A New Publication

For anyone interested, Phoebe Journal has just published a piece of creative nonfiction I wrote. The essay, entitled "Birthday Trip to Pere La Chaise," can be found here: http://www.phoebejournal.com/?p=846http://www.phoebejournal.com/?p=846

In speaking with the editor at Phoebe, we realized something funny about my submission. Although it took them 15 months to respond to it, they weren't even accepting nonfiction submissions back then. I was lucky, obviously, that someone came across this piece when they did and liked it enough to recommend it for publication.

New Blog

Hi all!

Sorry for the lapse in posting, but I've been spending my free time over the last few weeks giving my novel, Lotusland, another revision and starting a new blog to help promote it. The blog can be found at:

http://avietnamesenovel.blogspot.com

I'm hoping to get a bit of notice for it by word-of-mouth prior to blitzing agents for representation when I go back to the U.S. for the holidays. So if any of you wonderful people want to have a look at what I've been working on (okay, off and on) since 2004, I'd be eternally grateful. I've included five full chapters and five chapter excerpts -- a peek at ten of the twenty-nine chapters that make up the novel, in fact. The whole blog is a work-in-progress, but I hope it's easy to navigate for everyone.

I'll try to get back to this blog soon. Thank you!
