    Cover of Don't Turn the Lights On

    This is the cover of Don’t Turn the Lights On, an upcoming anthology of horror stories based on classic urban legends, and which just happens to contain a reprint of my short story, "Who Remembers Molly?".  The anthology will be available on March 30, but you can pre-order it now for only $10.95 from the Stone Garden Press website. Proceeds from the sale of this anthology will benefit an animal rescue organization in Utah whose name escapes me at the moment but which I am assured by several people is a legitimate organization.

    "Who Remembers Molly?" is one of my personal favorite stories.  I also use it as an example of why you should usually trust your instincts on your own writing.  After receiving various harsh crits in various online and offline venues for what people perceived as pacing and continuity problems, I went ahead and decided it was fine as it was and submitted it anyway.  The editor over at The Harrow flipped over it, as did the editor of this anthology.  So even though my crit circles are right about 99% of the time, there are still times when you should trust your own instincts over those of your crit buddies.

    In other upcoming publication news, "A Most Heinous Man" is a go for Issue #33 of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine.  I’ve signed the contract, returned the proofs, and all that’s left is to bask in the glow and spend all the money I’ll be getting from my first international publication. There was a minor hiccup with this story and I fear I may have burned a bridge with at least one of their editors despite my fervent apologies but at least this one’s a go. Look for it… well, someday.
