Hi Friends,

It’s been TOO LONG since I’ve sent an update. Much has happened. First, I’m taking part in an online reading celebrating my publisher Thirty West’s tenth anniversary of bringing fine literary fiction and poetry into the world. It’s happening on Nov. 5th at 8pm EST. Here’s a link to sign up. Hope you can make it!

My upcoming novel, PEPPERLEAF, is set to be published at the end of May, 2026, by Thirty West. Things are getting going in terms of editing, publicity, book covers, and all that fun stuff. As it gets closer I’ll be updating more on readings, events, interviews, and personal essays.

In March a story of mine, “A Sun Barely Risen, a Sun Nearly Set,” was published in the literary journal Afterimages. You can read it here.

Best,
Ross
