Hello!

This site still receives a lotta traffic. Thank you for your continued interest.

I am still currently writing horror/suspense/pulp only in longer form. Visit my alter ego HERE for continued updates and current fiction. And please, you can call me Jodi or whatever you called me before I went all nom de plume.

Thanks for the years of loyal friendship and support.

She's alive! And En Fuego! Congrats!

Jodi MacArthur said...

Wow, these comments came in all hours of the night - you party animals.

Pamila - If you bring some candles and extra chapstick, plenty of room in this here cave. If you don't mind the trickle of water down the wall, and the occasional 8 legged shadow (gulp). ;) Missed you girl.

Mike S - Alive? More like resurrected and now I look like that fuzzy critter over there on the right. 0.0

Laurita ~ Thanks so much for your support. ;)

Barry ~ I've actually been saving all my publishing money up for a kindle, so I can read your guys novels on it (since I'm not fond of reading on computer screens). This definitely puts me closer to the goal.



Billy, Mark, Michelle, Paul, Laura -(Congrats on Ironies!), Linda, David – thank you so much for trecking through the vast desert to find my cave and yell HELLO IN THERE – and for your hearty (superbad) CONGRATS.

You guys are the best. In fact, I think Linda just offered to take us all to Disney Land. Woohoo! Thanks Linda. Floppy hats for everybody.
