What ever happened to Fay Wray?

Just a quickie this afternoon - for I'm getting ready to (a). meet a friend for brief shenanigans, and (b). then come home and tart myself up for the Rocky Horror Picture Show event tonight.

But I did want to post a reminder that this is your last day to enter Kevin Hearne's awesome giveaway (re: signed copy of Maplecroft and any book of his, your choice) ... so you'd better get on that. Add me on Twitter before midnight, or before I get home from this thing tonight - whichever comes first.

I've heard a few complaints from folks who don't do Twitter, and I HAVE BEEN LISTENING. So after Halloween, I'll see about giving away one of my own copies - to folks who comment here, or something. I'll work out the details over the weekend, eh?

ANYHOW.

Here's recent progress on my modern gothic ghost story about a salvage crew trapped in a doomed southern mansion - now with a crunchy murder ballad center and Bonus! clandestine cemetery where the stones don't match the bodies (and were never meant to). As inspired by a (semi)true local legend:
