If you’ve visited my website before, you may notice it has changed. That’s because the WordPress template I *paid* for stopped playing nicely with the latest version of WordPress.
I tried to fix it various ways, but to no avail. So instead of purchasing a new one–they’re not expensive, but I’m not swimming in cash–I decided to use one of the free templates for now.
Here’s to a more cash-filled 2017–for all of us!
I’m happy to announce that I’ll be at the Arisia conference in January once again. I’ve been placed on a number of great panels, and should be able to publish that soon, once programming is finalized ?
I’ll also be selling some of my books at the Broad Universe table and will be doing a reading at some point during the weekend.
Arisia takes place from January 13 – 16 at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel. Hope to see you there!
I meant to post this on November 1, when NaNoWriMo–National Novel Writing Month–began. NaNoWriMo leads writers through a month of intensive creation, culminating with a draft novel, or 50,000 words spread across other projects.
I’m not participating in NaNoWriMo per se–I’ve tried in the past and I always fall short, and it gives me the sads 🙁 I’ve been trying to write more, though, in between my editing gig.
When I have my writing tools, I’m more successful. My primary writing space is a three-season porch, which creates some difficulties beginning around November:
Despite its lack of perfection, I love the porch because it’s sunny and it’s filled with my stuff. If I’m surrounded by the right tools, I find I can still manage to write out here fairly well.
The things on my must-have list for writing out here include:
The most important thing you can do is find what works for you!
I’m so excited to join other authors in the Wicked Witches anthology for a reading in November! All of the authors live in New England and are members of New England Horror Writers.
The reading begins at 7pm at Pandemonium in Cambridge, MA, on Saturday, November 19th.
The lineup is:
James A. Moore
John M. McIlveen
Errick Danger Nunnally
Remy Flagg
Doug Rinaldi
Trisha Wooldridge
Morven Westfield
Izzy Lee
Suzanne Reynolds-Alpert
I hope to see you there!
I’ve got two pieces of work that will be published by Halloween. Fittingly, both are horror pieces!
A short story, Traitorous, Lying, Little Star will be republished by Digital Fiction Publishing Corp. in their all women horror anthology, Killing It Softly. The Kindle version may be available as soon as next month. I’ll keep you posted here and on my author Facebook page.
A poem, “That Witch We Dread,” will be published in the third anthology of the New England Horror Writers, titled Wicked Witches.
I have some other writerly news as well, but I’m not ready to disclose it yet.
NEW! I’d love to get more followers both here and at my Facebook page, so please share a link to either on Facebook, twitter, or elsewhere, and if you do I’ll enter your name into a drawing to receive a free book! (Feel free to tag me or zip me an email if you’re afraid I won’t see that you’ve shared.) The drawing will take place on or around Halloween, and the giveaway will involve at least one of the books mentioned above. I’m thinking I’ll draw at least two names, maybe three if I’m feeling generous 😉
I wanted to give a brief update on some recent work I’ve had accepted.
My poem “That Witch We Dread” will be part of the New England Horror Writers Upcoming Anthology, Wicked Witches. The anthology release date is (when else?) on October 31, 2016.
I’ve just signed the contact for my horror short story, Traitorous, Lying, Little Star, to be reprinted by Digital Fiction Publishing. I don’t have the ETA on that yet.
In writing news… I’m STILL revising my horror/scifi novelette, Vegetables, and I have a cat-themed short story in progress for an anthology by Pole to Pole Publishing.
Lots of good stuff happening… 🙂
