Welcome to seanmillersstories.com, my literary e-zine. Browse through my biography, short stories, and excerpts from my first unpublished novel, Regaling on College Street. Please feel free to contact me to correspond about publishing or comment on my work.
My October 2nd, 2008 reading at Max Middle's AB Series was a success, despite a few bumps in the road! Read all about it my newest blog post!
In other news, my multimedia presence expanded with Max Middle's invite to read, including scoring an interview with CHUO's Mitchell Caplan and capping my reading with an interview with CBC's Adrian Harewood. Keep watching this site for possible snippets from both interviews (I'm still in the process of clearing the rights and figuring out the best way to stream them).
My YouTube video has hit a speedbump, but with a quick rethink and some extra time, I hope to be able to post it soon.
I am pleased to announce that I will be reading at Max Middle's AB Series on October 2nd, 2008. The reading will take place at the Ottawa City Hall Art Gallery. Doors open at 7:30 PM and the reading commences at 8 PM.
Max Middle has also kindly arranged for some media notices to appear. The first notice has appeared in the Ottawa Citizen and can be seen on the canada.com website.
I look forward to seeing you at the reading.
To celebrate the summer, my website has been updated with an all new, user-friendly, easy-on-the-eyes template, called darkeffect.
I've also made considerable edits to the content of my site, refining the excerpts to bring out the drama and stimulate more interest in what came before and what will come after. I have added introductory pages for both the Regaling on College Street and Reading Our Contemporaries novel excerpts.
I also realized my titles left something to be desired, so I have retitled some of my excerpts. I hope that, like me, you find these new titles much more exciting than the previous ones.
In other exciting news, I've begun shooting a short YouTube film with a friend of mine from my MA years at Carleton University who has written some introductory notes about myself and my craft for the About the Author section of this site. I don't want to spill the beans too much, but I am really looking forward to the final product.
Keep watching this site for the final product, along with a video of the reading I will be doing at The Max Middle A B Series in the coming months.
I have added Setting it Straight to my Reading Our Contemporaries excerpts. In this excerpt, Julie McSwire takes a look at the web of relationships she encounters during her MA year.
I have decided to include excerpts from my latest novel, Reading Our Contemporaries, as part of my zine. It takes place during the course of an MA English program and is written from the point of view of various protagonists who suffer through their own romances, conflicts and ups and downs (both academic and personal).
I am introducing web readers to this novel through Frank BeCharses, a brilliant but philandering student who runs into a bit of conflict with one of his colleagues. Take a look at the Memories to Forget excerpt to find out what happens.
