I have been terribly, unforgivably and bizarrely remiss in neglecting to promote my piece on Mary McMyne in 225. She and I had a wonderful series of conversations last year about her novels, both of which are eagerly anticipated and will hopefully find good homes in the future - not just in their publication but on your bookshelves.
Check her website out here. Prepare to bookmark. :)
Post-MFA writer, Emilie Staat, blogs about finishing her novel, freelance writing, music, multitudes of random media and, oh yeah, living in New Orleans
