An incredible Conflux Weekend, culminating in being honored by the committee and voters with this wholly unexpected award. Grateful doesn’t begin to described it. I am totally floored. Congrats to all the finalists and winners, especially pals J.Ashley Smith (Best Novella) and the divine Kaaron Warren (Best Collection, Best Short Story). Aside from that, it…
I’ll be running a workshop called Writing Horror With Heart as part of Alex Davis’s Winter Haunts Event, on November 6, a day of panels, workshops and talks about ghosts and ghost stories and the supernatural. Hope to see you there!
Here is the book trailer for Collision, and it is killer. Thanks to Meerkat Press for being a creative force in their own right, and one to be reckoned with.

In the next couple of hours/days I’ll be posting some reviews, interviews and just general stuff about Collision, my new collection of stories and a novella out from Meerkat Press. For now though, thanks are due to Meerkat Press, especially Tricia Reeks, who is as smart and unstoppable as they come. Matthew Bialer, I literally…
Townsend Walker over at NY Journal Of Books had this drop today – 15 February EST, the day Collision: Stories is unleashed on the world. Needless to say, I’m honored, stoked and you know, overwhelmed. “J. S. Breukelaar is a writer of obvious talent, demonstrated over and over in this collection.” The 12 stories in…
April 4. Always a good time mixing things up at LitReactor.
Alvaro Zinos-Almaro reviews Collision, beautifully, at Intergalactic Medicine Show. More than honored by this. Though she wasn’t born in the South, her stories evoke for me the same drawling sense of pocket-universe skewedness as Howard Waldrop’s best, perhaps filtered through a more contemporary sensibility; a time-lapsed version of Stephen Graham Jones’s back-country, tooth-bearing fictions, with…
Thanks to Linda Hepworth at NB magazine for this 5-start review of Collision. Cool that Keith Rosson’s illustrations get a nod, too.
