My poem, "Great Old Ones", has been selected for a commemorative poetry chapbook celebrating the release of the stage production of Brian Keene's novel, Terminal. Details below:



In conjunction with the world premiere of Brian Keene's Terminal at the Paul Bunyan Playhouse in Bemidji, MN on February 27, 28, and March 1, a commemorative poetry chapbook will be given to some of the sponsors of the production (along with other copies being raffled off for charity). All poems are limited to one page in length dealing with subjects concerning horror, suspense, and/or the paranormal (think Edgar Allan Poe, Robert E. Howard, H.P. Lovecraft, et al).

There'll be a poetry jam following the performance. Too bad we're a tad far from Minnesota but anyway, I'm honored.

It's a cool poem. It was told to me in dream. By Cthulhu. While he sleeps in R'lyeh.

Really.

Fl'llenghtwan!

I received confirmation the other day that my second non-fiction piece, "Between Baby & Basketball", has been accepted into Bethany House's upcoming inspirational anthology, Love is a Verb. Although my third nonfiction story didn't make it into Howard Books' upcoming anthology "God Sightings", (maybe it was the title: "And God Gave Us the Finger?"), I'm happy to see my non-fiction credits grow.

This, I think, is what I was meant to do: explore all SORTS of themes in fiction, and express my faith in straightforward, nonfiction pieces. I've received another submission call for the next inspirational anthology, (no publisher secured as of yet), so I'll be tooling around with that over the next few weeks as well. Pre-order it on Amazon.

 

Wait, a horror story acceptance and faith-driven acceptance? Yep. That's just the way I roll.

Snuff Books has released its first anthology entitled Raw: Brutality as Art. Along with my short story "A Willing Donor", the anthology features a number of tales tackling the theme of art found in the savage mind of Man himself. Unlike other horror anthologies, readers may not find many mythological creatures within the pages.

Official Synopsis of Raw: Brutality as Art: Snuff Books brings you a collection of stories that find the beauty in the brutal and the art in the absurd. Including tales of orchestrated mayhem, flesh sculpting and gourmet cannibalism, Raw: Brutality as Art features work from some of the genre's best up and coming horror and bizarro writers. Includes stories by Inanna Gabriel, Brandon Ford, Frank Roger, Steven L. Shrewsbury, R.J. Cavender, L.L. Soares, Kevin Lucia, Jessica Lynne Gardner, Eric Enck, James Roy Daley, Stephen Couch, Trever Palmer, Andrew Wolter, and Brendan Connell.
