Think you know your spooky creatures? Here's a Halloween quiz from Merriam-Webster worthy of SFF fans:
Here Be Dragons: A Creature Identification Quiz
Here Be Dragons: A Creature Identification Quiz

Just released! Killing it Softly 2
A reprint horror anthology containing one of my short stories
has released just in time for Halloween.
Better still, the 500+ page anthology is on sale
for just 99 cents until Nov. 1st!
Wow, has it been a long time since I posted last! A bit of that was due to being busy and a bit of that was intentional while some things shifted around. Here's what's been going on lately:
The New News.
The bad: Shirtsleeve Press, the publisher for A Borrowed Hell, decided to close their doors as of October 1st, meaning that A Borrowed Hell has gone temporarily dark. There are no ebook links that are still live. Currently there's just the Goodreads link, and one print link left on Amazon (which says there's one copy left, but I have my doubts that the sale would go through).
The good: It looks like a new publisher is planning to pick up the book and re-release it, hopefully in the next few months! YAY! I'll update as soon as I know more.
The vague hint: Got some news the other day that's too early to share, but hope to be able to share soon about a brand new book of mine!

The Old News (or How I Spent My Summer).
I delved into teaching in the past few months. I taught a multi-session seminar on improving prose at Pueblo's main library, gave my first conference presentation at Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers annual September conference, and this past weekend, participated in MileHiCon's Author's Row. Hope to be doing more presentations in the near future and will post scheduled appearances here on the homepage.
