It's always exciting to be part of something brand new (even if my contribution to it is minimal, and sort of old at that). But I wanted to share a link to the new site for Farrago's Wainscot, a fascinating new online magazine that will be reprinting my story "Gunning for the Buddha," along with work from some other very, very fine writers (see below!).

The creators of the magazine also have a new journal where you can pick up the latest and greatest info about the site. Here's a snippet of what the magazine is about:

"Farrago's Wainscot is an exhibition of weirds, an almanac of experimentation, decay, and the problems with form. We present ideas: stories that estrange themselves, articles on anything from wormholes to haberdashery, poetry that makes of metaphor a transubstantial sigh - a hesitation at the thresholds of contemporary consciousness and interstitial art. Our reviews may tie literature to time-slips and hedgerows, or they may simply laud the delicate sea-tang in an Islay single-malt."

Mmm... Wormholes and Scotch.

Oooh -- I just checked out the site and found the following info on the blog:

We're very pleased to announce the following contributors to the 2007 exhibition at Farrago's Wainscot:
Forrest Aguirre: "The Yellow Baron," "Clover"
Michael Jasper: "Gunning for the Buddha"
Paul Jessup: "Apple Magick"
E. Sedia: "Miranda"
Mark Teppo: "The Oneiromantic Mosaic of Harry Potemkin"
Haj Ross: "16 pensamentos para pregar na porta da geladeira" [16 thoughts to pin on the refrigerator door]

Sweet!

So go, check it out, and think strange thoughts about syntax, semiotics, and self as a result!

Later...
