All community-minded boils and ghouls should bring a donation for the FoodBank of Southeastern Virginia!

All Hallow's Eve-Free on Kindle
It is free. I had two stories included in this anthology. All Hallow's Eve – hear the whispering voices … began as a Halloween flash fiction writing contest on Facebook, sponsored by Sharon Van Orman.
Writer ‘friends’ joined in and produced the harrowing, spine-chilling short stories found in this collection.
The contest ran for the month of October and each week’s twenty-five entries were voted on with comments; the story with the most comments won.
The winning writers of the first four weeks competitions then competed for an ‘author’s dream’ prize package of free ebooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, gift cards and more.
But everyone agreed all the stories were excellent…
This is not one person’s achievement, but a collective of people from around the block and around the world.“Hal L. O’ween” is the pen-name of a group of writers from around the world that have joined together to ‘scare your pants off!’
Many thanks go to the following writers—without their involvement, this collection wouldn’t have been possible:
Devin Berglund, Brian Bigelow, Melissa Blume, Carol Bond, Michelle Patricia Browne, Jaleta Clegg, Richard Cotton, Russell Cruse, J. A. Cunningham, Toy Davis, Bella Doerres, Debra Elliott, Jiva Fang, Paul Freeman, Joseph Alan Gharagheer, Pamela Griffiths, Erik Gustafson, Rylee Hales, Denise Hemphill, Bruce Hesselbach, Rob Holliday, Katrina Jack, Gerald D. Johnston, Mel L. Kinder, Merita King, Pamela K. Kinney, Neil Leckman, Tracy Lesch, Rosemary Lynch, Ellen McKinney, Wolfen Lee McKoy, Shannon Marie Mead, Jason Mueller and C. L. Foster, Matthew Christopher Nelson, Sharon Van Orman, Patrick Ottuso, Cheryl C. Ramirez, Martin Reaves, Katherine Rochholz, Kincaid Savoie, Adam Sifre and Splinker, Gretchen Steen, Michael L. Turner, Rahima Warren, Richard A. Wentworth, Lisa Williamson, Sherill Willis, Stephen L. Wilson, Kay D. Ziegler.
Enjoy these spooky bits, for they are what makes Halloween special!

My Story. "Bottled Spirits" Finaled in in the 2013 WSFA Small Press Award
I found out by accident on Twitter of all places, that my short story,
"Bottled Spirits," published in Buzzy Mag in 2012 is the one of seven finalists in the 2013 WSFA Small Press Award finalists. http://t.co/4Q20yBErnL
I am still in shock. If you see, the other finalists are some big name authors and super editors.
As said on the website: The award honors the efforts of small press publishers in providing a critical venue for short fiction in the area of speculative fiction. The award showcases the best original short fiction published by small presses in the previous year (2012). An unusual feature of the selection process is that all voting is done with the identity of the author and publisher hidden so that the final choice is based solely on the quality of the story. The winner is chosen by the members of the Washington Science Fiction Association (wsfa.org) and will be presented at their annual convention, Capclave (capclave.org), held this year on October 11-13 in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
