What is a good read...
I am a member of the SFC (the Speculative Fiction Writers of Canada), as of one year ago. Today somebody asked if there were any members of either goodreads or Librarything. I hadn't heard of either, so I listened intently (how do you listen to a web ring?), Most of the writers who knew said that Goodreads was the place to go.
So, here I am.
I have been writing fiction since the mid-eighties, selling primarily to the horror small press of North America - with early sales to The Horror Show, Cemetery Dance, Flesh & Blood, Karl Edward Wagner's Year's Best Horror and many other markets and magazines. I still write for the horror genre but I have also begun writing for a regional publisher and I have really finally come into my own.
For the most part my regional work is a series of ghost story collections - including Haunted Harbours (2006), Wicked Woods (2008) and Halifax Haunts (2009). I have also recently released a children's picture book - Maritime Monsters. And Nimbus, (my publisher), has just hinted that they might publish my very first YA novel - perhaps by next fall.
Needless to say, I will keep you folks posted.
I still write regularly for Cemetery Dance and was one of their primary book reviewers for at least a year. I've backed out of the book review business - because, although it did pay and I did enjoy recieving free books - I just don't have the time to make that sort of a commitment any more. I am hoping that Goodreads will give me the chance to get back into my book reviewing without having to stress about deadlines and such.
Talk to you later.
