New Writing (Book)

The Accuracy of Third Eye Blind is available as a free PDF download from the Daily Drunk. The chapbook is about how the titles of the songs on Third Eye Blind’s debut album predicted the major events of my life from 2010 onward. I thought I would post about this separately than new short story news. It’s a good companion piece to my upcoming memoir.
