This collection was twenty years in the making, and there were times I could’ve quit, but I never stopped believing in these stories. Thanks @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social and @vanwinkle.bsky.social for believing in them too—and for making this whole process the smoothest imaginable. a.co/d/8UAd3Ij

“It was rising from bed, reluctant as cold sap, and shuffling off the protective cocoon.” Another hard-hitting piece from @sugarpigblog.bsky.social in @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social 🧡🧡🧡🔥🔥🔥

What does "Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked" mean? @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social asked and of course a bunch of writers took the bait. Check out the whole issue--it's really great: www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/hidden-behin... Here's one of my contributions.

CJ agrees--it's why we're putting out a Terry Allen incited anthology, I FEEL JUST LIKE A DOGWOOD TREE. Comin soon...

It's Friday, and I'm sharing my beautiful cover again because how stunning is this photo by Keith Bernstein? And how lovely are the things these amazing writers have said about my debut out March 3rd?

ICYMI amid yesterday's detritus, CJ put out a new issue!!!

ICYMI amid yesterday's detritus, CJ put out a new issue!!!

Howdy

CJ's editor @vanwinkle.bsky.social will give y'all a sneak peek at this killer earlier in the week. But suffice to say, go pre-save it now.

"...crouching before the blue god of short flames in his black metal cave, winking at me like a dozen butterfly wings, sucking moisture from my lips in return for brief comfort." Read my latest CNF in @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/dressing-in-...

"Emelyn can read Mommy’s mood by the echo of the front door slamming into its peeling frame, by the depth of each line on her face" Read "The Cat in the Guest Bedroom" by @delgeo14.bsky.social in @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/the-cat-in-t...

I'm so grateful to @anwinkle.bsky.social for giving my weird tale a home in Cowboy Jamboree @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social 'By the time she turns fifteen, green-haired Maxine’s irritation itches like the wool jumpers of her childhood.' www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/the-cat-in-t...

Ags Connolly (@ConnollyAgs) is the man y'all. His all covers album of Slim Hand songs is our kinda jam, and his interpretations are worth your money: agsconnolly.com/product/your...

Back with the longest short story I've pubbed in a mag since two and half years ago. Grateful to @vanwinkle.bsky.social for putting out this one!

Slim Hand music appears in this stellar fiction from Chris. Looking forward to that novel...

It was absolute pleasure to review Ags Connolly's music in this. His sound is timeless, his lyrics are killer. Mighty thankful he agree to some interview questions to boot: www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/folks-its-ag...

Cowboy Jamboree's Fall issue is live y'all. We're kicking off our 11th (!) year with "Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked." The theme was inspired by a Slim Hand lyric & these writers took it in all kinds of cool directions. www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/hidden-behin...

Born (1936) and died (2004) on this day: master of dirty realism, Lucia Berlin. Glad I found her writing. I return to it and think of it often.

ICYMI yesterday, CJ just put out a bangin collection about a small Texas town by @kevingrauke.bsky.social.

Is your smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa Or is this your way to hide a broken heart Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art James Hand does Nat King Cole: www.youtube.com/watch?v=In_I...
