Kind of a Hurricane Press still needs submissions for an upcoming anthology . .

Life is a Roller Coaster

     Theme:  Amusement Parks

     Deadline:  July 31, 2014

 

*Please note, as there has been some recent confusion regarding this: the titles of the anthologies and the themes are not one in the same.  The theme of the poem/prose pieces submitted do not need to reflect the title of the anthologies (in fact, we would prefer they do not), only the theme as listed below the title..

 

For details check out the guidelines page:  HERE

In our latest attempt to expand our reaches, Kind of a Hurricane Press has created a new Book Review Site:

 

Black & White Gets Read

 

For this new site, we are looking for authors who are interested in having their poetry collection or chapbook reviewed by our staff editors, and we are also looking for third-party reviews of poetry, flash or fiction collections or chapbooks. See guidelines on the site for more information. http://blackandwhitegetsread.blogspot.com/

"Hangover Cure"

I've finally made the big time. My song lyrics "Hangover Cure" have just been published in the West Sound Brewers August 2005 newsletter. They're a "homebrewing and beer appreciation club in Kitsap County, Washington". 

Apparently the editor entered such terms as "lyrics", "country", "beer", and "blues" into Yahoo! and Google and came up with mine, along with some pretty good company such as Hank Williams, Jr., C. W. McCall, and Jimmy Witherspoon. 

With such titles as "Sell A Lot Of Beer", "Beer Man", "Beer and Bones", "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On", and "Beer Drinkin' Woman" I feel right at home. I always knew if I couldn't find a market for my stuff anywhere else, the beer lovers would take me in. 

I wonder if their songs are based on a true story like mine is (from college years ago).

Or, for a real hangover cure. .
