In case you’ve ever wondered ….  So, Stymie Magazine of Sports Literature asked me recently to explain myself.  For starters, there’s this:

At first I wrote because my mom said I was excellent at telling tall tales, and it’s always nice to be excellent at something besides making a ventriloquist dummy of a rubber-worm fishing lure sing “Free to Be … You and Me.”

Check out the rest here.  My creative nonfiction story “Sport of the Future” appears in Stymie’s Spring/Summer 2012 issue, which can be found here on page 25 (but read the whole issue while you’re at it because it’s full of “feminine perspective” awesomeness).

You can now get your ebook copy of Writing Off Script: Writers on the Influence of Cinema right here.  A very special thanks to Simon Smithson at Calavera Books, each of the phenomenal contributors and interviewees, book cover designer Steven Seighman, and book trailer producer Vernon Lott for all of their hard work and support.  I’m thrilled to share the result of their efforts with you and to see just how much we can raise to help replace the Joplin High School JET-14 students’ studio equipment, field cameras, and supplies that had been destroyed in the May 22 tornado.  So go buy it!  I promise it’ll be $4.99 well spent.
