The Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

It's no secret that Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and this one is shaping up to be a busy one, writing-wise. I had the good fortune of being solicited for The Lovecraft eZine's annual "Night in the Lonesome October" issue. If you haven't taken a peek at the eZine, I can't recommend it highly enough. The time and attention Mike Davis lavishes on the publication has me coming back both as a contributor and a reader. With stories, art, live chat, articles, and a podcast, the eZine site is easily the equal of many so-called "professional" publications, and superior (at least in my mind) to more than a few.

I should also have stories in upcoming issues of Andromeda Spaceways In-Flight Magazine, Stupefying Stories, and Spaceways and Spidersilk--which should all drop in October or thereabouts. Word on the street is the art is almost finished for "Legends of the Buckeye State," and Shelby Rhodes has just about finished the editing and story order. It's a real honor to have my humble scribblings in an anthology with such horror luminaries as Gary Braunbeck and Lucy Snyder.

The novel is plugging along as well. I've gotten notes back from most of my beta-readers, and am waiting on just a few holdouts. Then it's another rewrite, and off to the agents. If anyone knows of any god, spirit, demon, or alien intelligence capable of assuring literary success at reasonable rates, please refer my name to them. I would regard it as a personal favor, to be returned, in kind, at your earliest convenience.

Lastly, enjoy Autumn, I know I will.
