Freshly published in Twelve Winters Journal, Richard Key's amusing and prophetic story "Slouching Towards SPOMA" - twelvewinters.com/key-slouching-…

Recently published in the Journal, "The Worthless Turtle" by Dennis McFadden. Sadly Mr. McFadden, a prolific author, passed away prior to our accepting his story - but his family gave us permission and encouragement to bring it out twelvewinters.com/mcfadden-the-w…

I have a couple of #readings coming up - meanwhile the most challenging part remains: making readers aware of your #book - #maryshelley #frankenstein #biography #gothic

Some further thoughts regarding #AWP 2026 in #Baltimore - which we cover in Episode 33 of our #podcast - #writingcommunity #books #authors

In Episode 33 of our #podcast A Lesson before Writing, one of the issues we address is including words from other languages in an English-language text. It seems that there's been a shift in how #writers and #publishers treat such occurrences. #writingcommunity #englishlanguage

Now available! "The Castle of Love" is a major work of medieval German literature, yet it was never translated into English before Winder McConnell undertook the task for Uppsala Books. For fascinating insights into medieval courtship, love allegory, theological speculation, and much more, check out this delightful book! Visit: uppsalabooks.com/minneburg

I did not set out to write a biography of Mary - my goal was to write some quality sonnets - the idea of a biography emerged in the process of writing them, but the approach may have been a fortuitous accident, or the bright idea of my unconscious mind from the start.

Now available! Walther, the hero of the Old English "Waldere" and the Medieval Latin "Waltharius," appears in no fewer than ten works of medieval German literature. The relevant passages are edited and translated in "The Legend of Walther of Aquitaine: Medieval German Texts and Translations" (Trans. Brian Murdoch, Ed. Leonard Neidorf). Check it out!

I'm so thankful for my friend and colleague Dr. Amina Ghazanfar, who has organized the official book launch and reading of Aspiring Child, hosted remotely by the National University of Modern Languages in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The official #book launch & #reading for Aspiring Child will be hosted by the National University of Modern Languages in #Islamabad, Pakistan. It will partly be a talk on Mary #Shelley and the legacy of #Frankenstein, and partly a reading from my #biography of Mary in #sonnets.

Just one of the many topics we get into in Episode 33 of the #podcast - #writing #publishing #language #writingrules

Brady Harrison and I take years to write a novel, while Grant can knock out a Hayden Fuller mystery in about 40 days -- and our daily #writing sessions are just as diverse. In Episode 33 of the #podcast we talk about various approaches to achieving the same goal

Freshly published in our Miscellany, James Joaquin Brewer's insightful commentary on his novel excerpt "Menelaus Meets Proteus." twelvewinters.com/brewer-comment…

We meant to publish "Menelaus Meets Proteus" last year, but a series of missed communications prevented it. Now, for your reading pleasure, James Joaquin Brewer's highly imaginative novel excerpt twelvewinters.com/brewer-menelau…

One of the things I'm proudest of regarding our #podcast is that, to date, we've featured the work of more than 30 contemporary #writers - every month we introduce our audience to writers who deserve rabid #readers and media recognition

Episode 33 of our #podcast is available - in addition to a variety of #writing & #publishing topics, we discuss the story "Tempting Fate" by Elizabeth Hart Bergstrom in Bennington Review 14

The press sold so many #books in Baltimore I had to restock - it seems that if we can reach #readers of discriminating taste, our titles are in demand.
