Coming Soon!
The book First Time Dead, Vol. II is set to be released next month! I'm nervous about it, seeing something of mine in print for the first time. I wonder if zombie enthusiasts will enjoy it, dread upcoming reviews, and worry about every little thing. And, there might be a book signing in the very near future which I still find impossible to believe. Me? At a book signing and not one of those standing in line?
Well, nothing's set in stone. But it's nice to dream about, isn't it?
I'm slowly getting back into the swing of writing, with two short stories in process and a re-working of the mess that I wrote for NaNoWriMo. A friend asked me what I hoped to accomplish with my writing. I want to be known as a writer of gay horror. Thinking back to all the horror books I've read, very few have any gay characters -- with the exception of vampires, but I think that lends itself very easily to the homosexuality. But other horror -- zombie, ghost, monster, etc. -- I rarely find any gay characters. Even Stephen King has had only one gay character as far as I can remember: in his novel Cell.
Who knows. Anything is possible if you just go out and do it.

I have some Gay Horror stories from when I first appeared on the bar scene. But that may not be what you're looking for exactly. Although it did involve a few old trolls.
Your Friend, m.
Very cool! Now, remember you (cyber-)friends when you're rich and famous! ;)
Ah, all that book signing gives you carpal tunnel. ;)
Look forward to seeing your name on the local book rack.
Sounds like there's room for that. How did you find the NaNoWriMo process? I haven't jumped into that, just yet.
