One More to Watch For- Black Magic

My third novel, Black Magic, just sold to Samhain for publication mid-2013.

So Dark Inspiration fans, look for my new novel Sacrifice as an e-book July 7, 2012 and in paperback in October. Then save me one more space on your shelf for 2013.

Poetry, seriously?

A piece of twisted poetry is up in the website Reading Room. You won't see any more like this, so get it while its cold and before public outcry demands it's removal.

Short Story Sale

My short story Duty, Honor, Magic has been picked up by Wicked East Press for their upcoming anthology Bedtime Stories for Boys .
From the title, you can guess that it's finally something without a gruesome death scene. I'll post when it goes on sale.

"Tide of War" at Tales of Old

A new short story, "Tide of War" is available in text or podcast form at www.talesofold.org.

In this historical fiction piece, the king of Wessex and his personal gaurd are trapped behind enemy lines in medieval England and have to find an escape route home.

Another story of mine, "No Man's Land" about a World War I pilot is also in the archives there, as well as other great stories.

Have fun!

Minor Milestone

Dark Inspiration logged three hundred Goodreads readers yesterday.

Those in the big world of the bestseller would shrug, but as a first time author, it means quite a bit. Three hundred serious readers took the time and expense to read something I wrote. It is amazing.

Thank you all for the kind reviews and support. Pass the word to others.

My next book, Sacrifice, is scheduled for July.
