NANO Fiction has accepted some of my work for their upcoming issue. They're based out of Houston.

I was in Houston once. I saw Will Oldham and BrightBlack MorningLight at this place -

It is called The Oranges Show. It is an outdoor amphitheater fun house built by a truck driver who loved Oranges. It hosts a lot of ceramic creatures that boast placards of mythic folklore, all involving oranges.

The venue is the middle of a suburban neighborhood. Its down the street from a terrible river. Before the show, we watched these odd Texas fish jump out six, maybe seven feet at air to catch bugs. Will Oldham played for the three hours, even when the sky opened up and rain came down and thunder and lightning.
It was one of the best nights of my life.
