The Best Indie Speculative Fiction antho, which includes my story “Pacific Wind” has been published – link here – and a wave to Alex Shvartsman and Vonnie Winslow Crist, who are in this one as well!

So, Tales from the Old Black Ambulance which, if funded, will contain my story “Caddy Man” is on Kickstarter. You can have a look in the link here! Nice cover, too…

I missed this one when it came out, so updating now: the Menagerie de Mythique anthology was released in June, and it contains a reprint of my story “New Hunting Grounds”. Always nice to discover a publication you’d missed!!  Link here.

My story “Fresh Start” will be appearing in Fantasy Short Stories.  I’m assuming it will be for the second volume so, for those of you who can’t wait, might I suggest buying the first, which also holds one of my stories (“Honor Among Thieves”)?

Very excited to announce that I am featured as the “Eating Author” on Lawrence M. Schoen‘s website today. This is huge for me because I’ve known Lawrence for ages, and have seen so many amazing writers on that space – including, quite recently, friend and fellow Guardbridge Books author Christopher Kastensmidt – that being there is one of those “wow, I can’t believe I’m there” moments. So if you were ever curious as to my most memorable meal, you can have a look!

Happy today because Fox Spirit has revealed the cover of the anthology American Monsters Part 1 – the latest installment in their award-winning series. Honored to share the ToC with a lot of friends–Fábio Fernandes, Christopher Kastensmidt, Cesar Alcázar–and to have gotten to work with the wonderful Margrét Helgadóttir, who edited the book. The cover is by Daniele Serra, who has done an amazing job with all of these.

My story “Time to Reflect” sold to Tell-Tale Press’ Winter anthology. This is a reprint sale, and I’ll let everyone know when it’s published!

 

It’s not every day that I release a new book.  And it is even less frequent for me to attempt a new genre.  I’d never written a thriller before, much less a romantic thriller, but it’s a genre I read in frequently.  The end result was that I felt both excited at the novelty and comfortable while writing it–an amazing experience, in fact.

Timeless was launched over the weekend, and it’s an ebook format.  You can get it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and, if you prefer to avoid the big retail chains, you can also get it from Smashwords.

A little about the book for those of you who might be curious:

Journalist Marianne Caruso is in Athens on her first investigative piece: finding the reclusive author of a best-selling novel about drug smuggling in the Aegean. She goes out for a night on the town with a good friend, Karina, who disappears after leaving the club.

Marianne’s journalistic instinct, combined with a re-reading of the novel, makes her suspect the kidnapping is linked to her investigation and that the book describes real criminals and events—criminals desperate to keep her from publishing her findings. Now even more determined to locate the author, Marianne teams up with Karina’s family to speak to underworld contacts and discovers the author is a monk at an ancient monastic complex forbidden to women.

Medieval misogyny be damned, Marianne arranges a secret meeting with the monk, but the criminals ambush her. Separated from her companions, she runs for her life with only the monk himself for company, a man who might hold the key to rescuing Karina, but whose past holds secrets that might make him just as dangerous as the men she’s trying to escape.

Reviews of Terra, Tara, Terror are beginning to come in. Here’s a good one from Tangent (always a good thing to be reviewed by Tangent, as they tend to concentrate on the upper reaches of the market). Not super-effusive about my story, but generally positive which is always nice! Link here.

The Mindscapes Unimagined anthology has been released. This one contains my story “Pax”. Link here!
