"TAP" in 9 Days of Madness

Chris Allinotte presents stories of the unsettling and disturbing.Think of straight jackets & long hallways with white and black tiled floors. No doors or windows. No green exit signs. Only an axe in a glass display case to use in emergency. PA speakers repeat,"NINE DAYS OF MADNESS."

The madness began with Godwin. I continue it today with  

"Tap"

ps. This has to be one of my favorite series of the year. Chris does a great job. Last year's stories were spectacularly creepy & insane, as this year's promises to be.

Ruby Hearts at Cast of Wonders

Pssst...Hey there, it's been awhile, as in like four months. Where have I been? If you figure that out let me know, I'd appreciate it. In the meanwhile, one of my oldest writing friends, Barry Northern, fantastic editor of two thriving podcasts (Cast Macabre and Cast of Wonders) has published and narrated my fantasy YA story,  

  
Ruby Hearts.

I am delighted and tickled with the way he has brought this story to life (and check out the cover art he created for the story- yay!). Amazing. Thank you, Barry! A special thanks to Cast of Wonders producer, Graeme Dunlop, as well.

*This story was originally accepted in Absolutely Kate's "Harbinger 33".

Black, White and Red All Over at In Between Altered States

Santa Muerte takes us to Jerusalem in "Black, White, and Red All Over" at In Between Altered States. The theme this month is salvation, and its always neat to read all the contributions together. The collective subconscience is amazing when a group of people are asked to write on a similiar subject.


Sincere Thank You to editor, Aleathia Drehmer.

Also, special thank yous to Sean Monaghan, Angel Zapata, and Lori Titus for the write ups they've done for "Mantra" and "Free Mercury" this last month. And extra appreciation to Erin Cole & Chris Allinotte for their encouragement and to others for reviews on Pulp Ink & Laughing at the Death Grin! anthologies and my stories within.  I don't know what I'd do without the support of my writing family. 

"Free Mercury" at Beat to a Pulp

Horror.

Some think a Mantra can keep it from happening to them, others induce it into sick Halloween Games. It often bumps in the night casting shadows against the walls, hiding under your bed with a knife.  Sometimes, though, horror is a simple melt of our vulnerabilities over blistering hot lava.

The only hope is to "FREE MERCURY"




Thank you, as always, to the wonderful editor of Beat to a Pulp, David Cranmer.

Happy Halloween!

Pulp Metal Fiction Anthology ~ Laughing At The Death Grin

What goes through your mind when you think of PULP METAL MAGAZINE? It's like a ouja board of the dirty spirits of pulp, Slayer, bleeding scars, time balloons rising up up and way. And when the balloons pop, out frolic the likes of Melanie Browne, Ian Ayris, Chris Rhatigan,  Richard Godwin, UV Ray, Charlie Coleman, Frank Duffy, myself, and many others.

"Laughing At The Death Grin!" is one collection of classics you don't want to miss. Many thanks to PMM dictator and editor, Jason Michel. Purchase at $.99 for limited time.
