A bunch of us have been discussing book ratings…
Sparks in the Wind by Shirley Meier
With great joy, I want to announce the re-release of Shirley Meier’s book, Sparks in the Wind. I had a lot of fun editing the book. I also came to love the characters.

Here’s something that should have horror fans shivering in their boots. John Manning is editing an anthology titled “What Scares the Boogeyman” for Perseid Publishing! Since John is a friend of mine, I prevailed upon him to send me some of the stories he has accepted for publication. Folks, you are in for a treat! […]
