My short story ‘Rescuing Isaac’ was accepted for publication in the next issue of Thuglit.
My short story ‘Good Shepherd’ made the cut from “nominated” to “Finalist” in the Derringer Awards. It is one of five stories in the ‘Long’ short story category. This story was nominated by David Fraser, the editor at Ascent Aspirations Magazine, where the story originally appeared in the November 2005 issue.
As a member of Short Mystery Fiction Society, I was able to nominate two stories. I nominated stories by two of my friends (both were great stories)–> “In The Pocket” by Colin Conway and “Hell Hath No Fury” by B.J. Bourg. Bourg’s story also made it to the Finalist stage. Colin’s was in one of the two middle categories, which is where the largest number of entries also were, so it was a tougher field (my own ‘If Only’ and ‘Baker-124’ didn’t make it out alive, either).
And I finished the first draft of a short story this weekend called “The Cleaner.” No, it is not a hit man story. But it is a crime story. The main character is a guy who cleans up crime scenes after the police are done.

I am now taking pre-orders for both Seven By Seven and Under A Raging Moon.
One pre-order will be randomly selected to receive their copy FREE!
Another will be randomly selected for a FREE prize (most likely a limited edition Seven By Seven T-shirt!)
Once the book is released, there will be similar FREE giveaways!
You may reserve a copy of either or both FOR NO MONEY DOWN.
Simply email me by clicking HERE and let me know which book you want (or both!). I’ll let you know when they’re available and what the price is.
I will gladly sign any copies (and will do so with big, dopey grin on my face).
If the book needs to be mailed to you, I will ship them for free for anyone who pre-orders.
Seven By Seven is due out April 15 and is priced at $13.95. If you order from me, you get a discount—> $11.95 (unless you win the free copy)!
Under A Raging Moon is projected for a “June-ish” release date the price has not yet been set.
Order now...beat the rush! [grin].

My web designer, tobejodok, did some major tweaking of my website to make it more readable and accessible to visitors. Hope you like it. And if you need some web work done, he’s a wiz!
