Wending My Way From My Writing Desk Back to Providence
A lot has gone on since I last posted here. I've been beavering away at typing untyped stories, clearing away some of the backlog sitting in various journals. Im the process, I discovered a cut scene from my "Grand Staircase to the Yellow Court" (the published version of which appeared in Secret Stairs: A Tribute to Urban Legend a bit in which Matherton and Stamos, the pair of FBI agents who first appeared in my story in "Bite ME", arrive on scene to take custody of the incriminating copy of the King in Yellow. I'd removed this scene since it slowed down the pace of the story, But I kept it and decided to post it on my till-now disused Patreon page, as a patrons-only exclusive, So! for a small donation each month, you can read it and the rest of the stories that I will be posting in the near future Over Here This is just the first of more stories you'll soon find over there, so watch that space...
I've also scared up more new to me markets to send other, longer stories for consideration, including but not limited to a Gothic tale, a kids' story involving a creature I'd seen in a nightmare, and another tale of the Reanimator. The more stories I send out, the greater my chances of something fitting a particular market and appearing in print for your delight - and terror.
Also, I thought I would take a break from straight-up horror this summer, but my brain had other ideas. A market for haunted house stories opened and I discovered I had a tale involving a haunted apartment complex sitting half-written in a journal, begging me to finish it and send it out. Wish me luck on this one and the rest of my works in progress.
Most importantly! I will be wending my way back to the eldritch hills and haunted byways of Providence, Rhode Island, for the bi-annual H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. I'd planned to attend the last time (2016) but chickened out at the last minute and I've kicked myself ever since. No self-kicking this year: I've arranged for my accommodations and paid for my tickets. Any of you planning to attend, feel free to say hello to me.
