Happy Holidays 2011

This time of year finds me working hard on The Gravediggers and Cursing the Darkness, anticipating the arrival of "Hide the Weird" in the upcoming Winter 2012 issue of Space and Time Magazine, and waiting to sign a contract for a very short nonfiction piece I just sold a few days ago. A few other stories are out pounding the internet pavement. Reading, writing, taking care of the new house and hangin' with my better half. What's better than that?

I hope this time of year finds you well. Happy holidays, all, and happy New Year!!!

Thanks, Namzola! I wish I had some published novels to sign, but that's what 2012's for!!! Right now, nothing to sign, but I'm open to ideas!

Latest Update

"Pink Lemonade," a free story about a detective who profiles and follows a possible rapist, has been purchased and published by OverMyDeadBody.com and appears there now. Read it at this link. Click on Fiction to the right. Mine's the first story. Thanks!

"Everything's Connected," a free story about a detective who catches a cheating spouse in the act (sort of), solves a kid's disappearance, and proves a little theoretical quantum physics--all in fewer than 2,000 words!--has been purchased by Over My Dead Body! The Mystery Magazine Online. It's available for free now at overmydeadbody.com. Just scroll down to August, 2014 and click the title link. Again, it's free!

"The Zombie's Lament," about a guy who loses the love of his life, gets bitten in the face by a zombie, and tries to apologize to his beloved before he turns--or dies. Rights were purchased by the good people at Big Pulp for an anthology series to be published in two volumes, both available via Kindle, online, and in print. Volume One is out right now. Volume Two--which will have my story--in April 2015.

"So Many Reasons to Celebrate the Season," a free story about how a best-selling author deals with a collapsing marriage on Christmas Eve, was published by On the Premises (Link: http://www.onthepremises.com/) on March 10th, in Issue #19. Use the link above, then click on "Latest Issue (March 2013)" and then click on "So Many Reasons to Celebrate the Season," four stories down on the page. Check out other good stories in that publication as well. It's all free. When you're done, please go to this blog entry and leave a comment. Let me know what you think. Thanks! Did I say it's free?

"Someone to Come Home to," a short nonfiction piece about how adopting a greyhound bettered my life, is currently in an anthology, for ten bucks, on Amazon. If you'd like to read a few short pieces about how to manage some of the anxiety that life often throws at you, just click the icon on the right side of this screen.

"An Old Man," a poem about perseverance in the shadow of our own deaths, has been sold to the good people at Lost Tower Publications, to be included in an anthology due to be published in the next three-to-five months. 10% of all profits goes to Mind U.K., a mental health charity in the United Kingdom.

"Hide the Weird," my first published short story, is in Space and Time Magazine's Spring 2012 Issue, #116. Please go to http://www.spaceandtimemagazine.com/ and order it from there. Send me an email and let me know what you thought of the story!
