If you’re on Goodreads, do me a favor and add The Suburban Swindle to one of your list.
I’ll think you’re just swell.
(And thanks to Steve Himmer for putting it on there in the first place. That was a really pleasant surprise.)
If you want me to send you some stickers to put up in your area, lemme know.

Ananda Selah Osel interviewed me for the kick-ass poetry & interviews site, The CommonLine Project.
I did a super-short story and an interview for Nick Ostdick’s site. It was a lot of fun.
Check it out.
Nick edits RAGAD, a literary broadside and online magazine.
Here are some samples of David Barringer’s interior design for The Suburban Swindle:
You can now pre-order my short story collection, The Suburban Swindle, over at my publisher’s site.
Price is $10 plus $2.50 shipping.
I can’t thank David Barringer enough. Look at the beautiful cover he designed for me:
“Sharp, bold, and deeply affecting, Jackie Corley’s stories are like poetry made from the gritty stuff of hard-scrabble life. Dead garden snakes and forgotten video games, gravestone statues that seem to dance in the night: in Corley’s able hands, the mundane, even the ugly, are transformed. The young men and women who struggle through her slim, piercing collection, stay with you long after you’ve finished reading; tough-talking and scarred, tattooed and tender, they search Corley’s dirty, sparkling New Jersey streets for something always just out of reach.
“A fiercely original debut. Corley is a talent to watch.”
-Scott Snyder, author of Voodoo Heart
