Poem 'A Tram Ride' Published in Finger Magazine (Adelaide, SA)

A poem I wrote in 2007 was published in Finger Magazine from Adelaide, South Australia in November last year, but I only recently found out about it. Seems they forgot to email me. Strangeness.

Anyway, I'm glad the poem finally saw the light somewhere. You can find it here: http://www.fingermagazine.com.au/?p=139  

Let me know what you think.

Poem published by Verity La.

Hi Everyone,


A poem I wrote, 'Roaches Dancing' has been published on Verity La., a great online lit mag. You can find the post here. Check out other posts on the site while you are at it. There is some choice poetry, great interviews and reviews, and of course fiction there.


It has already been making some whirls, with brad from Maekitso's cafe dedicating a poem to mine. 


It is a real poetry love-fest!


Now we're ready for Christmas!


Love,
Joran


P.S. Please allow me to plug my other blog: Syphilis of the Brain - it is my latest brain child (get it? Brain?) and on it I post whatever I come across on a day to day basis and whatever catches my fancy. Links to music. To films. Odd photos. Art I really like. It pretty low-brow. But low-brow is good, isnt'it? 

Short Story published in Blue Crow Magazine #2

Hi All,


A short story I wrote, 'On the Seventh Day He Woke', the first short story I ever wrote featuring Sam H. Bound, has been published in Blue Crow Magazine #2. 


The magazine is 'print on demand' and can be ordered from the website here. A printed copy of the magazine is US$15 + postage, or US$5 in E-book format. With the way the US$ is going that really isn't that much for a 300 page book chockfull of short stories, drawings, pictures, reviews, and more short stories.


You can find Blue Crow Magazine on Facebook here and don't forget you can find Blues Fiction there too!


Thank you all for your support.
Onward Ever!
