NEW: The Curator

My writer's group, The Hourlings, has a new anthology that includes my story: SALVAGE MISSION

===

And why is the Curator's body in a high-tech cargo container filled with priceless works of art?

When a salvage ship stumbles on the debris sphere of a long-lost colony transport, they're not expecting to find much. Spotting an intact cargo container within the debris, they're surprised. Especially when they discover it's still got power. Inside, a skeleton in a spacesuit immediately dubbed "The Curator." And hundreds of lost, priceless paintings. All maintained at safe temperatures by an onboard fusion generator.

Who is the Curator? How did the Curator survive the explosion that destroyed the transport? Knowing that rescue was impossible, why did the Curator spend the last few months of dwindling life support writing stories about the paintings?

In this unique anthology, nine writers take inspiration from real paintings, included in this volume, to explore the life and final days of...the Curator.

--Available in Kindle and Paper editions!

Another Story Published

This week lots of good stuff is happening.

My short story THE WINTER ARCHER was published in the Hauntingly Romantic Winter anthology!

The description from Amazon:

Dark. Romantic. Frigidly beautiful. Not all fairy tales are meant for children.

A Hauntingly Romantic Winter is a collection of new, previously unpublished fairy tales. This winter, curl up under the blankets, drink some hot cocoa, and let The Otherworld’s writers immerse you into a brand new world. 

Magic, love, and mystery abound in this adult-themed fairy tale book. Let the freezing cold, the glittering frost, and the howling wind be softened by a layer of dreamlike stories. Inside this collection, you will find warmth and shelter from the outside world, while entering magic lands filled with faeries, cryptic women lurking in forests, magical mirrors, archers and hunters on a quest for glory and more.

Drift into this story collection and be ready to shiver with delight.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Silence of the Apoc

Tannhauser Press Call for Submissions.

This is the foundation document for the short stories in the SILENCE of the APOC anthology.

Here is a set of common items all the submissions must include:

• The stories will be set after the Zombie Apocalypse has occurred. It could be the day it hit or a year later. It struck in the spring of 2017. The stories are from various locations around the world.
• Society was utterly destroyed in less than a month. No government, no media, no power grid remains.
• No one knows why or how it happened. None of the stories will solve that mystery.
• Anyone that dies for any reason will become a zombie. The dead will turn Two to Ten minutes after they die, even if they were not bitten.
• Zombies can only be killed with the destruction of the brain.
• The zombies dry out and mummify the older they get. They will last potentially for decades.
• Zombies hear and see and smell to find prey. It’s all they do.
• They will eat any mammal they can catch. Cats, dogs, rats, cows, horses, deer.
• Zombies get slower the older they get. Fresh ones can run and fight hard. Old zombies are shamblers.
• Zombie bites will not kill you outright. You die in 24 to 48 hours. Symptoms include sweating, extreme thirst, eventually fear of water (like rabies: Hydrophobia).
• These stories should be character driven and about survival. They are not stories the figure out how it happened.
• Stories will take place in a variety of locations: Urban, suburban and rural. Even desolate places. The focus is on survival.
• Stories should be 5,000 to 20,000 words.
• Authors will be paid between $25 and $100 per story if accepted, with signed agreement.
• All submissions are to be delivered in MSWord format. Garamond 12 will be used. Scene changes will be separated by “ *** ”.
• SILENCE of the APOC will be Rated R.
• Volume 2 and 3 are already planned so the deadline is continuous.

Reliquary

I am super happy with our new anthology: Reliquary

Every aspect of this collection has enjoyed great attention to detail. The stories have a common theme. Each story contains a relic of some kind. They represent a wide variety of speculative fiction.

The short story I wrote for Reliquary, No Help in the Truth, is my first published work that is NOT science fiction.

I have to also mention the art design theme of this book, both interior and exterior. Huge thanks go to John Dwight for all his work on this project!

I will appear in a couple more anthologies this year. It has been a pleasure writing short fiction and other genres.
