Greetings darklings! I know it's been a while, but I have been busy of late. I have a few pieces that have recently been published, which I wish to share with you, and I have news on a few other topics as well.

For starters, from Hippocampus Press, I have had my story "The Transient's Dream" published in Penumbra No. 7. It is an expansion on a flash fiction piece called "The Transient", which I wrote for Weird Fiction Quarterly's Ghost issue. It takes place in my fictional town of Helldorado and is relevant to the Burning Ember Mission of Helldorado.

Also, my poem "The Necromancer" is in Spectral Realms No. 25. This is a piece I first wrote back in the 90s, which I completely rewrote, excising some bits and rearranging others. It's thrilling to finally see it go out into the world!

Also, in the works, is the collection Grave Matters a collaboration with fellow Weird scribe Scott J. Couturier, and UK artist Mutartis Boswell. It is currently at the publisher and should be available in the next month or so. I will keep you all in the loop as things develop.

Lastly, for my fellow Phoenix residents, I have been accepted to participate in a local author event held by the Phoenix Public Library at the Burton Barr Central Library location. It will be in November, and I shall keep you all informed of any updates as I receive them. This should be interesting.

Well, I wish you all well, and promise to check in more frequently as the holidays approach.
