I wrote 5,000 words on my life as a published author. Some gossip, some intrigue, and some hope.

My new novel, COLOSSUS, is a "challenging portrait of a thoroughly modern man.” You should get it.

@damiankelleher This one!

@chillsubs Thrilled to see Tough Poets Review on the list. Thanks for the recognition.

Putting this out here so you can say, "I submitted to them before they were rich and famous." Which is obviously a super realistic goal for a lit mag.

At this point I'd happily buy anything Tough Poets Press puts out.

[Amputated Cephalopod @JayBeeUsher]

@unpaginated I give credit where it's due. Tough Poets Press is POD but when I order something it feels like a real book for once. You know, with the text actually justified correctly.

@TheLuisPanini @ToughPoets @ToughPoets is such a great small publisher. We need more of these small presses in this age of publishing houses consolidating and moving aggressively to the banal center.
