Inspiration can strike at any time, coming in the unlikeliest of places.

With the release of the BISHOP RIDER LIVES anthology I got the idea to make and start promoting it and my other books using fake magazine covers.

Below is issue #45

Keep telling your stories. The world needs them. #BookSky

This from the author who brought us "Ay, Carmela," a dark and satisfying tale of long-overdue retribution against fascists.

I feel so embarrassed for Black Friday. Like, it used to be a nice TV so cheap that you would camp outside of the store overnight and kill a man with a toilet plunger, and now it's like, SURPRISE BESTIE, 10% OFF RETURN ADDRESS LABELS IF YOU GIVE US YOUR PHONE NUMBER!!!! Have some dignity.

The very first fiction I ever had accepted for publication was selected/edited by Gordon Lish in 1995. Yes, *that* Gordon Lish. Here's the story/the story behind the story, which includes details about the famous editor's edits and how I learned that an acceptance does not always mean publication.

A haunted house!
Five different eras of inhabitants all experiencing the same supernatural event in one house—where no one has died and no violence has filled its halls. Yet, specters lurk in doorways, blood runs down walls, fire climbs stairs, and no one knows why…

happy #fridayreads! if one of these wonderful reviews is yours, thank you! Hope to have big new news to share soon, leaving a review or buying What The Dead Can Do probably wouldn’t hurt.
