I know many of you are finishing up your taxes, that springtime blight. I've done mine for the first time as a widow, and it was about as fun as I expected.
Lest you think the piles of W2s and 1099s swallowed me up, it's time to let you know about the other amazing projects I've been working on.
The first is ready for you now! My historical short story, "The Lake," has come out in the award-winning
Dark Gothic Resurrected Magazine. The April issue is chock full of spine-tingling delights. My contribution makes use of Jungian imagery to pay tribute to one of my favorite poems ("The Lake"). The poet, Edgar Allan Poe himself, shows up as a young man in this story to have a transformative effect on an impressionable girl. It doesn't get much more gothic.
I never thought of my self as a horror writer, but more and more, I'm attracted to the psychological aspects of scary stories. If it has something creepy or uncanny, I'm there! There's something for all your horrifying needs in this issue of
Dark Gothic Resurrected. It's also available
from Amazon.
I'm proud to say the folks at Kindle Press have included
Awash in Talent in a big sale:
150 Kindle Books for $1.50. Time to make my zany Rhode Island book the bestseller it should be! This unique piece of art and labor of love won't cost you more than a cup of coffee
until April 30.
I'm also busy assembling superauthor outfits for not one, but two events this spring:
April 29: Spring into Art at the Saint Helens Public Library will see me reading briefly from
Seven Noble Knights with many other talented authors. I'll also be at a table where you can purchase
Seven Noble Knights,
Awash in Talent,
Unpredictable Worlds, or
Tree/House and get them signed right before your eyes! I look forward to talking with you on April 29.
May 3: I return to the place where I first lived with my true love and fulfill a life dream:
A reading at the Harvard Book Store with Q&A about
Seven Noble Knights! If you're near Cambridge, I encourage you to show up for this free event, which will also feature wonderful memoirist Nadine Kenney.
It's sure to be standing room only, so come early! The bookstore has signed copies available for preorder, too!
Photos and videos to follow.
