New Poetry Videos

I've posted a few more poetry videos on my YouTube channel.

As always, I'll keep posting updates on this blog and on my website. I've said it before and I'll say it again... Watch out for catfishing and other strange online behavior.

I have received some very sweet emails from people saying they enjoyed Inappropriate Sleepover. Thanks everyone!

Madison & Columbus Photos (& Next Weekend's Events)

I had a great time in Madison reading for the Emerging Young Poets Reading and doing a reading and answering questions for the poetry class at Madison College. My presentation/teaching at the Columbus State Writers Conference went well. The participants in my workshop were fearless. It was fun being part of the book fair as well. My luggage will be a lot lighter on the way home after selling books. You can still order a copy on amazon if you were unable to buy one at the recent Akron, Madison, and Columbus events. In Columbus, I stayed at The Lofts hotel and when I arrived I found out I had been upgraded to a suite for free. Yes.

Next weekend I have a reading on Friday evening at Quaker Square and a reading Saturday evening at Annabell's. (Both in Akron, Ohio.) I have readings and events in different states this summer. I will keep posting updates.

I finally got my hair cut today. The last time I got my hair cut was April 16th, 2013. It was really long.

Earlier today...

It feels much better now!


I'm really tired this week, but I am so excited about the events on the 19th, 24th, and 26th! 

I will post info about other readings soon.
