My Tom Waits inspired non-fiction piece is now live in the first issue of Cannoli Pie Magazine

Back in February during the AWP Conference in Denver, CO, I read a non-fiction piece called “The Author Who Gets Free Drinks: a (Hopefully) True Story.” Fine man extraordinaire Stephen Krauska was in the audience. After the reading, I spoke with him for a bit, and got the (eventually proven true) impression that he’s an all around damn nice guy. So nice in fact that for the first issue of his (and co-editor Claire Suellentrop‘s) Cannoli Pie Magazine he asked to print the AWP piece.

That issue is now live at the Cannoli Pie homepage. Download the .pdf, give the story a read, and be sure to listen to the AWP reading, available as part of The Velvet Podcast.

Oh, and for those curious, yes, it worked. My next piece will be called “The Author Who Gets Lap Dances and Pizza For Free Every Morning.”
