- I got my contributor copy of the Los Angeles Review the other day. It features my story "Priest Lake, Idaho" along with lots of terrific stories, poems, essays, interviews and reviews by the likes of Nick Sansone, Randall Brown, Kyle Hemmings, B.J. Hollars and a whole bunch of others. It's a great issue and I'm really enjoying reading through it. Many thanks to Stefanie Freele and the Los Angeles Review staff for taking this story. Here's the beginning:

There is a man who lives at the end of a street on the outskirts of a medium-sized city in the state of Washington. The street is a cul-de-sac. His house is the one with the black shutters that were replaced upside down when the house was repainted. The man has since never been able to tell just what it is that looks so strange about his house, but he finds, every time he comes home, a deficit in its appearance. For a living he makes fine, artisan furniture.
