  Curious about how the relationships among you and your neighbors, strangers in the neighborhood, friends, and family affect your life? You think they don’t? Read on.

My chapbook – Lot for Sale. No Pigs – is intended for readers interested about what goes on in other peoples lives. How alike, weird, or likely weird are we?

Lot for Sale. No Pigs was produced in cooperation with Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School in Midland, Pennsylvania. The printing was handset and then hand-fed on an American Printing Machines press. Lots of hand-work and care went into each copy, and I’m very pleased and grateful to Deanna Baringer, Bailey, and the other student editors for choosing my work and showcasing it in such a creative manner.

The book can be purchased from BatCat Press.
