Submission time! Yay!

So again, I'm rushing up to the deadline for submissions, but hey I got this in this morning!

I submitted a short story "Knowing Dragons" to Darkhouse Books for their planned Shhh Murder anthology. I spotted it on a listing of online submissions - thank you, Gwendolyn Kiste! - and while it's in a genre - cozy mystery - I'm not usually working in, I noticed it was perfect for me in one regards.

The editors were going to give extra credit to anyone with a librarian background.

So, here's hoping the story passes muster!

History and Mystery Oh My Now ePublished To the World

It took awhile but Sarah and Gwen got the editing done.  History And Mystery Oh My! is now available as ebook for both Kindle and Nook (and other EPUB readers).

My story "The Dread Secret of the Battle of Los Angeles" made the grade.  Woot!

It's based on the real-life "Battle of Los Angeles" in early 1942 during the post-Pearl Harbor panic along the West Coast.  Nobody's really sure what had happened that night, but I made a few guesses considering the locale and decided on a wry, sarcastic explanation how it all went down.  I hope people get the Rocketeer reference...

Pricing is $2.99 a download.  Tell your friends!  Surprise your enemies!  Wake the neighborhood!  Dance, people, DANCE!

Mardi Gras Murder Anthology: Now including a submission I sent!

Victory again!  Yes.

Mystery & Horror LLC accepted a story "Why The Mask" for their upcoming Mardi Gras Murder anthology.



This is following the submission "I Must Be Your First" for their Strangely Funny anthology, which has garnered some decent reviews on GoodReads and Amazon.com.

Feeling really good about all that.  Now just need to convert that good feeling into getting this damned first novel finished.  FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY grrrrrrrrrr.  Get me an editor with a shotgun and an egg timer, please...
