I wanted to post something else but I've been too busy to even keep up on things that are happening. Aside from taking a new position at the daywalker job it looks like I'll be swamping you with new releases very soon so I guess I better catch everyone up (including myself!)
In the immortal words of Matthew McConaughey... Alright, Alright, Alright. It hasn't been a super long time since I posted an update but things have been happening. First, I took a promotion at the daywalker job to Assistant Manager, not because I desired to be in middle management again but I needed more hours and consistent paychecks and it was the only position available - needless to say going from 24-32 hours/week straight to 45 hours/week has been a big change but it was needed so I ain't bitchin! Meanwhile... it seems the good news on the writing front just keeps on coming and I ain't bitchin' about that either! Since my last update several things have happened in my writer life so I'll try to catch y'all up without boring you to tears... I hope!
I believe since I last posted an update of everything I have being released this year I've had one book released (100 Word Horrors: Part 2), two new accepted stories and a couple of release dates & cover reveals. Don't worry, even I'm having trouble keeping up with everything! I'm still waiting for the paperback version of 100 Word Horrors: Part 2 to be available which will hopefully happen sometime this week or next (by the end of March is what I'm hoping for) - I'll share a link here, of course, once that is available.
Also I have been informed that NGHW: Editor's Picks should be released this week from HorrorAddicts. I'm still waiting on the official release date but I will have that along with a book blurb to share in the next couple of days. No matter the date you can expect that to be available by the end of the week (so long as Amazon doesn't screw that up). The editor's picked my essay (from the Blog Post Challenge) titled, Horror Addiction: Is There A Cure?, as their choice for this one. It was the first time I attempted to write something humorous just for fun so I hope everyone enjoys that. I also just completed an interview to coincide with the release which will be available in the few days also (of course I'll share a link to that too!).
The second release date I can share is for Flash Fiction Addiction from Zombie Pirate Publishing. This awesome collection of flash fiction (stories of 750 words or less) will be unleashed on April 15th! I'm proud to have my tale, Death Revenge, sit alongside some excellent authors. My tale is about a man who goes fishing after killing his nagging wife but learns that karma is a bitch! I had a ton of fun writing this one so I hope you'll pick up a copy. When I have a pre-order link I'll share that as well. I'm also awaiting the cover reveal to share also.

Also since last I updated you I have had two more stories accepted for publication. One from a publisher I was hoping I'd be able to work with and the other with a publisher I've worked with numerous times and absolutely love! Both anthologies will be out before the end of the year which means that all I need is one more acceptance and I will have a complete dozen books being released in 2019 on top of the novel which I am desperately trying to finish editing! It has become the bane of my existence but let me tell you about these two new acceptances...
My tale, The Forgiven Ghost In Me, has been accepted for a revenge themed anthology from Death's Head Press. I do not have a cover reveal or exact release date yet but I know their plan is to have the book out sometime this summer or early fall. When I have all the pertinent info I will share that with you, obviously. The Forgiven Ghost In Me is a tale that probably won't be one for anyone who is claustrophobic or scared to death of nature's creepy crawlies. In the story Brett Rowland wakes up trapped inside a box and that's as good as his day will get. It is a revenge tale but who's getting revenge and for what? It seems that Brett has a secret he thought no one knew. If he can remain calm while all sorts of nasty critters are released inside the box with him then perhaps he just may survive... that's a big IF! I hope this one gets under people's skin and makes it crawl for days!!!
Lastly, my tale, Everything Dies, has been accepted by Hellbound Books Publishing for the anthology, The Devil's Hour! I've worked with HBB on several books including the release of my novella, Essence Asunder, so working with them again is like coming home. Needless to say I love HBB and everyone associated with them. They have been great to me thus far and I will continue to work with them in the future, I guarantee it! Everything Dies is about a mildly successful writer, Peter Steele, who longs to be a great writer. After setting up his very first home office he decides to play a prank on his nosy old neighbor. Peter finds out quickly that witches do not take kindly to pranks or to those who merely write terrible things. Peter ends up getting the lesson of his life, one he will pay for dearly! The Devil's Hour should be released sometime this summer so as soon as I have the date and pre-order links I'll be sharing them!

So, yes, I should have a full dozen books coming out this year since I still have a few pending acceptance. I never thought I'd get to a point in my writing career where I honestly can't remember the last time I had a story rejected by any publisher but that's where I'm at currently. I lost a contest last year but that's not the same as a rejection. I'm sure there will still be some along the way but honestly, they don't sting any more when they do come. I try to look forward not back so if something gets rejected I just send it to someone with actual good taste, LOL! Anyway, I really have too much coming out which makes it difficult for me to keep everything straight, not just with release dates and what not but who I have or haven't returned a contract to and that sort of stuff. On top of working more hours at the day job now it's hard to keep it all straight but I'm trying. To that end I've made a list (of course!) of everything accepted and confirmed with their release dates if I have them. If you're a fan (I sincerely hope so) save this list and I'll provide updates every time I have them.

I just noticed I had another acceptance I forgot to mention! See it's hard to keep all this shit straight! My tale, In Our Blood, has been accepted to Deadman's Tome Ezine for the March edition. I don't know the exact date it'll be posted but you can bet I'll be sharing it once it is available. In Our Blood is one that I originally wrote a couple years ago for a flash fiction contest which it didn't win but I still like it anyway and hopefully you will too now that you'll be able to read it! The story is about a gold digger who finally gets what's coming to her when she learns her dead husband's terrible family secret! It is coming soon!
Yes, I think that's finally everything though I'm sure I'll get behind again before I have a chance to update everyone. I'm about to enter a story into another contest because, yes, I am a glutton for punishment. I still have a few stories pending acceptance so getting to a dozen releases with the novel on top like the icing on the damn cake is certainly possible. Speaking of cake though I'm about to make a lemon blueberry cake because I can, I want to and it'll make my lovely lady happy and really there is no better reason than that. I'll have a blurb/promo for NGHW: Editor's Picks before the end of the week and perhaps the other post I had in mind if I have the dang time! So until next time...
