"Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich W. Nietzsche


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.

Spinetingler Award Nominee

I just returned from no man's land to discover:



Yay! I would do a summersaults on my lawn if it had grass, weren't full of thorns, palm fronds, and baby mesquite trees. Not only am I shocked, surprised, blown away about the nomination but look what fantastic company I'm in!

Lily Childs, Matthew C. Funk, Nigel Bird, Steve Weddle, Jen Conley, Peter Swanson, Catherynne M. Valente, Dennis Tafoya.

Just Wow.

You can find all the story links available at the Spinetingler site HERE. Read up! Voting begins next week.

Many thanks to Beat to a Pulp editor David Cranmer for publishing Pillow Talk. I had no idea at the time how disturbing Henrietta would be on the audience's psyche, and how much they would enjoy it. (Freaks!)

I've been waiting for you to post! Congrats, JMac. High five to you.

David Cranmer said...

Big congrats, Jodi! And thanks for making BTAP shine with this marvelous, disturbing tale.

Paul D Brazill said...

Congratulations. Deserved.

Lily Childs said...

Huge congratulations Jodi - loving sharing your bed ;)

Chris Alliniotte said...

'Gratz Jodi!

Henrietta is a wicked, wicked girl. I wonder what she'd make of the spotlight? (Probably she'd find out who was shining the f*cking light on her, and strap him down for later.)

John Wiswell said...

You should be excited. Congratulations, Jodi!

Jodi MacArthur said...

Erin~ Thank you! It's been craziness over here. My Lil sis is getting married tomorrow and we've been playing last minute phone tag. And all sorts of craziness. But wow, this was a huge shock and wonderful surprise

David~ Yay. Again, thank you so so much. ;-)

Paul ~ Thank you my friend for all your encouragement and support.

Lily~ Your story is awesomeness! And I'm absolutely thrilled to see your story up there as well as Matt's, Nigel's and the others! You know I adore your writing!

Chris~ I laughed when I read this. And then I stopped. You make a good point. Voters might just want to be careful about that.

John- Thank you!

Be honoured, Jodi - you deserve it.

I knew Henrietta was going places when I reviewed this story last November.

Good luck,
Col

Excellent. Well done and well deserved.

I'm not the least surprised. Better order sod for the front yard, this is going to be happening a lot. Congrats Jojo!

Jodi MacArthur said...

Thank you, Mr. G!

And Harbro, hee! If it ever rains I'll have grass, and then I'll mow the baby mesquite trees. Thanks!
