Ritual sacrfice and other trip preparations

My cousin is getting married next week and it's my Daddio's birthday the week after that, so the convergent events mean the BF and I are taking a trip to the inland northwest for familyness. Therefore I'll be out of range of my blog until mid-August, so I'll leave you with some self-congratulatory tidbits.

My short story "Manhattanhenge" is going to be published in Bamboo Ridge Issue 98. I've cleaned up the typos considerably since I posted it on my blog last summer. It's the only piece of creative writing I've actually finished in the past two years, so it's pretty gratifying to have it published the first place I submitted it.

And the editors at Hawaii Women's Journal read my review of "Inception" and invited me to write a movie column for their October issue.
See? I write!

Aloha and see you in August.
