Things Change is scheduled to appear on the Thieves Jargon site today (see links below right). It's not my homey, southern story telling kind of tale.

I have a poem due out in Dead Mule in April, East Kanawha County. It's inspired me to try and write another, related poem. I'm struggling with it though. Used to be I couldn't write anything but poetry.

Penwomanship's debut print edition will be coming out in April. My advice column (Ask Aunt Henny) won't be in the premiere issue, but will be featured monthly beginning in May and should be in the April web version.

Finally, AustinMama will be featuring my essay about breast cancer, Hair Today, Man Tomorrow in the next month or so.

If you have a question for Aunt Henny that you don't mind being published in a national magazine, send it by email to AuntHenny [at] Yahoo.com. I won't use anyone's real name -- hell, I don't even use mine!
