It was only a matter of time before someone figure it out, and thankfully the guy who did decided to put it out there for free. I signed up for Kindlegraph so if anyone out there wants a digital "signature" of a Kindle edition of anything I've written, just look me up. I apologize for my sloppy digital signature but my mouse skills are not the greatest, then again if anyone has my real signature, you might not be able to tell the difference. Legibility is not my strong suit.

Shockingly to me, as soon as I signed in I had a request waiting. It may be the only Kindlegraph I ever sign but it was nice to get one so quickly.

More stuff to sell

That's right, on the heels of the amazing Pulp Ink collection comes D*CKED, the most twisted idea for an anthology I have ever heard of, let alone been a part of.

Yep, dark fiction inspired by ex-VP Dick Cheney. And that's me in there alongside PATRICIA ABBOTT, CAMERON ASHLEY, JEDIDIAH AYRES, GREG BARDSLEY, TONY BLACK, KEN BRUEN, JIMMY CALLAWAY, RACHEL CANON, HILARY DAVIDSON, JASON DUKE, BILL FITZHUGH, MATTHEW C. FUNK, HARRY HUNSICKER, SCOTT PHILLIPS ,KEITH RAWSON ,MARK RICHARDSON, AL RISKE, MARCUS SAKEY, KIERAN SHEA, OWEN SMITH, STEVE WEDDLE


Can you believe that? I'm in the midst of all that talent.  Mssrs. Bardsley, Ayres and Shea are the masterminds behind it and I am grateful to them for inviting me to the table. It was a difficult assignment. I started three different stories. I quite like the one I ended up with. A very unexpected narrator. A first for me, that's for sure.


D*CKED is out as a real book and now has both Kindle and Nook versions. As with Pulp Ink, this is a collection well worth your time and a few dollars. Just when you think you've recovered from the scorching Pulp Ink gave you, get some seriously dark fiction and a few laughs from D*CKED. 

Pulp Ink is here!

The anthology Pulp Ink has arrived. I'm very excited to be included in this collection of short stories inspired by the names of music tracks off the soundtrack from the film Pulp Fiction. Everyone has such a unique take on their inspiration title. And who are those everyones? Just look at this lineup:
Allan Guthrie
Reed Farrel Coleman
Gary Phillips
Hilary Davidson
Matthew C. Funk
Paul D. Brazill
AJ Hayes
Michael J. Solender
Richard Godwin
Naomi Johnson
Jimmy Callaway
Sandra Seamans
Patti Abbott
Jodi MacArthur
David Cranmer
Chris F. Holm
Jason Duke
Eric Beetner
Ian Ayris
Kate Horsley
Matt Lavin
Jim Harrington
Nigel Bird
Chris Rhatigan



Yeah, that's my name in there with so many great writers. Everyone is at the top of their game too. Anthology masterminds Nigel Bird and Chris Rhatigan have really collected one of the strongest lineups I've ever seen. Hope you like my story, but really I had an unfair advantage. Of all the titles on the soundtrack, I was handed "Zed's Dead Baby" How could I not be inspired?

This starts the late sumer of anthologies for me. Soon will see the release of D*cked and then Grimm Tales drops in Sept. All three of these are collections I am so proud and flattered to be a part of.

In other news I should have written about sooner but acts as excuse for why I didn't: I'm blogging now for Criminal Element. I've had a few pieces up already and I'm working on more.  It's great to be a part of that community and a really great site for all things crime and mystery fiction. I'll do better to post links like HERE , HERE and HERE .
