Hobart, Spork, Witness

- July Hobart is live, featuring stories by Glen Pourciau, J. A. Tyler, Lincoln Michel, xTx and Dustin M. Hoffman. Plus the next three Short Flight/Long Drive books have been announced! They are: NowTrends by Karl Taro Greenfeld, I Have Blinded Myself Writing This by Jess Stoner and Other Kinds by Dylan Nice. Whoa.

- My story "The Rågbjerg Mile" went up at Spork last week. This is part of my linked collection THE WINTER WAR and a companion story (sort of) to "Henrik Brandt Needed Help."It's about the Rågbjerg Mile, which is a huge moving sand dune in Denmark. Google image it. It's wild looking. Here's the beginning of the story:

The straight of Skagerrak and the Kattegat Sea meet and form a distinct line reaching northeastward from the tip of Skagen in Denmark to the southwest coast of Sweden. Here there are turbulent waves and strong, unpredictable currents. Odd is thinking about these currents as he takes his first steps into the frigid water. It is September, too cold to swim. But there is a girl in the water.

- Witness 2.0 has launched and it is exciting! It looks like they'll be publishing twice a year online and once in print. I think this model is really interesting and I'm eager to see how Witness will make use of it. Most exciting of all is this story by my friend and fellow UMass Alum Megan Turner!
