My story "The Missing Time" is now available to read in the most recent issue of the literary journal Lake Effect. I'm pleased because I especially like this story and because this is my third publication with the journal. I was lucky to attend AWP in Seattle last weekend and pick up an advance copy. You should pick up a copy, too. Here.

Looking Out of Broken Windows, Debut Collection
"[Dan] Powell uses surreality and magic – a wheeling-dealing cancer, unborn twins scanning their parents-to-be, a self-starting fire – to illuminate truths with poignancy and humour, paying subtle homage to the short story masters who inspired him, from Kafka to O’Connor and Carver."
Just a quick note that Dan Powell's debut story collection, Looking Out of Broken Windows, is due out in less than weeks from Salt Publishing. I'm quite looking forward to reading his work, since I first encountered him several years ago when he'd stumbled across The Floating Order and took the time to write about it. A few summers ago, Dan contributed to the Summer Library Series that I ran here on What She Might Think. It seems fitting now to share Dan's childhood reading experience now that it has culminated in his first book.
Please enjoy Dan's piece, "The Library That Delivered."

Minnesota Review Spring 2013: How the Sun Burns Among Hills of Rock and Pebble
the minnesota review: Spring 2013, Issue 80 |
The story is the title story for my next book, How the Sun Burns, and the story was a finalist in the 2012 Kore Press Short Fiction Award.
It also happens to be one of my favorite stories.
Here is the opening:
But
aside from the black crepe ribbons that flap on the white poles of
the fair entrance archway, anyone who didn't live in the town last
summer or close enough to hear the nightly news or who didn't ask
about the luminaries lining the dirt avenue that ran along the fair's
midway last night, wouldn't know that a young woman named Helen
Greene disappeared from last summer's Agricultural Fair.
To read the rest, order this Spring's edition of minnesota review.

Featured Author on LibraryThing
Evidently I'm one of the two featured authors today on LibraryThing, so that's pretty lovely. It's also my nephew's birthday. So, a good day all around.
Cheers!
