Short Story Published
My short story, ‘The Ringmaster’ has been accepted to be the featured story in the October 2009 issue of Orion’s Child Magazine.
This is a sort of a coming home for me, as my first short story, ‘Gnomus’ was published on OC in August 2008.
Did You Know? That my short story ‘The 7th House’ contains the continuation of the same characters that were in ‘Gnomus’? Well now you do.
So click on ‘Gnomus’ above, read the story, then head on over to the Storefront to buy Sinister Tales Magazine 4.2, which ‘The 7th House’ appeared in.
Book Review Published
I mentioned here that I agreed to do a number of book reviews for Withersin Magazine, as I have done some for them in the past. The books came in a week or so ago and I am currently wading through the pile on my desk.
That being said, the first book I read off the list (you can find the list on my original post) is Gord Rollo’s The Jigsaw Man, which has now been published on Withersin’s site. You can read the book review by clicking here.
