Grateful to play drums with Markus Hunt's Equity & Social Justice Quartet again, this time for our contribution to a Podcast Series hosted by Carvell Wallace, WHO WE ARE: A CHRONICLE OF RACISM IN AMERICA, a project spun out of a talk by Jeffery Robinson. J JOURNAL has meanwhile accepted "Old Mike's Body," a short story excerpted from one of my novels, to publish in Fall of 2021, and CONFRONTATION will be publishing a poem of mine, "Big Bend," in a future issue.

Razor Lit Mag did a beautiful job of featuring my award-winning story in their Fall Issue. Intriguing artwork with a nice Tarkovsky-slow zoom. issue4.razorlitmag.com/A good friend's debut novel, The Glamshack, is launching on Thursday, July 20, at Boulder Bookstore. Paul's an amazing writer with accolades from the likes of James Salter. If you're a Front Range reader checking this site, be there: 7:30, on Pearl Street in downtown Boulder.
This nice new journal just accepted a short short story of mine, COVERING THE BULL. Looking forward to joining a young journal already publishing some strong writing.
Happy as Norm with his mallard on the 3-cent stamp. IOWA REVIEW took a story of mine, THE RAM AND CHARLIE PRUITT, for its Finalist list to judge Amelia Gray. Hoping next year for the First Class stamp for my even-toed ungulate (Ovis canadensis) and hapless Charlie--unless they find another literary garage.
Litro Online, a nice extension of the British print publication, just put my story "The Hold" (excerpted from No Roads Home--the novel I'm currently sending out) up on April 25, in their #TuesdayTales series. See it here: https://www.litro.co.uk/2017/04/the-hold/

JAY LEE ELLISI write novels, stories, and poems, and sometimes literary criticism. I also play jazz drums. For me, writing is rewriting, so I'll just use this page not so much as a "blog" as a place to post news. Archives
