THE COMING made it to the Second Round!

Found out today that my novel THE COMING had made it to the second round in the 2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award!  The judges took the initial 5,000 entries and cut them down to 1,000 for the second round.  Now, I'll have to wait until March 22nd to see if it'll make the Quarter-Finals (cut down to 250)...I'm just happy it made it through the first cut!

Dark Moon Digest Submission

Entered my first horror writing contest Saturday morning!  Took the first chapter of my in-work novel SKINNER, formatted it as a 1,700-word short story, titled it A REAL PAGE TURNER, and submitted it to Dark Moon Digest's quarterly short story contest.  If they decide to publish it, I'll win a whole $10.00!  Woo hoo!  (The REAL prize will be seeing something I wrote in print!)
