries that have ordered it. That part makes me extra happy. I feel like once your words are safely on the shelf in a good library, in a way, you're going to live forever.
I know, I'm a nerd. Deal with it. :)

Here's a drafty something for you. I'll leave it up for a day or so. This is from the series I mentioned in my previous post.

Anne, I really like it -- it has tremendous resonance. One suggestion: make it an angel at the end instead of angels in the plural.

Glad I actually caught this before you had to pull it down :)
I'm struck by the images: purpling of sex, threading of those jeans etc.
Nice start!
Oh and I'll live having to wait for Breach (I hope!) :)
Congrats on the big press run! I managed 250 by the skin of my teeth.
Thanks, all! Diane - hm, interesting idea. I had it plural because it was "hands" that are like angels - but maybe it should be recast altogether. I'll think about it.
Collin - I think I only got there because my mom bought a pile of 'em. She ordered like ten, I think. Guess we know what everyone she knows is getting for Christmas. ;)
Wow. That's very cool. Congrats!
