Reading During the Covid-19 Outbreak. #Lizzie Borden #zombies

I heard that Amazon is pushing book mailing down on the priority list right now, understandably, in favor of shipping out other much-needed supplies.

But... if you want something to read and crave a print book, check out Bookshop.org to buy print copies of Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter and Lizzie Borden, Zombie Hunter 2: The Axe Will Fall, and have them sent to your local bookstore.  Click the titles for links to both books. Stay safe and healthy!

New #Zombie Drabble, New #Horror Anthology Review

9/17/2019

0 Comments

 
100 word horrors anthology, zombie
I've got a new story, "A Mother's Love," in the recently released anthology, "100 Word Horrors 3: An Anthology of Horror Drabbles."  

My story is one I've revisited several times in different lengths as the theme is a fun one to write and to see how I can change it. The reviewer at EricaRobynReads seemed to like it, too, and gave it a 5/5 rating, with the anthology also getting a 5 rating. Check out the full review at the link above. 
* Get the Kindle version on Amazon. (Paperback coming soon!)

New #Writing Ideas...

Drawing On New Idea Sourcesl!
I know I've been remiss on posting on this blog, so thought I'd do an update.

I've been busy, though, writing newspaper stuff and working on short fiction.

New short-short coming: I recently revamped a short 100-word "drabble" that's been accepted to a new horror anthology. Stay tuned for details.

And... a surprising new idea: Actually, I had this idea awhile ago for a cozy-type mystery, but I let it sit. As often works for me, the idea recently came back to mind, more fleshed-out and looking pretty possible.
 
In fact, I'm kind of excited about it. Change is good. Sometimes you have to switch gears and "draw" on what you like to read. I've always enjoyed reading cozy and other mysteries. So, it's been part of one of my goals to actually write a full, standard mystery.

It's looking do-able, so I'm working on an outline. I want to make sure it goes where I want and that it can be completed before I share more details. Let's say, knowing me, I may slip a little light spookiness in it, too, if it works with the story.

I even checked that the idea hasn't been done - and it hasn't. It's a fun, retro-based idea and something I used to enjoy doing as a kid, too. I won't give too many details until I know it's going to work! So keep checking back for more hints and updates!
