Romantic Roundup
Stoked to have my first piece in DTLV, a review of five downtown Las Vegas date-night finds.
Set the mood, y’all.
“Fun Home” Ain’t Fun
It’s dangerous.
Unpopular opinion: Fun Home, the off-Broadway Tony award-winning hit based on the graphic novel by MacArthur genius grant recipient Alison Bechdel, commits harmful erasures.
This is a belated posting, but my review of Fun Home explores the ways silence and ignorance reify oppressive social structures.
*TW sexual violence, pedophilia
Fledgling Foodie
My first-ever food review is published in December 2016’s “Off the Ranch” column in Downtown Zen magazine! I went to Sweets Raku and regret nothing.
The Second Coming
September’s issue of Las Vegas’ Downtown Zen magazine is here, and ya girl’s on the cover & the homepage as the fiction feature. My short story about Elvis returning to Sin City, “The Second Coming,” with original illustrations by Salvatore Napoli, is available in the print magazine throughout downtown Vegas & online now!
Melissa Etheridge & First Drafts
On Friday, August 7, I had the opportunity to review Melissa Etheridge’s solo tour, This is M.E., at the Palms Casino. I have been a fan literally my entire life!
The review went live yesterday and is available here!
PS: This happened.
Finished my first full draft of the novel, baby! Yeehaw!
Talkin’ ’bout stories on KNPR
Last week, the Las Vegas affiliate of NPR, KNPR News, reached out to me regarding my e-Chapbook published by Five [Quarterly], See & Be Seen & Be Scene.
This resulted in my first-ever interview, online here!
I ain’t never scared
…except when I’m in the country’s only R-Rated haunted house, of course.
Freakling Bros. “Trilogy of Terror”
My first review for EDGE Las Vegas is live! PS this experience was terrifying (in the best way)!
