The Limey and Queen Mob's Teahouse

Howdy!

So, first off - I've got a feature up on Spectrum Culture about Steven Soderbergh's underrated 1999 film The Limey. Read that here: http://spectrumculture.com/2016/07/28/oeuvre-soderbergh-limey/. It's a great film (and short - only 87 minutes) so you should definitely do yourself a favor and see it.

Second, my brother and I have one of our pieces going into one of my absolute favorite journals - Queen Mob's Teahouse. Casey created a beautiful painting that served as inspiration for my story about an American runner having an intense holiday stay at a colleague's beach home in South Africa. I'll put a link up once it is out (which will be in September).

Thanks for the love and support. 

Several New Publications

Hey friends!

I've got lots of new writing out there in the universe. First off some movie reviews - if you're a fan of bad movies, you're going to want to check out Intruder (http://spectrumculture.com/2016/06/28/intruder/). If you like good movies (particularly good foreign movies and good World War II movies), then you need to see The Innocents (http://spectrumculture.com/2016/07/06/the-innocents/).

Next up, I've got an essay about scrapbooking (yes, you read that right - scrapbooking) that's forthcoming from Brain Mill Press. I love writing essays but don't get to do it nearly enough, so this was a real treat and I'm so excited the folks at Brain Mill picked it up!

My brother Casey and I have two of our "painted stories" being published by fabulous new online journals - Slink Chunk Press and Intrinsick. I'll put links up as soon as they are online and then everyone must please share them all over the Internet.

And finally, my story Olive Urchin, a retelling of Oliver Twist set in Hong Kong, is going to be published by Blinders Literary Journal. 

Thanks so much for all of the love and support!

 

Two new movie reviews!

Hi friends! I've got two new movie reviews up on Spectrum Culture. The first is of Tikkun, a strange, creepy, black & white art film about the Hasidic community in Jerusalem (http://spectrumculture.com/2016/06/15/tikkun/). The second is for Tickled, a documentary about "competitive endurance tickling" which sounds funny, and is, but the film is also a compelling thriller that looks at cyberbullying and homophobia (http://spectrumculture.com/2016/06/19/tickled/). Have a read and let me know if you watch them!
