Reviews of Apex April 2010

Wow. It is rare that I get a "hate" and a "love" review of the same thing on the same day. But that is what happens in the writing industry. Here are two diameterically opposed reviews of Apex Magazine's April 2010 companion issue to Close Encounters of the Urban Kind. These are not about the anthology itself.

HATE: Locus' review. An Urban Legends issue, with aliens, companion to the anthology Close Encounters of the Urban Kind and guest-edited by the anthology's editor. I hope the quality...

Review of Masters of Horror anthology

Masters of Horror reviewed by Neil Colquhoun.

My story, Cost of Job Security, got a shout out as a favorite story. I love it when that happens. Especially in a collection as good as this one.

Close Encounters of the Urban Kind Author Interviews

A few of the PNW authors who grace the pages of my anthology, Close Encounters of the Urban Kind (Amazon | Kindle | Apex Publications) have been interviewing each other. I thought I would link them here for you all to enjoy as well.

Rosemary Jones Interview by Nate.

Nathan Crowder Interview by Erik.

Erik Scott de Bie Interview by Rosemary.

And if you like the interviews, Apex Publications is running a daily Devotion for the newest anthology, Dark Faith, over here.

Review: The Ross-Allen Letters

Read the review of The Ross-Allen Letters by Jaym Gates. It is a good one.

You can get the Colonial Gothic supplement on DriveThruRPG and Kindle.

New Interview

I have a new interview on the David H. Burton site. It really was a fun one to do.

Come hear (read?) me talk about current projects, some upcoming projects and about support small press publishers.

Link heavy with lots of information.

New Cover and Release Date

The Little Finance Book That Could is almost here. I finally have an official release date: 15 June 2010, and a brand new cover to show off. There is no pre-order link, yet.

If you ever want to know how I got out of debt, this is how. Autobiographical with stories and examples, I show you the 10 rules I used to become debt free and stay that way. I also have the 5 financial principles everyone should live by.

New Cover for you and a pre-order link

This is my horror collection to be published by Dark Quest Books. I so win at the book cover game. For those that don't know, this is what my Freaky Friday Fiction collection became.



The cover was done by Amanda Kelsey.

You can pre-order my collection here.

Busy-busy but here's something for you.

My short story, The Cost of Job Security is in this anthology.

[image error] Welcome to a world hidden behind the blinds of reality, a landscape waiting to be molded into a thing of pain and torture.

This anthology is not for the faint-hearted. The ideas, themes, and disturbing images portrayed within these pages will send your brain into overdrive on the road to madness. This book is guaranteed to rob you of sleep at night by bringing you the nightmare you've most feared...

Carole Gill's "Truth Hurts," where...

An Icelandic volcano was not on the line

I have to admit, when amandapillar and I were hashing out the end of the world backstory for our award winning Grants Pass anthology [Amazon | Kindle | Morrigan Books], we never, ever thought to discuss Iceland's active volcano blowing its top and causing all the havoc it is causing now. Part of me wishes we had.
