Everybody, a very merry and happy to all. Some updates:
Right now, I’ve got a bunch of stuff out:
J. J. Adams’ Anthology BRAVE NEW WORLDS received a starred review from PW, and is getting universally praised. It includes my stories “Independence Day” along with some seriously amazing fiction. You can buy it in stores, online at Amazon or B&N, as an e-book, or from the publisher.
Harison How’s Anthology DARKNESS ON THE EDGE: STORIES INSPIRED BY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, which originally published “Independence Day” is also out now, and available from PS Publishing. Big thanks to Howe and PS editor Peter Crowther for allowing the reprint, and commissioning the story to begin with.
The first season of Tales From Beyond the Pale is still going strong. Do yourself a favor and buy the whole season. I wrote “Is This Seat Taken.” The hubby’s story is “Johnny Boy” starring Boardwalk Empire’s own Shea Whigham.
My story “Hindsight” is part of the October issue of “Lightspeed Magazine.” You can read it online, or purchase the e-issue.
My story “Are You Trying To Tell Me This is Heaven?” is collected in John Joseph Adams’ anthology LIVING DEAD 2. Starred PW Review.
Paul Tremblay’s awesome collection IN THE MEAN TIME is out in audio. Each story is read by a fellow writer, and there are some pretty cool names attached. Low down on the cool level, you’ll find me, reading “The Two Headed Girl.”
Thrillers: 100 Must Reads is out from Oceanview Publishing. A prettwide-ranging collection. My personal essay is on Robert Louis Stevenson, whom I learned to admire while researching his life. Buy it here.
Mark Morris’ CINEMA FUTURA, published by PS is also now out. I’s comprised of 60 essays written by genre writers on their favorite sci-fi movies. I picked “Donnie Darko,” because “Donnie Darko” is awesome. You can buy it here.
I’m updating my website, and will be offering a bunch of old published stories for free. My novels are still available. If they’re not in your local bookstore, throw some hands.
Other stuff: Still working on the fourth novel, the YA, and the screenplay. Progress continues, so hold on to your hats and other assorted parts.
