Market News: They Can Never Find Out

Double pleasure in this announcement. A story I published in an anthology a fair number of years ago has been picked up by Deadman’s Tome – their March to the Grave war-themed edition. Aside from seeing this story get a new lease on life, it is also great to share the TOC with Deborah Sheldon. This is a Texas publication, but it has two Aussies contributing to it.

Market News: Old Bones, Young Bones is published in The Refuge Collection

Pleased to have my psychological horror piece, Old Bones, Young Bones published in The Refuge Collection (6.2). It is the second story of mine that got into that great collaberative effort, edited by Steve Dillon.

This story is probably the most disturbing I have written yet, in part because it is inspired, and was partly re-told, from a real conversation I had when I was much younger  – and reality is the most disturbing of all things in this world.

It is currently available as a stand alone ebook, but it will later be incorporated in an anthology. This is the link to the stand alone – support this great cause!

Love the artwork by Will Jaques 🙂

Market News: ‘Denying the Thrill’ published in Creepy Campfire Stories (for Grownups) EMP Publishing

Very pleased to have my short story, 'Denying the Thrill', set in Melbourne, Australia, published in the pro anthology, Creepy Campfire Stories (for Grownups) by EMP Publishing. Also pleased to have my story take first place in the TOC. This is a story I enjoyed writing, exploring an unusual state where a man could predict when people died by smelling, viewing, touching their blood. This is a very good anthology, with a heap of excellent writers – I would recommend purchasing it. It was just released today through Amazon (PRINT and KINDLE).

Market News: Short Story to be published in The World of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror

Very pleased to see my name formally announced by Robert N Stephenson, editor of The World of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror anthology (Altair Australia), that my story, An Incident at Prnjavor,is in the TOC. A rather gruesome, WWI Eastern Front ghost story. I enjoyed writing it, because it has an interesting backdrop, with interesting characters, a bit of a twist at the conclusion. Looking forward to seeing it in print in January 2016.
