A Spork in the Road

I have a very short piece due for publication shortly in the funky flash fiction anthology Last Drink Bird Head. Here’s the promo:

What Is Last Drink Bird Head? That’s the catalyst editors Ann and Jeff VanderMeer provided to over 80 writers in creating this unique anthology, with all proceeds going to ProLiteracy.org. All each writer got was an email with “Last Drink Bird Head” in the subject line and the directions “Who or what is Last Drink Bird Head? Under 500 words.” The result? Last Drink Bird Head is a blues musician, a performance artist, a type of alcohol, a town in Texas, and even a song sung by girl scouts in Antarctica. Famed designer John Coulthart did the interior, which features bobbing bird heads in the corners of the pages, so that the antho is also a flipbook.

The anthology Last Drink Bird Head, edited by Jeff VanderMeer and Ann VanderMeer, is wending its way towards limited hardcover publication later this year, if all goes well, followed by a trade paperback next year.

The anthology comprises flash fiction from a wide variety of authors, including moi, and promises to be a fun, fascinating read. Each piece is the author’s interpretation of “Last Drink Bird Head” — whatever that may be.

I’m proud to say that proceeds will go to ProLiteracy.org.

Further bulletins as events warrant!
