Stopped off at the bookstore yesterday to pick up the last installment in a new series by Christopher Golden. I really enjoyed book one and am just about to start on book two. I also looked for some Brian Lumley while I was shopping and was fortunate enough to find two short story collections in the clearance section. Love when that happens.
Last night was poker night over at a friend's place. It's a once-a-month game that I always look forward to and seem to do rather well at. I ended up winning both games for a total profit of $95.00. I suspect this extra cash will translate to further additions to my library. There are a few books on my amazon wish list I've been meaning to purchase for a while now.
Managed to get a flash in over at LH today. It's only my second flash in the last 3 months, so I was a little rusty, and ended up writing a vignette rather than a full story, which is basically what I set out to write, so I guess that's okay. As of right now, I like how it came out. Tomorrow I'll probably feel differently.

Kaleidotrope #4, which features my story "Half-Sneeze Johnny" is now available. This is one of those cool offbeat mags that you should definitely check out if you haven't already. Plenty of bang for your buck. This is my second (and hopefully not last) appearance in K's pages.

Poetry
"Househunting on Mars" by Bonita Kale
"Praise for What I Don’t Know" by Thomas Zimmerman

Artwork from Remi Treuer, Rod Walker, and Lisa Willis -- and assorted other fun! I hope you'll consider picking up a copy. For just $4 ($6.50 international), it's a steal -- and all that money goes directly back to my contributors, keeping them happy and fed!
And, amazingly enough, two years of this hasn't quite deterred me yet! I'm accepting submissions for issue #5.
