Happy bookday to myself and a host of fantastic authors, some of whom I can also call friends, such as Bob Pastorella, Brian Asman and Thomas Joyce of the This is Horror community. Lost Films is out today! I know I’ve been blathering on about it for months, but this anthology means a lot to me and I feel it is a big step in my writing journey, not to mention an honour, to share a platform with people I’ve looked up to from the moment I first read their work, such as Gemma Files, Brian Evenson, John C Foster, Kristi DeMeester, Jessica McHugh and all the other writers who made the cut. Everlasting thanks to Max and Lori at Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing for believing in my story, ‘The Fourth Wall’. Great reviews are coming in for the whole anthology, so I think and hope you’re going to love it.
Anyway, for the final time, if you don’t have your copy, I strongly recommend taking a look at it by clicking the image below:
Moving on, this summer has existed in two phases, from a writing perspective. On one hand, I planned an as-yet-untitled novel at the end of the school year and managed to put down about 8,000 words of it in just under two weeks. Then I came to the UK to do some university work and since then my time is at a real premium and so I’ve managed only a little more than a thousand words in a month. That said, the WIP is still vivid in my mind, I still believe strongly in the project and I will be getting back on it with a vengeance in a fortnight.
Aside from that, the We Shall Be Monsters anthology of Frankenstein themed stories will be coming from Canada’s Renaissance Press very soon and I look forward to seeing what people make of the story there which I’d struggle to categorise as horror, even with certain horrific realisations. After that there’s nothing new until October, although my Baba Yaga novella remains with a publisher and I eagerly anticipate a response for it. There are other stories out for submission and, of course, the moment I hear anything positive, I’ll post them up here.
For now… back to work…
