Wonderful news! One of my haiku, ‘Chrysalis,’ was highlighted in issue 17 of Haikuverse, in Melissa Allen’s Red Dragonfly. Honored indeed to be included alongside, well, I don’t even dare mention names… you have to go and read for yourselves.

Melissa Allen’s blog is a must read if you are interested in Haiku, Haibun, Haiga and related forms. Informative, and fun to read, it will blow your socks off; it will surprise and delight you edition after edition. Go and see…

Also in my news: my very short story (vss) ‘Cruelty’ has been selected to be included in the Upper Rubber Boot Books anthology of work from Seven by Twenty. The anthology will be named 140 And Counting, and is expected to be released as an e-book by the end of 2011.

Finally, forthcoming:

Haiku ‘Vineyard’ in Shamrock, the Haiku Journal of the Irish Haiku Society

Haiku ‘Zen Garden’ in ‘A Handful of Stones’

Flash Fiction in 52250 A Year of Flash: ‘Fishing’
