As it says on the tin:
Last night I got my contributor’s copies for the Twin Peaks-themed issue of Makeout Creek, and the issue’s a beaut. I’m grateful to everyone at Makeout Creek who made the issue happen, and particularly to Andrew Blossom, who edits thoughtfully, communicates thoroughly, and makes Richmond a better place.
The Big Bad II

Hartness and Emily Lavin Leverett for Dark Oak Press and Media, this anthology features stories from a wide range of authors working in F/SF/H.

Available later this year from finer purveyors of insanity-inducing fiction.
I am delighted to announce that “Pale Apostle,” a short story that Jesse Bullington and I co-authored, will be appearing in The Children of Old Leech. Scheduled for release in summer of 2014, the stories in this anthology take place in the world of Laird Barron‘s Old Leech mythology. I’ve previously had a thing or two to say about that, and so you’d be right in guessing that the story was an absolute thrill to write. The full table of contents is TBA, but I’ve started to see posts like this one popping up from Mike Griffin, Orrin Grey, and Jeffrey Thomas.
I’m grateful to editors Ross E. Lockhart and Justin Steele for including this piece, and to Jesse, who extended me the invitation to write the story together. It was my first time co-writing fiction in a very long while, and it was a giddy experience. We created something together that actually creeped me out at a few points during the writing, so I’m hoping it will work for readers.
