Holy smokes! Rigor Amortis was just named one of Barnes and Noble’s top ten zombie fiction releases of 2011! You can see the entire list in their zombie fiction article.
I can’t say enough good things about this anthology–it’s sexy, sad, touching, gross, silly, and a whole lot more! I’m very proud to be one of the contributors.
If you don’t already own this one, you can pick it up at B&N or even Powell’s!
To me, H.P. Lovecraft’s words are powerfully evocative of the chilly spirit of both early autumn and early spring. This is one reason I’m so pleased that a piece I wrote at the Rainforest Writers Village (a wonderful writing retreat that happens every spring up in the Quinault Rainforest) is now available for your autumnal delectation. I was reading a lot of Lovecraft up there in the cold north woods, and it inspired this sequel to “The Dreams in the Witch House.”
I hope you enjoy “Curvature of the Witch House.”
I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for a good werewolf story. Any tale where ordinary people
grow hair and claws and wreak havoc in another shape makes me happy.
That’s why I’m excited to say that the anthology Beast Within 2 was released this week! It features my story “Solitary Instincts,” the story of a werecougar in 22nd century Portland.
You can order this one from Amazon or from Graveside Tales, but if you buy right now at Graveside, you’ll save $2!

Mark your calendars!
I’m very excited to be part of a great event promoting The Way of the Wizard, the wonderful fantasy anthology edited by John Joseph Adams. I’ll be reading from my story “The Secret of Calling Rabbits,” and the wonderfully talented Christie Yant will be reading from her piece “The Magician and the Maid and Other Stories.”
If you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, my fossil poem, “Stone Queen,” runs through the end of the month at Abyss & Apex.
The poem was inspired by Sue, the T Rex who lives in the Field Museum in Chicago. I definitely recommend the book Rex Appeal: The Amazing Story of Sue, the Dinosaur That Changed Science, the Law and My Life, by Peter Larson, the man who discovered her (and several other remarkable tyrannosaurus specimens). If you like dinosaurs, the book will fill you with the urge to go dig one up!
Here’s a great picture of Sue in Chicago:

I’m doing a spot of housecleaning in my virtual realm–it’s time to shake up a new look and get up to date.
