Free on Amazon: Garbage, Inc.

My short story Garbage, Inc. is  free on Amazon until Sunday, April 22.  I originally wrote this one for the Horrorfind convention back in 2010, and I had a lot of fun with it.  (Real Pulitzer stuff going on in these pages, let me tell you.)  So, if you like a good revenge story with an extra side of pure brutal awesomeness, check it out.  And if you don't like it, well, at least it's a quick read.

Book of Shadows Update

Entries will be sporadic over the next few weeks while I finish up EVE HALLOWS AND THE BOOK OF SHADOWS.  (Yes, I know my entries are always sporadic, but that's besides the point.  I'm working here.)  The book is still slated for a summer release--a self-imposed deadline, which, so far, I don't see any reason why I can't keep.
