Notables
There are still some seats left in the class I’ll start teaching in a few weeks at the University of Akron (Akron, Ohio) – ‘So You Want To Be A Horror Writer’. A description of the class; including cost, classroom location, dates/times and how to enroll can be found here.
Adam P. Lewis recently had two short-short stories picked up for the upcoming Anthology – Daily Bites of Flesh 2011 (tentative release December 2010). One of the stories, ‘The Pond’, features charaters named after my fiance’, Sheryl, and myself. I’ve read the story already and found it quite good – even though something not so nice happens to me during it.
As you know I had a film showing/book signing last weekend. There are still plenty of DVDs of Cake Batter available (see below post on how to order), but I also have a few (6) copies of Night School that I brought back with me. The first six people that email me will get it for only $15.00 (that’s 10-bones off the cover price). Shoot me an email (address can be found under the Contact page to your right) if interested.
Call For Submissions
Jessy Marie Roberts and Myself will be Co-Editors of an upcoming Anthology that will be published through Pill Hill Press during Fall 2010.
Fem-Fangs is an anthology of short stories (1k-7k words), allowing readers to delve into the alluring lore of the female vampire.
To read more about the project and/or to submit a story for consideration, you can check out the official Call For Submissions on Pill Hill’s website or by visiting the posting on Duotrope.
Good Luck!

To Read & Ponder
Tom Erb recently posted on his blog, ‘A Crisis of Creative Faith: Fact or Fiction?’
I think all aspiring authors feel this from time to time. You can check out his blog, here.
The Vanguard
You may remember that about a week ago I got an email from Dean Harrison asking me what my definition of horror is for his college newspaper. Of course I went into a little more detail than just giving a flat definition and then sent it off to him. You can read the article I wrote here.
Using mine and other various sources, Dean then wrote an article of his own about horror literature for his college newspaper, ‘The Vanguard’ at the University of South Alabama (Dean is a Contributing Editor at the paper). Though Dean was supposed to send me a copy when it came out (and, hell, perhaps I’ll still get a hard copy – though, I more like busting his balls about it now), I did find the article that was published in ‘The Vanguard’ on April 12th. You can read the article here. Well done, Dean!
Fall Writing Class
As you know, you can now enroll in the class I’ll be teaching this summer at the University of Akron (Akron, Ohio) – ‘So You Want To Be A Horror Writer’.
A description of the class; including cost, classroom location, dates/times and how to enroll can be found here.
In addition, the class will now also be offered during the Fall semester. The class will have the same weekly format, times, costs, etc. The Fall class has a tentative start date of September 14th and will run for 5-consecutive weeks. So, if you can’t make the summer class for whatever reason, here’s another chance to join in the fun later in the year. You can’t enroll in the Fall class as of yet since they are doing enrollment for the summer, but I wanted to put it out there so you can mark your calendars now, so you don’t go off and plan a late-summer vacation or anything like that. Besides, what’s better than spending time inside a classroom when it’s warm and sunny outside, right?!

The Gentle Art of Collaboration by Brian Keene
I first provided the following link to the article on Brian’s site about a year ago. Since that time, it seems that collaborating on projects has taken up quite a bit of my own writing time. And although, I’ve personally enjoyed working with the various writers I have over that same period of time, there are things for you to consider before diving into the world of working together with someone else – especially when you’re first starting out. So, without further ado, here is the link. Again. Enjoy.
