New Story Coming Out

Pleased to announce that my short story, IMP SOUP, will appear in the upcoming anthology, LET THE RIGHT ONE SIMMER, Vol I, from Campfire Publishing founded by the great Aaron Crocker!

It's an anthology of food-related horror (lol), which should be fun!!! Stay tuned.

Jane’s Quotes

“Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.”
