Women Veterans' Horror Anthology on Kickstarter Until October 8, 2023
There is a Kickstarter for Haunted Zone, the horror anthology with short stories and poetry written by women military veterans (including me with a short story and a poem). There are 70,000 words in 25 unnerving short stories and poems for the reader's horror- filled delight. There is artwork packed inside the book and none are done by A.I. Part of the goal of this anthology is a goal for every story to have interior illustrations, so each story has corresponding artwork. Besides eBook and paperback editions, with the Kickstarter you can get a limited-edition hardcover version of the book, a different cover for it. Once the book is released, in partnership with National Veterans Foundation, future book proceeds go to the organization and their Women Veterans Support and Resource Programs. The Kickstarter ends October 8th. The anthology releases March 2024. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Preorder The Terror at Miskatonic Falls My Poem is Included
My poem, Dementia, is included in this super cosmic horror poetry anthology of 30 poems, The Terror at Miskatonic Falls. It also included full color cover artwork and 37 black and white illustrations with full-bleed backgrounds, It releases February 7, 2024 from Cemetary Dance Publications.
Blurb:
This January, winter has fallen hard on the small Massachusetts town of Miskatonic Falls. The icy wind has brought more than ice and snow, however. It has brought something ancient, alien, and evil. As the temperatures drop and the snow drifts build, a creeping horror crawls over the town and its inhabitants, pulsing an insistent mantra into their slowly unraveling minds: The Long Man Cometh.
When the end comes, it does so swiftly, silently, and goes unnoticed.
Until a lone state trooper is sent to investigate a strange phone call from somewhere in the small town. When he reaches Miskatonic Falls, however, he finds no people. No answers.
No hope.
Nothing, except dozens of scrawled, carved, and painted verse, scattered everywhere: In homes, churches, carved on trees and telephones poles, in diaries, and on the hoods of abandoned cars. Leading not only to an old manor on a hill overlooking the town - but also, perhaps, madness.
Over 30 contributors unveil an intimate look at the last surviving moments of a town gone mad, revealed through a bloody trail of scraps of verse. Read at your risk, dear traveller...
Because the Long Man is coming.
