 My story, “Stage Play in Five Acts of Her: Matinee” is now at Rick Magazine, the fabulous new publication that was Mississippi Review Online. Rick Magazine is owned and edited by the lovely Frederick Barthelme, and this inaugural issue—Writing, Place & Film—is the brainchild of Valley Lynn Watson, who must be sainted. Truly, she is the kind of talent and guiding light that makes you remember why you started to write in the first place. A big, big thank you to both Lynn and Rick.
The issue is fantastic (really you must go read it), and I’m beyond words and so very humbled to be included among such talents as Ann Beattie, T.C. Boyle, Dustin Michael, Lavonne J. Adams, Katie Kingston, Clay Matthews, Sam Rasnake, David Schloss, Jeff Simpson, Kay Sloan, Daniel Nathan Terry, Roxane Gay, Sara Lippmann, Gary Percesepe, Meg Pokrass, and Mary Grimm.

A big thank you to Sheldon Lee Compton for reading and reviewing my story, “Featherbedding” and to >kill author for running the Issue Mate’s review series. An honor.
“… a blend of both the surreal and a familiar, gritty reality… Bryant transforms the man and woman into huddled and hungry animals clinging to one another. But the other half of that mixture, that of hope, is what makes this story stand out in any roomful of great stories…”
If you haven’t checked out Issue 8 of >kill author yet, do it. Do it now. I highly recommend the entire issue that features “Playing” by Sheldon Lee Compton and “Italo Calvino People” by Elaine Chiew, as well as other fine works by Andrew Roe, Cameron Pierce, Cezarija Abartis, Cheyenne Nimes, Daniel Carter, Daniel Romo, David Backer, David Laskowski, Edmond Caldwell, Frank Hinton, Gregory Sherl, Jack Boettcher, Jennifer Spiegel, Jessica Newman, Lauren Becker, Matt Mullins, Melissa Lee-Houghton, Mitch James, Raymond Farr, R L Swihart, Ryder Collins, and Thomas Bunstead. Also, see my review of Elaine Chiew’s story “Italo Calvino People.”

 Dark Sky Magazine‘s Robert Paul Moreira includes Curtis VanDonkelaar’s “An Archive of Manly Questions” in the Recommended Reading from Online Magazine List series along with Smokelong Quarterly, White Whale Review, Knee Jerk and Literary Mama.
“I’m speaking to the Dopamine in your brain: you want some good fiction. You want some mind-fucking, synapse popping, caffeine-induced, sleep-deprived, better-than-sex (well, sort of) flurry of letters and sounds and phrases that will set your myelinated axon ass on fire….”
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, and in the iconic words of an orphan with a twist magazine holding it’s proverbial bowl: ”Please sir, I want some more.” Readers can find more of Moreira’s recommendations now at Dark Sky Magazine.
Look for the new issue of Moon Milk Review on the first Monday of every month.
