In September, my new anthology of original ghost stories was published. Only BOO, and nothing more contains 28 stories and one poem written way back when I belonged to an Edgar Allan Poe group on Yahoo. It's set up like Poe's The Raven, the stanzas and cadence the same, but there's a little literary difference. I wrote it for my daughter, and it promotes literacy. I also drew the cover art for this book, a pen and ink drawing of a draped funerary urn. I drew a series of fourteen of these urns for myself to hang in my writing room since I write a lot of ghost stories. Here's a little insider info- I accidentally selected the original drawing, not the cleaned up version, so pencil lines from my sketch are visible still. Sometimes, in the course of a busy life, you make little mistakes. A second draped urn replaces the usual author photo on the back cover...that's just me being me. I am my writing and my art!
