Mid-July Update with News, Links, and Pics

I submitted to the last two Blood Bound Books anthologies. Alas, though my stories were short-listed, I did not make the final cut. Rather than dwell on any disappointment I might feel, I'd rather revisit one of my biggest successes as a writer: having my Civil War-era "weird tale", Life and Limb, published in BBB's "Blood Rites" anthology, which also features stories by Brian Lumley, Maria Alexander, Daniel O'Connor, Lisa Morton, Joe McKinney, Aric Sundquist and many more! I read the whole anthology cover to cover and didn't think there was a bad story in the bunch.

Here is a link to a new online 'zine called Chrome Baby. I believe it is the sister site to Bairn. At any rate, transgressive sci-fi seems to be what they're all about and I am pleased to announce that my story, "METSYS" will be published there in August!

From editor Robin Dunn: "This is an astonishingly beautiful story I would be honored to publish." Direct link to follow.

Just finished my final edits on "Coke Mule Deer" which will be included in Diabolic Tales III, to be released on Halloween of this year. I am very pleased with the improvements in the story. The original version of the story was picked up not once, but twice! But both projects were cancelled. Third time will be the charm! 

Here's the cover. It's pretty epic!

========================================================================

Finally, don't forget the July 26th issue of Woman's World will feature my solve-it-yourself mystery "Coin Return". Circulation is 1.6 million, so that's pretty darn cool.

MORE UPDATES SOON!

Thanks for reading!
