Lasso the moon: Friday Update

News:

My horror story “Weed Killer,” about a large weed growing outside a downtown donut shop, is free to read at Horrific Scribes for their Horrific Scribblings program, which is more like a series of curated exhibits rather than anthologies or individual pieces. “Weed Killer” is one of their first pieces; they’re just getting started. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.

Signed a few more contracts, received a few honorariums, edited another short story for publication.

Works in Progress:

Tattered & Torn (Meridian 6) edits are still slow going, but I think I’m gaining a little momentum. It’s hard when I’m afraid that these books and others are going to become verboten soon (in my state and country), but I’ve got to proceed as though we still have freedom of speech and expression. As though reason will prevail. God, it’s such a precarious place to be.

The Fisherman by John Langan
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Alien Secrets by Annette Curtis Klause
