CARNAGE HOUSE

My story, "Legion", is featured in the new issue of Carnage House. I feel like this is an important turning point in a way, especially since right after I got an acceptance for an upcoming charity anthology (more on that later).

"Legion" is a personal story. It's a story about dealing with chronic pain. What do you do about pain? Do you separate yourself from it? Do you deal with it some how? Or do you make yourself one with the pain? 

It seems like my personal stories do well (look at "Alice in a Blue Dress" published in The Horror Zine. That was partly inspired by my own mother's cancer. Luckily, my mom survived and I did not turn into a demon).

Facing demons, right? 😈

The Horror Zine

This Summer seems to have flown by (as most Summers do). But this this season has felt like some odd dream, part nightmare, part fever dream of being swept off my feet (literally) by ghosts. My father sadly passed away in June and time has been surreal.

I'm being driven, however, as if those ghosts are speaking to me, to write more, to have that need inside me, and not just see it as a daily task. I wish I could write more fiction and I'm trying to get back into that. Not just the novel I've been trying to write for years, but I did start a new short story not long ago.

In the meantime, I had four poems accepted by The Horror Zine, which are set to appear in the December issue of the online 'zine, but are also featured in the Fall 2024 print issue, now available on Amazon!

ILLUMEN

I can't believe it's taken me this long to have my first publication of the year, but I am quite proud to have more poetry in Illumen. Please consider purchasing a copy and supporting this lovely publication.

The Literary Hatchet

Proud to have two poems published in the latest issue of The Literary Hatchet. The issue is available as a free PDF download until the next issue comes out. 🪓

CARNAGE HOUSE, A New Venture in Extreme Horror

My story, "Audrey in the Box", has been published in a new webzine called Carnage House. The site, as the editors like to say, is currently undergoing its "soft launch" and encourages the readers to look around and see what works and what doesn't. So, please do so. I would like to thank the editors for giving me a chance with this story, as it's been rejected a number of times, probably because of the revenge plot.

RAVEN CAGE part deux

 I can't believe how slack I've been with this journal. I mean, I'm sure no one reads it anyway, but it's always a good thing to promote oneself wherever one can.

So, here you go. A month late, but I am thrilled once again to be published in (the August issue of) Raven Cage.

RAVEN CAGE

Delighted to have six poems in Raven Cage, marking my first appearance in this extensive online 'zine. It is available for free as a PDF.
