Hotch Potch – A New Literary ‘Zine, just published and ready for your hungry eyes. Hallo, Friends and Neighbors! I’m thrilled to announce an exciting new online literary magazine.

Here it is, my lovely readers, a straight shot to Hotch Potch Volume One Issue One at Issuu:
Hotch Potch features two new stories by Yours Truly. These never-before-seen stories, “Fado Valletta” and “Spiccato” take their proud places in the wonderful new online literary journal. Please check them out along with the other fine literary offerings in Hotch Potch.
What happens when you gather up a group of writers and artists, throw them in a cauldron of creativity, then give them a good stir and simmer? Stories! Art! More! This is the Hotch Potch Mission:
We are a stew. A quilt. A jam band.
Chaos. Dexterity. Precipice.
Concocting. Hatching. Dazzling.
A bunch of bitchy buds. Wacky whizzes. Sprightly speculators.
We long to belong.
As a collective, we want to discover, delight, differentiate. We want to provoke and unify, collaborate to share stories and images, to experience what it means to create together, to redefine and expand our own creative processes. We make art to share with curious fellow travelers like you.
Hotch Potch began seven months ago with a few tentative emails and the germ of an idea. A whole lot of work went into the concepts, the stories, and the artwork. Next step: ladle all of those fine ingredients into the creative cauldron, simmer and bubble. Stir, stir, stir! Next step: turn all of that fine stew over to the layout grunt (that would be yours truly). Bubble, bubble, bubble! Then, a month of layout work, revisions, then more layout work.
In the end, a shining sunrise, a moment to savor, and the deadline is met! Yee Haw, and other various exclamatory whatnot! Bottom line, check out this lovely new literary ‘Zine, live now for your reading pleasure. It’s here, my Lovely Readers! Mark it, Dude: mark it Hotch Potch.
