Chag Hanukkah Sameach to all my friends and family celebrating this first night. In the same breath, my thoughts are with those in New South Wales Jewish community mourning the horrible attack at Bondi Beach, who gathered to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah.

Haven’t been posting lately as much as I should because I’m writing three new poetry collections in addition to a novella. Though, that being said I do have some books out there and more coming soon!

In some happy news this Sunday, I’m pleased to announce my prose poem “The Goodfellow at Dawn” will appear in the Winter Solstice issue of Eternal Haunted Summer! The theme is “The Good Neighbors” (fae, fair folk, fairies). Always happy to be back in the pages of EHS! : )

It’s really surreal seeing my upcoming poetry collection on Simon and Schuster’s website. Mark your calendars… the cover reveal is coming Monday. 😁 @shortwavebooks.bsky.social @laneheymont.bsky.social

This is my first issue as poetry editor and it features poetry by Michael Butterworth, @andydibble.bsky.social, Robert Frazier, @bugthewriter.bsky.social, @cybergodwrites.bsky.social, @jennahanchey.bsky.social, Howard V. Hendrix, @aijiang.bsky.social, Lauren McBride, & John Reinhart + lots more

Settling into a relaxing weekend of writing and new projects!
