Jan. - Dec. 2009
Dec. 25, 2009--The publisher of Return of the Raven, the anthology that includes my short story "Feathered Friend," sent contributors an e-mail yesterday. She let us know that Ellen Datlow contacted her to request a copy of the anthology for possible inclusion in her year's best anthology for 2009. What a great Christmas gift.
Dec. 11, 2009--Got an e-mail notifying me that "Florilegium" is now available in Kindle edition at Amazon.com. Check it out at this address: www.amazon.com/Florilegium-ebook/dp/B0030BF164/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260579629&sr=8-5
Nov. 22, 2009--Just got word that the e-book anthology "Florilegium" in which my story "A Dark and Fearsome Beast" appears is complete. I got a pdf copy, and it should be available on Amazon.com around the first of December. Sweet!
Nov. 3, 2009--I'm currently updating my Web pages. There's still a lot of work to be done, so please be patient. You might notice a lot of the links are missing or things have been changed around a bit. This is a work in progress.

It will feature works inspired or influenced by Edgar Allan Poe. My story was specifically written as an homage to the Poe short story, "The Tell-Tale Heart."
Feb. 6, 2009--Good news! PegLeg Publishing, which published one of my stories for their GlassFire Anthology a little over a year ago, invited me to be a paid contributor in their upcoming e-book project slated to be published this summer. Of course, I accepted!
Jan. 1, 2009--Long time, huh? Sorry for the absence, but things have been slow with my fiction writing since I began working as a features writer at the local newspaper in April 2008. In one sense, I am still doing a lot of writing; it's just of the non-fiction variety. I'm still submitting fiction, but my fiction writing had slowed to pretty much nothing. I plan to change that. With the new year comes new determination. Here's to more fiction writing in 2009!
