I’ve been relatively quiet on social media these last few weeks as I was working on two original anthologies, both due around the same time. I’ve finally handed in Nightmare Carnival, which features fifteen new stories about carnivals and circuses. Katherine Dunn, the author of the classic  Geek Love, graciously agreed to provide an Introduction.  The cover art is below. The names on the cover might very well be different.  The book will be out this fall from Dark Horse and you can pre-order it on Amazon and Bn.com

For those of you following me on facebook and twitter you probably already know that I’ve got several new anthologies coming out in 2014.  So it’s past time for me to update my website and start blogging.

My friend and savior Matt Kressel is looking over my shoulder while I create this, my very first post on my blog.

This will be an ongoing process (and first I finish my two in -progress anthologies).

More, tk.

The tail end of 2012 has been a very busy time for authors and editors alike. While many writers are finishing off the last of their NaNoWriMo early drafts, editors and publishing companies are busy wrapping up the year and working on plans for the new year. There are lots of great anthologies coming out in 2013, and if you’d like to preorder any of the titles listed for 2013 on this site, feel free to get them right as they arrive.

This is a test of the blogging system Ellen is switching over to as part of the new site design. We’re rebuilt from the ground up, and we’ve added some new features to make it easy to stay updated and keep posting on all the great projects in the works!

Stay posted!
