Finished the rough drfaft for Yellow-Eyes earlier today. Boy, do I feel sad. Of course there is still tons and tons of work to do with it so it's not as if it's really done yet. Any critical feedback as opposed to warm fuzzies would be appreciated. I still like the warm fuzzies (don't get me wrong) because they make me feel encouraged but really I would specifically like feedback on narrative tone (which section you like the bvest in that regard) and any noted inconsistencies. Okay. Thank you, have a great day. That's all the news for this hour.

Several items this day. The anthology for New Voices In Horror will be available as an Ebook and as a paperback. I'm very excited and humbled to be included in that and am forming a deep affinity for NVH. Item number two. I did a short email interview with NVH (much to my surprise and bewilderment)and was extremely flattered to be selected as interview worthy by their staff. The interview will appear in the July-October edition so if you are curious at all, be sure to check it out when the time rolls around. Item number three. My writing has been selected to appear in SNM horror magazine (an ezine) next month with a short story entitled Magnum Opus. This story was submitted to a contest and the selection for publication means that 8 out of 42 entrants were selected and the top three will be announced on (I believe) the 23rd this month. Of course this means I will be chewing my nails for the next week because the winner receives 50 bucks, feature story of the month and is included in the SNM anthology (ebook and paperback) which awards royalty shares to all contributors. Second place is twenty and anthology and third is antholgy. I am hoping to land in the top three as landing in top 8 of 42 ain't too shabby. I continue to be amazed at how well received my work has been lately and am very grateful for it. Well, so long and hopefully I will have more news to post within the next week.

Short Story "Self Help" to be added to NVH best of Anthology. All the details I have for now. I'm guessing it's an ebook...I could be wrong. Either way, I'm flattered like a pancake

Well, I found a home for my only piece of flash fiction on here and am pleased that as of this moment, all but two of the short horrors I have posted on this site now have a home. This latest publishing is at microhorror.com for Did You See That? I am nervously and anxiuosly awaiting to hear back on my two latest submissions and will be chewing my nails.

Published in the current issue of NVH webzine! You can read The Granny Crush (I had edited it down to 5000 words and its a lot smoother)there at www.freewebs.com/nvhmag1/ My writing will also be there next month with Self Help (Also a re-edit) and a short horror entitled The Exhumation of Brother Montoya, which has not been posted here. I don't think that would be very fair to the webzine. Also, i have removed those two stories previously posted here that had been selected.
