Serial Killers Iterum
Some months ago, I posted about an anthology I was to appear in titled Serial Killers 2 via Static Movement. Due to some behind-the-scenes problems out of Static Movement's control, the anthology was instead independantly produced by the editor James Ward Kirk.
The new title is Serial Killers Iterum and is available on Amazon now.

Review by 'Kids Corner for Super Reads'
I'm excited to pass along the review for Graveyard Scavenger Hunt from the family-oriented book review blog "Kids Corner for Super Reads".
This was a really fun story to read and I think it was the perfect start to a very interesting series! It has that creepy feel with the graveyard being right next to Pete's grandparents' house, as well as Pete's grandparents coming off as very mysterious indeed.
Of course, we all know when you tell a kid not to do something-that is the first thing they will do, so it was no surprise when Pete jumps into the graveyard, even after Grandpa tells him not to. It's what happens after the fact that takes us on a thrill ride.
I think kids from 9 years old and up would enjoy this story. It held my attention and I especially enjoyed the bonding time with the grandparents. That made the story much more enjoyable; having some really cool grandparents in it.
I gave it five stars!
Again, a big thank you to the reviewer, Amy Stevens, and her kind review. Be sure to go through the rest of her family's blog for more reviews of children's books.
Amy, her husband, and even her children read and review books for maximum perspective.

Besides our main character Pete, we meet a lot of different characters that bring a lot of different elements to the story. Even Benny Bones. He is a mess indeed. Let's just say he definitely is the bad guy and he does a splendid job of it too!
Some of the other guys in the story are wonderfully imaginative and I enjoyed learning a little about them. Plus, the scavenger hunt idea is so fun to read along with it made me want to get a list and go save the world too! Again, a big thank you to the reviewer, Amy Stevens, and her kind review.

Available Now
It's that time I've been warning you about. NightScares #1: Graveyard Scavenger Hunt is now available. Published by Twenty or Less Press, it can be found on Amazon and Smashwords for the low price of $3.49.
Pete is stuck with his weird grandparents for a whole week. To make matters worse, they live next door to a creepy old graveyard. After going in the graveyard alone one night, Pete finds himself face-to-face with a living skeleton, Benny “Bones” Barton.
The only way for Pete to leave the graveyard is to win Benny’s game, a scavenger hunt. Worse yet, if Benny wins, the dead get to come back to the living world. And Benny is a trickster and a cheater.

Blood & Guts anthology
My short story "The Syringe" will appear in the Static Movement anthology Blood & Guts, edited by Brianna Stoddard. Judging by the title of the anthology, it seems to be a perfect home for this particularly gruesome tale.
Even better news is that my story was the last to be put in, meaning that the anthology has been filled and is in editing mode. It is on the track to be published now.

Anthology Madness
As you can see, I have been busy lately. I'm reprinting several old stories in new anthologies. Several more may be on the horizon, so keep your eyes open.
For the curious, I am doing it in order to, hopefully, jump start my creative juices. My ideas and gumption have run dry and I need that exhilarating spark of seeing my name among other talented authors. I think it's working. Only time will tell.
