Published: "Some Peculiar Errand," my novel excerpt; Finalist, Solstice Fiction

I'm delighted to announce that an excerpt ("Some Peculiar Errand") from my novel, The Quintessence, about the return of the 19th-century phenom Margaret Fuller (Bucky's aunt), has been named as a finalist in the Solstice Literary Magazine Fiction Prize, and published here. Two excerpts from the novel have now been published; next up, the novel itself (hello, agents; hello, publishers). Thanks, Solstice.

Please keep shooting from the lip, Mr. Trump

Each time you open your mouth, you lose another supporter -- or maybe a thousand. It's hard to fathom that any decent people still are in your camp, any willing to excuse your latest unfiltered primitivism. But apparently there are still some whom you haven't offended. Please keep running your trap, blurting out whatever uninformed base thought crosses your mind. We knew before that you were uninformed and without scruples, without humility or empathy. Now we know you also had a heart removal along with an exorcism of your soul. There's not much left but please keep talking. By the time you're done, you'll have no boosters whatsoever. And then we can all move on with the important enterprise of being Americans.
