One of the best places for up and coming authors to pick up some great tips (in the Memphis Area).  Is the MidSouthCon  March 9-11 – Last year there was over thirty hours of panels discussing everything from I have a great Idea where do I start to Hey I’m a publisher what do you have for me.

This is a great place to meet other writers – authors – editors – publishers.  This year they have a new guest speaker:  This guy specializes in short stories and riding his motorcycle.

Please stop by and say hi.   I’ll be there with some of the collections that include my stories.

I haven’t yet figured out what panels I’m on, but I promise you I’ll screw them up somehow.  Stop by and say hi!

Yes Hibernating sounds good but no I’ve been writing.  I’ve started a short story (scary story) about a home town legend.  I have also started my first novel.  It centers on the Memphis Police Department.  The research I have been doing has been terrific.   Chatting with cops is a lot of fun.  Usually all they seem to want to talk about is if I know how fast I was going.  I thought they have radars to tell things like that.

 

Anyway: Banging on the key board,  Talking with Police, and Oh Yea…   I have been pointed to a few writing conventions and comic cons this summer.  If you have a favorite, please send it my way.  I’m trying to work my ways onto some panels to meet some of my future readers.

 

so Hit me  up what are you favorite Writers Conventions, Book Fairs, Comic-cons.  Maybe I’ll see you there

To fight the upcoming snowfall in Ohio, I’ll be bringing copies of Elmwood Stories to Die For.  If you are in the Dayton area, and didn’t get your copy for Christmas.   Please hit me up QUICK it is going to be a crazy weekend.

To encourage everyone to participate in my tradition of awaiting to the last minute before Christmas shopping, I’d like to offer you this suggestion. The Anthology of Christmas HORROR Stories: The Shadow Over Deathleham is now available in eBook & Paper on amazon.

This anthology includes the story of Christmas Lasagna, by yours truly. As a bonus this Anthology also includes my poem Left in a Manger, my FIRST poem released to the world. So, now I’m an author and a poet, I’ll never be able to find a hat to fit over my swelled head again.

Anyway the best thing about this gift is you don’t have to drive anywhere. I’m adding the links below.

This anthology was created to support a Pediatric AIDS foundation.  That’s correct, this purchase goes to help children.  Now get to Amazon.

 

Have Frightful Christmas Everyone

What a Saturday. I was sitting at the computer working on my novel, (translated my DVR jammed up so I walked by my PC.) and noticed an email. My Christmas Lasagna story was accepted by Grinning Skull Press for their upcoming Christmas anthology, The Shadow Over Deathlehem.
I’ll keep you informed as I learn more.

What a fantastic way to start a Saturday morning.   After a preparatory Starbucks run I worked my way over to Book Stop Plus – for my first ever public book signing as an author.  We had scheduled the event for two hours, but we left after only one, because we ran out of books!!

Thank-you to everyone who put this together.  Being a part pf Memphis in Malice is a great blessing that I’m happy to be part of.
Next two events.
