Greetings! Sorry I have been away for so long! Much has happened and I won't be able to catch up on everything right now, but a few things have happened which bear mentioning.
In June I was interviewed by Daniel Braum for his show, Night Time Logic. Joining me was author Brenda Sue Tolian, who talked about her novel Blood Mountain. We both were interviewed and read excerpts from our recent works. I read Morbidezza, and Gothilocks, both from my Book of Shadows. A YouTube video of the show may be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGy-y...
Recently, I was also selected for a written interview by Sumiko Saulson of the Horror Writer's Association for their LatinX Heritage in Horror. The link for that is here: https://horror.org/latinx-heritage-in...
I have also had various pieces see publication recently in Spectral Realms, and Penumbra, both from Hippocampus Press. https://hippocampuspress.com/
I am presently working on both a chapbook and a collection of poetry & prose for Jackanapes Press. The chapbook will feature diabolical illustrations by UK artist Mutartis Boswell, who has done work for both Jackanapes Press and Hippocampus Press in the past. Boswell and I are collaborating with a friend of mine on a book trailer, which I hope to unveil in the coming weeks.
Speaking of Jackanapes Press, I have also written blurbs for two recent releases of fantastic poetry by my colleagues Scott J. Couturier, and Rebecca Buchanan, respectively. They are both available here: https://www.jackanapespress.com/
Well, that's about all I have for the moment. I promise there will be more to come before the end of the year, and I shall keep you all in the loop as things develop. In the interim, have a safe and Happy Hallowe'en!

Update 02/14/2023
Happy Valentine's Day! As usual, I have been remiss in keeping you all updated on my recent activities, and I apologize for that. I have had a lot on my plate personally and it has taken up a lot of my time and energy.
Anyway, moving on, I had a reprint of my poem Thalía in the anthology Vampiricon: Imaginings and Images of the Vampire, edited by Frank Coffman and published by Mind's Eye Publishing.
Spectral Realms #18 is now available from Hippocampus Press and contains my poem, Love Song of the Lugubrious Gondolier.
A Walk in a City of Shadows: Tales of Urban Legendry (Alien Sun Press) is a new anthology from the folks that brought you A Walk in a Darker Wood. My poem Beware the Slenderman makes its debut here.
Lastly, I am still working on my chapbook, The Burning Ember Mission of Helldorado & Others, which is slated to be released by Jackanapes Press, sometime in the coming months. We are currently doing final drafts and layouts and incorporating the amazing artwork by UK artist Mutartis Boswell. More info on that as things develop.

Preorders live for new book!
Preorders are live at Jackanapes Press for my upcoming book, The Burning Ember Mission of Helldorado. It sports a fantastic cover by Dan Sauer Design featuring the sublimely macabre artwork of UK artist Mutartis Boswell, who also provides several ghoulish illustrations throughout the book. Although it will eventually become available on Amazon, folks who order it from the publisher will also get free access codes for an audio recording of a recitation I did of all the poetry and a couple prose selections from the book with appropriately atmospheric musical accompaniment.
