Last month, I had the good fortune to attend the Baltimore Book Festival with the good folks from Post Mortem Press. I would venture to say that like most writers, I very much attending writing / publishing / author events. Not only was Baltimore a great way to meet some of my fellow PMP authors -- like the inestimable Paul Anderson, Kenneth W. Cain and Jessica McHugh -- but I also left feeling very energized and ready to write.

The past several weeks have been more productive for me than the last few months combined. I'm resuming my regular writing schedule again and getting some productive work done. I'm currently composing a short story for consideration in a new anthology. After that, I'll continue editing the latest draft of my first real novel, which I haven't had a chance to work on since March.

In other news, the release of my latest short story, "Salvage," should be imminent. Salvage will appear in volume four of the Honest Lie anthology series put out by Open Heart Publishing. OHP previously published my short story "The Registry of Lost Socks" in An Honest Lie Vol. 2.

Finally, my good friend, Katie Carroll, whom I’ve known since college, has seen the release of her first book, Elixir Bound. If you like YA fantasy, you owe it to yourself to check out Katie’s book.
