Missing blog posts
If you've followed my blog posts in the past through Goodreads, you may have noticed that the blog posts have been missing since early December.
For some unknown technical reason, the blog posts have not been picking up from my personal web site during that time. Goodreads fixed it today, so posts should now start coming through. Yay! :)
Cheers!

To start, can you tell me a little about yourself.

Today, please welcome author, Steve
How long have you been writing and how did you get to this point in your career?
Ever since I was a child, I would annoy my parents with some truly awful stories written with crayon and construction paper. My mom encouraged me anyway, and gave me an electronic word processor. Somewhere, there's a floppy disc...

Horror Books of Interest – Guido Henkel's Curse of Kali
