HOW THEY WERE FOUND Forthcoming From Keyhole Press

I'm incredibly happy to be able to officially announce that Keyhole Press will be publishing my first full-length fiction collection, How They Were Found, in the fall of 2010.

I'm excited to have placed this book with what I believe is one of the most impressive new literary presses around, and to join a press that has such a great catalog of forthcoming books already: I'll be following collections from Stephanie Johnson, Shellie Zacharia, and William Walsh, plus chapbooks by Thomas Cooper and Aaron Burch, all books by writers who I am truly honored to be able to be published beside.

I look forward to sharing more details as they become available, but in the meantime, I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me write these stories and put together this collection and just read my work up to this point. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help and your support, and I couldn't have written this book without you.
