He became serious about publishing his fiction writing after attending a writers’ workshop presented by authors Sarah A. Hoyt and Amanda S.

Quotes by Larry Atchley Jr. (?)

“Streets teemed with hell's wretched souls. New dead with their gadgets and old dead from antiquity. Demons roamed the avenues and alleyways, tormenting hapless damned at random with branding irons, flaming pitchforks, and razor-wire whips. -From the story Remember, Remember, Hell in November, in the anthology, Lawyers in Hell.”
― Larry Atchley Jr.
