A couple of years ago I sold a story to Inhuman Magazine, run by horror artist and all-around-good-guy Allen Koszowski (otherwise known as Allen K.) The previous issues I’d seen of the magazine were nice and slick and I was very pleased with the sale. Then Allen got sick for a while, my own career took off a bit, and I forgot all about the sale.

Until today, that is! Word is out that the latest issue of Inhuman will be available at the Killercon convention in Las Vegas next weekend. You can also order it direct from Allen’s website for $6.95 plus $2 S/H via media mail. So who’s in this one, besides me, that is?

INHUMAN – Issue #4 is now available for purchase and should arrive in a week or so!

Just a quick note this morning to say that part three of “That Cleansing Fire” is now up at the Templar Chronicles Official Website.

Word came this week that my story “On This Day of Reckoning” was accepted for publication in the HOLY HORRORS anthology, edited by Matt Cardin and T.M. Wright.

This was a story that I started at the Borderlands Press Writing Bootcamp back in January when we were given an assignment to write the opening of something new. At the time, I had no idea where I was going with it, but something about it seemed to work and so when the anthology call came up I thought I’d dust it off . This is actually the second sale I’ve made from an assignment we did at the camp – the other one turned into the sale of a new novel called EYES TO SEE to Droemer-Knaur in Germany.

I don’t have any idea who else is involved with the project, but word is that a full table of contents will be available sometime soon. I’ll be sure to post the whole thing here when it is.
