    I don't *have* any, but thought a new thread for a new year would be good.

    (well, actually I do... As Bill posted, "this" magazine's current issue is up--"Greyhound" is still one of my favs, Bill--)

    Excited to say an experimental flash piece, "On Kissing," went live this month at Wrong Tree Review:
    http://wrongtreereview.wordpress.com/on-kissing-by-heather-fowler/

    Necessary Fiction's First Footing project published a pair piece I wrote with Flannery O'Connor's "Good Country People," called "Good Country. People."--
    http://necessaryfiction.com/writerinres/HeatherFowlerGoodCountryPeople

    JMWW just released the title story from my book SUSPENDED HEART--"Suspended Heart" in their Winter 2011 issue:
    http://jmww.150m.com/Fowler2.html


    I chatted with Ravi Mangla at his Recommended Reading blog, about reading:
    http://readreadreadreadreadreadread.blogspot.com/2011/01/heather-fowler.html

    And I'm the featured poet this week at The Nervous Breakdown with a heroic crown entitled "The Love, Laughter, Cherish Crown"--

    http://www.thenervousbreakdown.com/hfowler/2011/01/the-love-laughter-cherish-crown/

    ...and a self-interview about writing, love, loss, and the different impulses of fiction and poetry:
    http://www.thenervousbreakdown.com/hfowler/2011/01/heather-fowler-the-tnb-self-interview-2/

    Also, my best friend told me today she has now received my book in the mail. :) Hope I get it in my mailbox too!

    Cheers and happy writing to all,

    I've got a couple of poems forthcoming in the next Full of Crow poetry, a couple more poems forthcoming in Gutter Eloquence in March, and a queered Hansel and Gretel (and the witch!) short upcoming in an anthology 'Women Writing The Weird' from Doghorn Publishing. Actually, I owe Marcus Speh a thanks for that fairytale. He wrote a brilliant little Hansel and Gretel piece with a hint of incest in it which partly gave me the idea for my story.

Matt, off to listen to your stuff, I love to hear you read. Carol, read your piece in QUAY a couple of nights ago -- nice! and one of my favorite venues (and glad it's reinvigorated). JP, Mark, Ann, and all the others -- hooray!

    I've had 5 acceptances in 2011 -- I'll post links as they become available. At AWP I spent a long time speaking with an editor from a small press that hit it big last year about a nonfiction idea, and she likes it. So I am veering off in yet another direction. And best of all, 8 pages left to slay on the current revision of novel #1.I am hoping to lay waste to a tree tomorrow and print the sucker out. Peace...
