I had to put together a CV to apply for a grant the other day and I realized that I hadn’t pulled together all my cemetery publications since I was looking for a publisher for Wish You Were Here in 2012. Once I had gotten everything collected up, I feel like it’s not very much. So… next year I have a mission to beef-up my publications. Stay tuned.
