As seems usual, I had every intention to write and post something here for #WomenInHorrorMonth, except I had my hands full writing the horror fiction. But, here on the last day of February (thank you, Leap Year, for an extra day to write this entry), I have a post full of news about the things that have flown up from my writing desk.

Last Saturday, I wended my way again to legend-haunted Salem for the fourth annual Write Like A Girl at the Witch House, courtesy of the spooktacular ladies of FunDead Publications. I read a tale I’ve wanted to read out loud since I read it, “The Creeping Crust”, which appeared in last year’s Strangely Funny VI from Mystery and Horror LLC. This tale of a young pizza delivery girl who finds her next call involves an inept cult of eldritch entity worshipers played out like a movie in my mind, a comedy-horror flick that delighted me to share it with the world. I also sold a few books, including a copy of the now-out-of-print Cocky Tales (I still have a few copies, so don’t hesitate to tap me about snail-mailing you an autographed copy!). All in all, a very good night for a very good cause, as the proceeds from the ticket sales go to benefit Safe Child Africa, which helps children falsely accused of witchcraft in east Africa.
