The Farmington Writers Circle Meets Again on August 11

Writing at Starbuck's in Farmington, circa October 12, 2015.

The Farmington Writers Circle will meet next on August 11, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. at Hastings Hardback Café in Farmington, NM.  The topic for the night will be how to generate reviews for your work.

The July meeting was attended by Gloria, Yvonne, Vicki, myself, and by author Delsheree Gladden (delshereegladden.com), whose website describes her as “USA Today Bestselling Young Adult and Romance Author”.  Delsheree provided some valuable insights into the world of publishing.

The Farmington Writers Circle is nascent organization of Farmington-area writers who are interested in finding or developing innovative ways of publicizing and marketing their works.   Meetings are usually round-table discussions, although occasionally a member will lead the discussion when it deals with an area of the member’s expertise.  The public is invited to attend.  There are no fees or requirements to attend meetings, which are usually held on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Hardback Café. Writers of any and all genres or non-writers with an interest in the art are welcome.  For more information, contact me via this website.

Publication Announcement: “Sorcerer”

imageToday, my short horror story “Sorcerer” is slated to appear in Creepy Campfire Quarterly. Many thanks to the CCQ staff for publishing this story, its first time in print.

“Sorcerer” is about a modern-day wizard who comes out of retirement to take a unique vengeance on the boy he holds responsible for abandoning and killing his daughter when she was most vulnerable.

Watch for Creepy Campfire Quarterly at your local newsstand or bookstore.

Drop by, check it out, and give me a “like” to get things rolling.

My Facebook Art of Horror address (https://www.facebook.com/slatterysartofhorror) remains the same, but the title is now “Phil Slattery, Author of Horror and Dark Fiction”.  I intend to give it a more personal focus rather than have it serve as a facebook-formatted version of this blog.   Please ask your friends and acquaintances to “like” and “friend” me as well.
