April 1st, 2008 - Well, it's happened again. It seems because of health issues Dark Eden Press is closing. This means my story "Wild Things" will be looking for a new home. I have a few ideas on expanding the story, and resubmitting someplace else, so stay turned. The other novella cut short before its time, "Bloodstained Innocence", is being worked on as we speak and may be ready to seek a home again soon. We wish Debra a speedy recovery, and hope to see her active in the literary circle again soon. DEP was a newer press, but they had style.
March 19th, 2008 - Natural Order has been contracted by PD Publishing for a release date of Summer 2009. If I'm lucky it might be just in time for Saints and Sinners Literary Festival and Wiscon!
and I have five flash fiction stories coming out from a LGBT horror anthology called Chilling Tales of Terror and the Supernatural being published by PD Publishing Summer of 2009 and edited by the amazing Patty G Henderson, author of the Brenda Strange series. The anthology includes such authors as Mark Apoapsis, Victor J. Banis, Barbara L. Clanton, Patty G. Henderson, Amy J. Ira, Paul Milliken, Rick R. Reed, Crystal Michallet-Romero, Hayden Thorne, Fran Walker, MJ Williamz, and of course yours truly. With a cast like this it's sure to be a thrill fest.
