Issue 12 of Rhapsoidia (whose site is down due to their temporary hiatus, but which used to be, and might one day be again, www.rhapsoidia.com) is out, and my story, “Yell Alley,” is in it. Unfortunately, due to their site being down, the issue is difficult to get one’s hands on, but the zine is overall an interesting read, and I’d say it’s worth finding. Let’s hope their hiatus is, as they say, a temporary one, and they’ll be back on track with issue #13 soon.

Thanks to Sheryl Tempchin, editor of Zahir, who has nominated “Pieces of Scheherazade” for next year’s Pushcart Prize. Results of the nomination will be available in late April, and the annual anthology The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses will be published in the autumn of 2007.
