Meet Kaelan
I love Kaelan. KKK and I went to grad school together. I call him KKK. I don’t know why.
NOTE: Everything Kaelan stands for is in direct opposition to the beliefs of the Klu Klux Klan foundation.
KKK drives me crazy sometimes (like a son would). But I also adore him. He’s smart and passionate and writes this incredible, exciting prose. He is also right on the cutting edge (yup, I used that term, and I ain’t apologizing) of what is going on in the world of books and literature.
He just moved out to Hollywood and he started a literary journal about a year ago called Flatmancrooked.

Great Online Literary Magazines

Online literary magazineshave long been the sad step-sister of print. But in case you haven’t heard, print’s dying. Instead of wringing your hands over the future of publishing, you could accept that it’s arrived, and that it’s called the Internet.
Online mags have really stepped up their game, and it’s time to pay them a little respect. Below is a selection of some of the best, publications that feature fancy important writers and exciting new ones. They take risks, they surprise and satisfy, they’re free and they don’t kill trees. The future is already happening, you just need to stop ignoring it.
An evolving publishing venture, Flatmancrooked puts out a tri-annual print anthology and will bring out its first book next summer. The site also offers a healthy dose of short fiction and “Raudio” — audible art. The site was recently relaunched, and now offers blog posts on literature in the media and weekly updated features including both fiction and non-fiction.
their first issue. that's kkk there. with a hot girl. of course.
So basically, I’m proud like a mama.
And, the other thing about KKK…he is hilarious (often unintentionally) and always brightens my day. So, on occasions, I will have a KKK moment.
And, since I’m talking about the Klu Klux Klan anyway (there is really no Klan segway that isn’t gonna be somewhat awkward), I thought I’d show you this picture:
The Klan actually adopted a highway in Harrison, Arkansas. I know people who have SEEN it. Creepy, huh?
