The Year So Far…(and a pretty good one to boot!)

I started out the year with some modest goals while I tried to build on the beginning success of last year.  2011 was my first full year of writing and I finished the year with 10 stories in 8 anthologies.  My goal was 5, so I thought I did ok.  Raising the bar higher for …

My Review of Rainstorm Press’s “Mutation Nation”

When I first opened the package containing the book, I was greeted by this really great cover hiding all sorts of wicked mutation fun inside.  Rainstorm Press put together a really good-looking book, but I was curious as to if the tales would stand up to the theme.  Almost all of the tales fit really nicely, …
