News from the Nonfiction front… my On Series

After six months of not writing, I began – in January 2013 – drafting the On series, a group of nonfiction pieces inspired by the writings of Michel de Montaigne.

I’ve completed 10 essays. I use the word “essays” though the pieces are far from traditional. Thanks to the Woodshed, a private writers’ group in Fictionaut, for comments and patience. Six of the pieces have been published or are forthcoming:

“On Voices,” published in Pithead Chapel

“On Literature,” published in Connotation Press

“On Silence,” published in Orion headless

“On Faces,” published in Red Fez

“On Wanting to Be a Writer,” forthcoming in Red Fez

“On the Dying,” forthcoming in Red Fez
