Happy Halloween!

Before we get into the shameless self-promotion, let’s flash back to 2015 when I asked folks to contribute a two-sentence horror story. I got a lot of cool submissions, so go check them out and, once you’ve had your fast and cheap scare, come on back.

Today is your LAST DAY to take advantage of the superhero fiction giveaway! Jump over to our group page on Instafreebie and choose from several titles for all ages and tastes. Sign up for their newsletters and get a free e-book as a thank-you. Sign up for my newsletter and you’ll get a copy of Action Figures – Issue One: Secret Origins! If you know anyone who might be interested in this promotion, please spread the word.

WRITING PROJECTS

Well Behaved Women: I wrapped up a second draft of book one and am trying to focus on book two, but I have some plot work yet to do before this will really get rolling. In the meantime, I’m continuing to lay out the groundwork for a cool cover photo shoot early next year. I’ll share details as they come.

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – book four: First draft in progress.

Action Figures – Issue Seven: The Black End War: Fourth draft finished, in the editing process.

Action Figures – Issue Eight: Crawling from the Wreckage: Third draft written.

Action Figures – Issue Nine: Rough plotting in progress.

Action Figures – Issue One: Secret Origins (audiobook): Review completed, final editing in progress.

MISC.

Last week the staff of the Connecticut Renaissance Faire got together for a postmortem on the fall 2017 season, and the consensus was that it rocked pretty damn hard. I’m proud I could be part of making that happen.

And I’m already looking forward to the spring show, Robin Hood’s Faire, which is relocating to Lancaster, MA. For once, I’ll have a short drive to the show! Woo-hoo!
