News: November 2012
A slow news month as we head into the start of the holiday season. A lot of items are pending, which makes me feel like my writing life is in a bit of a holding pattern: several professional outlets have expressed interest in reviewing The Ghost Is the Machine, but none of the reviews have been published yet; a couple of short story submissions are pending; editing is ongoing for my novel, The Lamplighters,; and the release of my latest short story, "Salvage," should be imminent.
"Salvage" will appear in volume four of the Honest Lie anthology series put out by Open Heart Publishing. OHP previously published my short story "The Registry of Lost Socks" in An Honest Lie Vol. 2. It's one of my favorite stories, so check it out if you haven't already.
I'll also be attending Anthocon with the good folks from Post Mortem Press on Nov. 9. If you're in the New Hampshire area, be sure to stop by and say hello.
Until next month, thanks for reading (and if you live in the United States, don't forget to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6).

News: December 2012
Hello all, and happy holidays to all of my readers. With Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc. now upon us, I've been finding it harder and harder to carve out time to write. Even so, with the end of November came the completion of an important writing goal for me: the finalization of the third draft of my novel, The Lamplighters. Though I did not participate in NaNoWriMo, I did hope to complete the latest draft of the book by the end of last month. I did, and the manuscript is now out to several beta readers to see how it stacks up.
Last month, I also had the good fortune to attend Anthocon in Portsmouth, N.H., with the good folks from Post Mortem Press. At the event, I got to meet fellow PMP authors T.L Barrett, Nicholas Conley and G. Elmer Munson. Be sure to check out these writers and their great books.
Finally, I also wrote a critique of character development in YA novels that I published here on Goodreads. You can read it HERE. Agree? Disagree? Let me know in the comments.
Until next month, thanks for reading and have a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.
