some forthcoming publications

For those interested, I'll list below some things that I've recently finished publication-wise that are due to appear sooner rather than later (I should note that some of these have been a year or longer in wait, but that is typical from what I've experienced in my short writing career thus far).  My first book took nearly two years to appear in print.

I am really doing this just so I myself am clear that I really do have a clean plate at the moment and am ready to gear up and put more things in the publication pipeline.  For the moment though it does feel good to have a clean plate and take a breather.

Forthcoming...

"Aesthetic Value in Peirce's Theistic Naturalism" in The Peirce Quote Book: Semiotics, Communication, and Cognition (Mouton De Gruyter)
