I am an English teacher and Creative Writing teacher in the East Bay area of San Francisco. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Masters in Writing. I also teach Fiction writing classes in the East Bay. You can find my writing in many fine literary magazines, both on-line and in print. I like to blog about literary magazines and books I'm reading, and also about the act of writing.

This reading is hosted by Ecstatic Monkey, a writer's collective that hosts readings and provides information to writers about publishing opportunities. To find out more about the collective log onto ecstaticmonkey.com. To read more about Dustin Heron's new book log onto smalldeskpress.com. More on this later.

Reading
I'll be reading at Modern Times Bookstore on May 10th, 2007. That's in San Francisco on Valencia. Mapquest it. I'm terrible at remembering addresses. I'll post the press release when it comes out. It's a reading sponsored by Ecstatic Monkey, which is a San Francisco based writers' collective. I'm not sure what I'll be reading--either "Itinerary for the Tourist" or "Turtles Don't Have Hair." The reading starts at 7:30, sharp, for those friends who always come late. I'll be reading first--I'm like the warm-up band to the major act. More on this later.
Saturday Morning Writing Postponemen
Here I am trying to create a blogsite when I am supposed to be doing the following:
a) Buying groceries
b) Taking Jackey to get a gift for a birthday party
c) Writing a story
d) Getting dressed
e) Reading my students' work
Not necessarily in that order.
Is this how this day is going to go?
