I’m extremely pleased to note that Midian Unmade: Tales of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed, the horror anthology that I co-edited with Del Howison, has been nominated by the members of the Horror Writers Association (HWA) for the Bram Stoker Award.

This is my third time being nominated so let’s hope three’s the charm! (The first was for my debut novel Riverwatch and the second was for non-fiction for the blog I founded, Storytellersunplugged.)

Here’s the full list...

I just watched a video about Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black’s creative process and loved it so much I wanted to share it with you all.
