Kim, delighted that you read and enjoyed “Che at Barnes & Noble.” Thank you.

Robert Crisman, 19 hours ago

Kim, thanks for your comments on The ‘08 Campaign and the Katrina story.
History is the most important subject of all, because if you don’t know who, what, and where you’ve been, how can you know who, what, and where you are now? Yet year after year high school students point to history as the subject they hate most. Just one more indication of just how radically fucked-up America society is.

Finnegan Flawnt, Dec 20

kim, picture dreams is so marvelous…your whole film maker’s sensibility awakening to a fictional dream. is matchbook going to publish this? your comments (in the review) will be fascinating to read, i am sure. i’m asking cuz i would like to submit to matchbook myself. at some point. when i have something worthwhile to share.

Finnegan Flawnt, Dec 19

kim just made a comment on waiting for the light in hidden workshop. unusually for me i’m giving quite a lot of detail because the story touched me. it’s a great scene and imagery. it looks like a small part of something larger though…hope my remarks are helpful. i am new at giving remarks and i dont have the thickest skin myself so…just wanted to say i really liked it and my thoughts were made in that spirit!

Darryl Price, Dec 18

I appreciated your comments about “Magnum Opus”, Kim.

Following an extended separation, for the moment I’m reconciled with my daughter’s mother. “This Was Something She Would Miss” hit me where I lived.

Gary Percesepe, Nov 22

hi kim,

so pleased you are here at fictionaut—and thanks again for reading my work.

i see you have made a short—-the narrator of my nere novel, LEAVING TELLURIDE, is a failed filmmaker, a guy who made a few shorts that caused some buzz at sundance, then dropped out of sight, and wound up on wall street (sigh).

i look ofrward to reading/viewing your work.

go canada.
