Soft Re-Opening!

Sorry I've been gone for so long!  Life has its way of rushing past you in a blink. But I am back at it now and ready to re-open Kind of a Hurricane Press!

This is going to be a small-scale re-opening. We are going to start by re-opening one on-line journal, Pyrokinection.  Please not it will no longer be a daily posting journal, but a weekly publishing online journal. We may revert back to the daily posts in the future, but for current time-management purposes, it will be weekly. How many poems/poets I will be publishing each week will depend on you.  I don't want to set to many rules and boundaries. We're just gonna go with the flow.

Additionally, I will be announcing one anthology theme and deadline in the next month or so.  This will be a digital anthology for sure, possibly a print anthology.  Again, depending on how things go.

I will be announcing new guidelines for all of this very soon.

I have missed you all and cannot wait to see what you have been up to while I was gone!

Secrets & Dreams is now available!!!!

In creating the first anthology of 2016, Secrets & Dreams (346 pages), Kind of a Hurricane Press asked our authors to delve into the deepest and darkest aspects of their lives – their secrets and their dreams.  The result was as magical as it was divers. As always, our authors filled our pages with wild and wide-reaching imagination. We believe Secrets & Dreams will connect with all of our readers. Enjoy.

Storm Cycle 2015 is Now Available!!!!!!

Storm Cycle 2015:  The Best of Kind of a Hurricane Press (432 pages) is a compilation of the editors' favorite pieces from the six 2015 online journals as well as our six 2015 print anthologies.  A tireless search for poetic talent proved exceptionally fruitful, and the selection process for this anthology was brutal.  After a great deal of reading, re-reading, and discussion, the editors amassed an extremely diverse and eclectic body of work to put forth to represent what Kind of a Hurricane Press is about:  publishing the best poetry and flash fiction being crafted today.

Happy Holidays is now available!!!

In creating the sixth anthology of 2015 (160 pages), Kind of a Hurricane Press asked our authors to celebrate our favorite holidays:  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas, and New Years.  The result was magical, to say the least. As always, our authors filled our pages with amazing creations. We believe Happy Holidays! will connect with all of our readers with joy and celebration. Enjoy.
