Good news for me . . . and I hope my readers

As some MEXIGUANA readers know, I publish online. Today I received an acceptance from Mad Scientist Journal for a fake classified ad for a past-o-tron. I'll even get a token payment. The ad will appear in the summer edition of this witty webside that parodies science writing every week..

A reprint of my flash fiction story, The Revenge of the Pasta, is due online later this month on Indiana Voice Journal. I sneaked in because my family vacationed in the Indiana dunes one summer...

My story Dr. Octopus, that I read locally at an open mic night here, will appear mid-month on Short Fiction Break..

Cervantino Day 12: International PEN table at Plaza de los Angeles

I'm with Lucina here before things got noisy;
soon people were stopping by 

The active San Miguel chapter of International PEN, mounted an information in Plaza de los Angeles during the afternoon. The first hour and a half went well with people stopping by but later PEN could not compete with the clowns. Bob Broughton, Tony Cohan, Lucina Kathmann (from SMA; the international vice-president of PEN) and I took part. Table on loan from Bharati Restaurant; La Catrina nearby one of several Guanajuato businesses letting us post announcements.

Another PEN stalwart, Bob Broughton

www.redroom.com just published my article: Guanajuato: Europe in Mexico. It's longer and more detailed than my posts here, mainly focusing on what a visitor can do in three days in this "spritzer city." After clicking the site, type my name Rochelle Cashdan in the Search box, then click the third item to reach my blog there.
