I am excited to announce that I did my VERY FIRST radio interview last week! The interview aired on KAFM 88.1 on their community program:  Conversations@KAFM. It was a lot of fun and something that I hope to do more of !  You can listen to the interview here: http://kafmradio.libsyn.com/readers-radio-scenes-from-the-carnival-lounge You know... I could get used to all this fame… ;-)

The latest revision of the cover from the publisher. I am happy to announce that my Italian Sonnet "The Vampyre's Last Dawn" will be included in the 2018 collection of poetry ( Speculations ) from the Weird Poets Society!  The volume is due to be released in January or February of this year!

I was thrilled to see this Four Star review on Amazon for Scenes this afternoon... "Scenes From The Carnival Lounge explores, 17 short stories, the dark and disturbing recesses of what is possible through interesting, and sometimes complex, characters. Each story leads the reader through a macabre passageway into the character’s reality that, with each turned page, becomes more inky until the character and reader alike are unsure whether the character has gone mad or has always been mad. These are quick reads, that are engrossing and visceral." <<happy dance!>>

I was trying to estimate just how many hours I spent putting this collection together. I thought maybe a couple of hundred at first, but then calculated that amount to be only a couple of months! This project took YEARS to complete...many thousands of hours, I suspect. Great to finally have it FINISHED and in hand!
