Unexpected Special Offer!
"Unexpected Tales from the Ends of the Earth" is a very unusual collection of short fiction by a wide range of writers. The stories are about unintended consequences, strong passions and strange twists of fate.
Although all the stories are in English, the writers are from all over — I'm the only one from the U.S. and that's a pretty cool thing to brag about!
My "Unexpected Tales" are concerned with crime, greed, lust and monstrous mischief. But many of my characters are under the radar. Their criminal behavior is "quiet" and does not always yield the obvious pay day.
"Unexpected Tales from the Ends of the Earth" is now available for FREE (thru September 25) so download this variety pack of voices, perspectives, genres and styles NOW before the price goes back up.
Please share the following link with your friends.

"Unexpected Tales" is from Mardibooks!

Waiting for It...
Suspense is all about TIME and TIMING!
Whether your character is waiting for the other shoe to drop OR wondering what lurks on the other side of creaky door.

Seasonal Monsters
What do werewolves do in winter? It's terribly cold coming home naked the morning after the full moon.
Is it simply the echoes of Dickens, or does Christmastime seem perfect for ghosts?
Everything — and every creature — has a time and season. Check out Seasonal Monsters on Candy's Monsters blog and share your thoughts on paranormal, supernatural, magical beings and their seasons!

Here Be Dragons!
My final summer guest blogger is science fiction/fantasy writer and blogger Jon Jefferson.
His Monster Meditation "Here Be Dragons" is inspiring a wide ranging exchange about fear, adventure and things that go bump in the night.

What do you fear? Are contemporary vampires growing too cuddly and sweet? Are you still haunted by childhood notions of the monster under the bed?

Fears, Phobias & Fiction...
I'm exploring FEARS — small and large — in fiction on my Candy's Monsters blog.
From Hitchcock's "Vertigo" to the roller coaster ride of a great adventure story, fear plays a role in heightening emotions.

The Tiger at the Foot of the Bed
House cats aren't tigers but... they do have a tiny bit of tiger deep inside. It comes out in unpredictable moments of violence and in their instinctual actions.
http://candysmonsters.com/2013/08/05/...
Today, the mini-monstrous side of beloved house cats, on Candy's Monsters blog. As a cat lover I've come to enjoy the little tiger at the foot of my bed.

Haunted Places on Candy's Monsters
The current post on my Candy's Monsters blog is about the places that haunt us and how real life memories, and their real life settings, become the perfect places to set fiction.
http://candysmonsters.com/2013/08/01/...
From that first apartment with a view of the World Trade Towers to restaurant where you had the worst blind date EVER, it's hard not to associate places with experiences and that informs my fiction.
