My story "Model Airplanes" was nominated by Emprise Review for Best of the Net 2010. This story is a chapter from my unpublished novel, The Immortals Act Their Age (Big thanks Patrick and crew...). (Here is an interview editor Patrick McAllaster conducted with me this past May.) This is my second Best of the Net nomination, including my story "Snowing Fireflies" (title story of my chapbook, Snowing Fireflies) which originally appeared in Willows Wept Review. Big congrats to all the other Emprise nominees, including Ben Loory, Sheldon Lee Compton, Roxane Gay, Steve Himmer, JP Dancing Bear, as well as the Willows Wept nominees such as Howie Good, J.A. Tyler, and all others...
