Epiphany Literary Journal, Fall, 2015, Bent But Not Broken: A Penis Adventure

Hello Friends, Blog Readers and those who have stumbled upon Open Trench by mistake.

I am proud to share the news that the first chapter of my manuscript, Bent But Not Broken: A Penis Adventure, has been published in the esteemed literary journal, Epiphany.

The Fall issue is entitled Pent Up Humanity.

Nice, right?

$13 for this issue,
$20 for a year's subscription (Fall and Spring)

Purchase Here at any time:  http://epiphanyzine.com/

Bent But Not Broken: A Penis Adventure is a humorous romp through the medical treatment and relationship torture of acquiring a penis disease.  You'll have to read the whole book one day to see how it turns out.

The Company of Writers: I Highly Recommend

Dear Readers of my blog, friends on earth, and writers who mean business,

I had the great fortune to work with Jotham Burrello at The Yale Writers' Conference last year and now I hear there is something for all of us to join and to work at any time:


The Company of Writers


Work with Jotham and you will be very pleased. He is clear headed, very much passionate (in the least corny sense) about writing.  Smart and fast.

Check it out.

Do yourself a favor.

And it's gonna be a movie.

So, I get these discounts...and here it is for you. Go see it. I mean it.
