Panther City Review Launch

I am happy to announce that Panther City Review 2018 will launch at the Funkytown Creative Arts Lounge in Fort Worth at 4 pm on Saturday, August 18. The Creative Arts Lounge, which is located in the Fort Worth Stockyards, holds a special place in my heart. Not only is it the place where Waylon County: Texas Stories was launched, it is within moseying distance of the packing houses where three generations of my family worked.

Two of my new stories, "Honkytonking with the Silver Strings" and "The Pregnancy Test," will appear in this year's Panther City Review. Both stories are set in Waylon County and will likely be included in my next collection. Other writers in the anthology include Donna Walker-Nixon, editor of the acclaimed Her Texas: Story, Image, Poem & Song, filmmaker and writer Mark A. Nobles, author of Fort Worth's Rock and Roll Roots, and Rachel Pilcher, publisher at Sleeping Panther Press. More updates will be coming soon.
