It's February 6th, and there is a new Dear Reader. Everybody has a resolution for 2012. This is mine.
Quote of the Week: I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot. Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Big news for this year: a new book! Prime Books is aiming to put out a second collection of my stories in November. Yes, this November. Wow! Big fat thank-yous to Sean, Paula, and especially Sally.
My story "Cold Water Survival," initially published the great Ellen Datlow's Lovecraft anthology, is live! and in color! in The New Cthulu anthology, edited by Paula Guran over at Prime Books. Me and H.P.: we're like this.
I'm keeping my favorite blurb up because it's my favorite: "I read this one during a flight through a bad storm, and at one point the plane shook so violently that everyone screamed and some passengers started praying. My thought was: Now I'll never find out how this book ends." -- Fantasy Book Critic
