“House With Columns” is a cyanotype print of my wife taken on Mare Island, Vallejo, California. It was made on Canson Watercolor paper, Clearprint Drafting Velllum, and Arches Platine Paper, and developed using a lightbox that I made using UV LEDs. I used three paper types in order to learn more about the medium, and used Christina Z. Anderson’s article and book as a guide.

“Pyromaniacs, Bored and Young” is a touching little tale about a group of teenagers who like to set things on fire. It is the second story I’ve published under this title.
Picayune Magazine is a lovely little publication based at New Mexico Highlands University. They produce a beautiful magazine over there, but unfortunately their limited operations budget ($500 per issue) precludes printing extra issues. They make a few for staff, one each for contributors, and that is it.
Picayune magazine is now defunct.

“The Last Dignified Transaction” is about the rewards inherent in being a university teaching assistant, and then going on to work as a waiter… and then having to serve your former students.
This publication originated in Glasgow. Spilling Ink Review was a quarterly e-journal: “They’re a troupe of professional writers and readers that shares a passion for the written word as well as compassion for new and established writers looking for an innovative platform. Their aim is to create an environment where the unexpected can thrive, where the serious and the humorous can sit comfortably side-by-side, and where we can celebrate both the process and the product of creative writing.”
