		<description><![CDATA[The path to book sales shouldn’t be paved with white smiles and checkerboard slacks. When dealing with a product that has neither life-sustaining value nor infomercial superfluence, sales might best be treated as a byproduct of a well-manicured relationship. One between author and audience, as well as among the audience members themselves. Book groups exist. George Foreman Grill groups do not. Which is why world of mouth is a valuable route to book sales. People talking and sharing opinions, with &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/marketing/authors-are-prostitutes/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another fine yarn from ye olde Caleb J Ross takes valuable web space away from more needy charities. This one, an excerpt from my unpublished novel, Stranger Will, is called Formaldehyde and appears at the never disappointing Red Fez. Formaldehyde is a bastardized version of the opening chapter of Stranger Will, very much pulled apart and reassembled into something with its own horrible intentions. This is all to say that if you don&#8217;t like this story, then you may still &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/publication-annoucements/red-formaldehyde-the-most-delicious-kind/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

Featuring fiction by Alan Kelly, Jim Meirose, Robert Edward Sullivan, Robert Dando, the always impressive Christopher J. Dwyer, the always disappointing Caleb J Ross, THE Richard Thomas, V Ulea, Sam Szanto, and the get-your-autographs-now-because-he-will-be-dead-(and-famous)-someday Nik Korpon. Also, crammed inside is an interview with China Miéville. I&#8217;m so damn happy to share page space with names like these. &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/publication-annoucements/the-dust-and-the-brush-meet/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second annual issue of The Literary House Review has just been released. Why should you care? My story, &#8220;The Camp,&#8221; appears within. That&#8217;s why. Never mind that the publication contains 232 pages of genre and non-genre, commercial and literary fiction, along with poems enough to erect a mansion &#8211; albeit one inconveniently susceptible to moisture (guess what paper, you make a better art medium than a wall!). Never mind that The Review is available to buy here or here &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/publication-annoucements/the-camp-moves-into-the-literary-house/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

I can&#8217;t remember where I first heard about it (probably from Dogmatika, where I hear about most every great thing in the underground lit scene), so I can&#8217;t place praise with full accuracy. However, I can pass on the good word. And what better way to do so than via the news of my own story, &#8220;Snake Girl at Scab,&#8221; getting some page space.

Now What? which I called, in my Depraved Press review, &#8220;one of the best novels of 2007.&#8221; I know what you are thinking &#8211; favors, right? &#8211; but know that I didn&#8217;t even know about None of This Will Do.

		<description><![CDATA[The interview is a rare opportunity to experience the inner workings of a person. Unless that person likes to call himself a writer, then the interview is just old news to those who&#8217;ve read his stories. Fiction can be the ultimate autobiography, though a structured and controlled autobiography it is. Fiction is makeup.So what&#8217;s a writer to do when he wants to wash away the mascara? He answers some questions in an attempt to categorize his life, similar to the &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/media/those-of-a-life-remembered/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any form of expression is arguably one committed &#8220;under the influence.&#8221; What we eat, what we say, how we walk—hell, human beings simply walking is really just a biological influence. But historically, for writers, one of the most iconic influences of all time is Absinthe—The Green Muse; a devastating liquor. Everyone from Ernest Hemmingway (his short story &#8220;Hills Like White Elephants&#8221; comes to mind) to Joey Goebel (with his novel Torture the Artist) has capitalized on the image of Absinthe. &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/publication-annoucements/under-the-influence/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Online literary magazines seemed to me for the longest time some form of blasphemy. Not much compares to the tactile and aesthetic appeal of a printed, bound journal. Maybe that sounds a little creepy, but I&#8217;m a creepy guy. So when writer and friend Christopher Dwyer posted over at Write Club about this online lit-mag called Dogmatika I wasn&#8217;t exactly crushing keys to get over there. But call me a convert.Dogmatika was the eye opener. It stands as not only &#8230; <a href="http://www.calebjross.com/publication-annoucements/a-guilty-conscious/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>
