I have also learned a couple of tricks to collecting followers on Twitter, which seem to be effective. For example, I created #JasonBrody yesterday and he already has 270 followers, the vast majority of which probably do not know that … Continue reading “Operation #WholePerson Update”

Tonight I have been working on the final draft of the paperback version of “A Tale of Hell and other Works of Horror”.

Last week I received my hardcopy of Creepy Campfire Quarterly #3 containing my short story “Sorcerer”. My sincere thanks to Jennifer Word and her staff for publishing this story, which is one of my favorite works, but which has been long in finding a home. “Sorcerer” is the story of a former sorcerer, who has … Continue reading “Announcement: “Sorcerer” has been published in Creepy Campfire Quarterly”
