Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 3/24 - Teasing Elephants

I'm thrilled to announce the publication of a new short story collection by Jen Knox, who I was privileged to hear read at an event in Manhattan a couple of years ago. Her latest is Don't Tease the Elephants, and its is available in Kindle for just $2.99. She writes about the human experience, the things common to us all, with grace and wit. Here are excerpts from her bio at Amazon:

Jen Knox earned her MFA from Bennington College in 2010. She works as a creative writing professor at San Antonio College and copy editor at Frost & Sullivan. Jen mentors for the PEN American Center. She was nonfiction editor for The Bennington Review (2010) and Quiz & Quill (2007). She worked as a fiction reader for Our Stories Literary Journal and now reads submissions for PANK. She has won the Global Short Story Competition and was chosen for Wigleaf's 2012 Top 50. Her chapbook, The Aquarium, earned finalist status in the Black Lawrence Press's 2012 Black River Chapbook competition. Her online work and some links to print can be read here: Http://www.jenknox.com Jen is the author of story collections Musical Chairs and To Begin Again (Winner of the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Award in Short Fiction and the Readers Favorite Award in Women's Fiction), and she is a contributing author to the Short Story America Anthology.

Although three of my Final Four selections are still alive, as well as my finalists, a lot of the teams I selected to advance to the Sweet 16 have had their dreams shattered. I amassed 390 points through the first two rounds. The leaders -- and there are plenty of them -- have 590. Wait 'til next year.

 

The third episode of Resurrection was just as engrossing as the first two. A third person presumed dead has returned to the small town. I hope the great sense of mystery is not spoiled by a silly resolution.

 

I went back to winter hours, 11:30-1, for the floating book shop, as it was so cold, despite brilliant sunshine. And the forecast calls for snow tomorrow and dangerous winds on Wednesday. Sucks. My thanks to the two kind souls who bought books today.
