Dear creative writers, don’t quit your day jobs! That’s usually a bad idea. Use what happens in your day jobs as material for your writing, especially if it’s a weird day job and if it drives you crazy. The hardest, saddest jobs inspire the best story material!— megpokrass (@megpokrass) January 9, 2019
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).

Meg's Twisdom

April 28 (Meg Pokrass's impending fame)
The Less United States of Kudera is not doing nearly enough to advocate for Meg Pokrass, and all the Meg Pokrasses of the world, who could be delivering to us juicy, tell-all memoirs of their moderately famous authority figures, bosses in particular, with just a pinch of fiction to make it even more enticing and fun. Of course, instead, Meg chooses the high road and posts only about all things evangelical and Romnified as well as word lists we are to use to impress our own minions. Our peeps, as it were, or perhaps the Gud Christian youts we have opportunity to speechify in front of.
Here she is on full display:
And then here she is moving up in the world:
But for the most part, she tends to her own flock and generously gives back to the literary community by interviewing and being interviewed by various folks writing in the current moment. Writing now, as it were. What I should be doing as I'm almost certain that blogging doesn't count. Or maybe it does? I don't know. I never receive lashes.
And now it's time to buy Meg's microfiction!
But the amazon link is just so you can see the glowing reviews; if this is one you might like, then please do buy local from your favorite indy store. (Fight for Your Long Day, of course, should only be purchased as the lowest "like new" copy available everywhere Jeff Bezos is selling us vacuum cleaners.)
Leave me alone. Please?
Okay, but not before I provide this sneak preview of what we've all been reading about.
Damn Sure Right!

April 12 (Meg Pokrass asks Frances Lefkowitz)
Over at Jurgen Fauth's fictionaut, a social-media site for fiction readers and writers, I posted a story for the first time, and also found Meg Pokrass's new interview with Frances Lefkowitz.
Below is a photograph of the serious-minded fool, aka me, immersed in egg salad on wheat and Lefkowitz's To Have Not. I'm washing it all down with sweet tea at The Starving Artist Cafe, a pleasant establishment across the wide road from Poor Richard's Booksellers in Easley, South Carolina.
