Mutable Sound to Publish Colin Winnette’s REVELATION

Mr. Winnette.

Which is “his retelling of the popular bible story about the end of the world. However, in Winnette’s version, the end of the world is a mundane affair that goes unnoticed by his protagonists.”

Colin’s a friend of mine whose writing I really admire. I’ve read two other manuscripts of his, both excellent, leaving me very excited about this new one… You can read a bit more about him in this Mutable post and at his website.

Also, Colin is currently on tour with the poet Benjamin Clark. The schedule is here; I’ll post the remaining dates below. (The last two readings will be in Chicago.)

Congratulations, Colin!
