Speaking of cats…
… in the service of keeping the Yard current, and cat-friendly – here’s another slice-of-life animation from the fellow who brought you the last cat cartoon on this blog.
Well, I guess it’s out of the bag…
… the cat, I mean, now that facebook pal and horror writer/editor Brett Savory has made public, complete with flattering facebook photo, my participation in ChiZine/Leisure‘s 14th Short Story contest. So here it is: This week, I graciously accepted Brett’s invitation to join a panel of judges to look over short stories submitted to ChiZine

Look out for Jim
Well that’s a cryptic old title line, isn’t it? In October it will be a tiny bit less cryptic, when Tesseracts Twelve comes out, with my novella “Wylde’s Kingdom” taking up large amounts of real estate between its covers.

A Mention – Honourable
Just got my copy of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror – Twentieth Annual Collection, an anthology series that’s had a warm place in my heart since the eighth one, which contained my story “The Sloan Men.” No stories by me in this one, but I note that one was noted, by long-time YBFH co-editor
