Announcement Coming Soon…

…but here’s an F/X test. If you went to my readings at WHC 2013 or Wordier Than Thou, you may be able to guess what this is…

Upcoming Appearances

Okay, this blog post is just a cut-and-paste of my Appearances page…but what if you never clicked on my Appearances page and I was doing a signing at the bookstore RIGHT NEXT DOOR and you MISSED IT???

Gleefully Macabre Tales Is BACK!

You know what sucks? The flu. It totally sucks. I spent the past few days thinking how much the flu sucks, and how nice it was when I didn’t have the flu, and how I will never again laugh at people with the flu and call them slackers who are faking it to get out of having to go to school or work. 

But I’m healthy now (*cough* *cough*) and can happily share that the digital edition of my short story collection Gleefully Macabre Tales is back! You may not have noticed that it was gone, but I assure you, it was, and now it’s back! And for a limited time (let’s say maybe two weeks or so) it’s a scant 99 cents!

Except for the new cover by Lynne Hansen, it’s the exact same book, so if you’ve already bought it there’s no reason to go “Ooh! Ooh! New edition of Gleefully Macabre Tales! New edition of Gleefully Macabre Tales! I bet it’s filled with never-before-seen stories and packed with bonus content!” It’s not. It’s the same book. But if you started with Dead Clown Barbecue  wished that I’d published a short story collection before that…I did!
