Bestiary Chapter 12

Is now up in the Free Fiction section! There’ll only be one more chapter after this until Bestiary’s release (as I’d hate to spoil the ending before the fact). I’ll either provide behind the scenes production information or one of my previously published short stories every Tuesday after next week. Then, we’ll finish this up and move on to the next project in progress.

Sorry for the Delay

My apologies for the delay in the next installment of Bestiary. Unfortunately, my computer had some issues thanks to some malware in an e-mail and it took a little more time than I would’ve like to sort it out. I’ll have the new chapter up Wednesday afternoon.

New Article Up (Writing Villains)

Because every good hero needs a good villain.

Good News!

I’ve decided to offer a news update in lieu of an article this week.

A few years ago, I wrote my first novel (Surviving the Crash). The book was accepted by a publisher in 2013, but there were too many iffy terms in the contract for me to sign it. I subbed it to another publisher, KHP, at the very, VERY end of the year and just managed to slide under a deadline I didn’t even know existed. They have since requested the full manuscript. So, I should be able to tell you all if the novel’s been accepted or not relatively soon. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Also, The Untimely Deaths of Daryl Handy has been bringing in some nice reviews lately. I figured I’d share the links here.

The first is from Little Bunny Cthulhu: http://www.littlebunnycthulhu.com/index.php/2013/11/12/dark-reviews-the-untimely-deaths-of-daryl-handy-by-patrick-rutigliano/

And the second is courtesy of The Bookie Monster: http://www.bookie-monster.com/2014/01/the-untimely-deaths-of-daryl-handy.html

I’m also trying to get the gears turning on Bestiary again in hopes it will have its own release at some point within the next few months.

That’s all for now. Just remember to stop by again Tuesday for another installment of Bestiary!

New Article Up (The Only Good Reason)

Because if money is your greatest motivation to write, you’re doing something wrong.

New Article Up (Coping with Rejection)

Every writer has to suffer through rejection (God knows I’ve gone through it plenty of times myself). And while it’s never easy, it’s vital to keep things in perspective.
