Thrilled to announce that Caketrain Press will publish a chapbook length collection of my short stories this summer. Lake of Earth (formerly Bodies and Homes) was chosen by Michael Kimball as the runner-up manuscript in their fiction chapbook competition.
I’ve been working on the stories in Lake of Earth for over two years now. Its got seven in it — six small/medium ones, and a long, half crazed story called “Lake of Earth.” All of the statistics referred to in this post are still accurate except for one.
Caketrain has been around for ten years now, and they’ve put out collections by Ben Mirov, Sarah Rose Etter, and Ryan Call. They’re based out of Pittsburgh, and the previous fiction runner-up was “Short Dark Oracles” by Sarah Levine. I’m overjoyed to be in such good company.
