First I got an Interview! Then My 'Net Went Down...

Bit of a crazy week: got a rejection letter at the start of the week, and am looking around for another potential home for it, But more importantly, I finally sent off my fishdude tale, and now starts the waiting game regarding this new tale's destiny, One thing I try to do: for every rejection, I send out another story for consideration to a new or at least a different market.

Also, changes are being made in the neighborhood of the not-so-gambrel-roofed house in East Manuxet: our street is being raised as part of a flood prevention plan. When it's finished, it's supposed to form a barrier against the Shawsheen River back-flowing into the Heath Brook. The downside is that some of our trees got cut down, though the town has promised to replace the trees, And when the crew was taking down one of the trees, the arm of the tree truck hit our telephone pole and knocked the line right off it. So, for a day and a half, I got forced offline, Not a bad thing, as it gave me a chance to catch up on some typing. I got a small Halloween sketch typed and ready. Come October, it may turn up on the long-neglected Patreon page, along with a few more tricks and treats.

But most importantly, before all that (and thankfully before my 'Net went kablooey) I had an interview with a Deadman, Jesse Dedman to be precise, editor provocateur of Deadman's Tome and publisher of two of my stories,
"Something Eating at You" in Deadman's Tome Ancient Ones II by John Grover
and "The Horror in the Stable" in Deadman's Tome Cthulhu Christmas Special Other Lovecraftian Yuletide Tales by S. Alessandro Martinez . We had a great chat, on antiquing, Star Wars, CockyGate and
Erin Crocker's Cocky-Tales A Multi-Genre Anthology by Erin Crocker , the Salem Witch Trials and more odd things. You can have a listen over Here on Youtube" and Here on Spreaker. Get yerself a cool glass of something and sit back for a listen!
