A talent for my own destruction is all I've ever owned

The mid-January issue of SF Site is up and has a very positive review of Not One of Us #32. This makes me happy for a number of reasons. Not One of Us was the first magazine ever to publish a story of mine, and I currently serve as contributing editor for their website; and to my knowledge, this is the first time that Not One of Us has been reviewed at a major online site in its fifteen-plus years of publication. (There was also a Tangent Online review of #31, but since the site seems requiescens in semi-pace at the minute, I cannot provide a link.) All in all, good things.

"One of the most accomplished newer poets in the field." If anybody needs me, I'll be blushing and hiding behind the furniture . . .
