Holiday Wishes and Goodreads

Holiday Wishes and Goodreads

This week at The Confabulator Cafe, we are sharing our feelings on the holidays. My views have become conflicted in recent years. You can read all about it at http://www.confabulatorcafe.com/2012/12/holiday-wishes/

Also, if you are a Goodreads user, feel free to connect with me there. I usually review every book I read. Discussing literature is one of my great loves. Feel free to comment there, as well. http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1295160-jack

The New Year is coming fast, and I have a lot of stories scheduled to be published in 2013 in such publications as Epiphany Magazine, The Rusty Nail, Bete Noir Magazine, Separate Worlds, and Wicked East Press. It should be a good year. Keep checking back for updates.

Happy Holidays,

Jack

Santa Claus is Coming

Santa Claus is Coming

It is time for the next installment of the Straeon Manor series over at The Confabulator Cafe. My contribution, “Santa Claus is Coming” is now available. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Straeon Manor stories, they all take place in the same house, in different rooms, in different years. It is a pretty graphic horror story involving two writing students sitting around a tree getting stoned on Christmas Eve. I hope you enjoy it.

Toolbox Stocking Stuffers and Another Acceptance

Toolbox Stocking Stuffers and Another Acceptance

Over at The Confabulator Cafe, we are celebrating the gift-giving season with gift ideas for the writers on your list. I address the writer’s toolbox in my entry. Don’t be afraid to give a writer tools for their work. We love our work. It isn’t any different than getting your dad that circular saw.

Also, Epiphany Magazine has accepted my short story “Waking” for publication in February. More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Failure and other F-Words, plus an acceptance

My last Nanowrimo Confabulator Cafe blog is up at http://www.confabulatorcafe.com/2012/12/failure-and-other-f-words/. Read about my mixed mixed emotions regarding Nanowrimo this year.

Also, Separate Worlds has accepted my flash fiction piece “Collectors” for publication in their January/February 2013 issue. I’ll post more information as I get it.

Thanks for reading,
