commented on Toasted Fiction: A Collection Of Very Short Stories (That Nobody Asked For)
Hey everybody,
So it's been a big week. First and foremost, last Saturday was the first ever Inkshares Review-A-Thon. I wrote a couple of reviews for the interplanetary adventure Dax Harrison and the fairly self-explanatory Dracula V. Hitler (books you should check out if you have the chance) and then talked about writing and the publishing experiences with other Inkshares writers in a google hangout. That's right, you too can see my compete ineptitude with technology and hear me heavily breathing into a microphone by following this lovely little link:

Big thank yous to JF Dubeau, Paul Inman, and Cara Weston (whose idea this was) for allowing me to participate in such a huge way. You should definitely check out their books as well--The Life Engineered, Ageless, and She Is The End--all soon to be published on Inkshares.
Now I know many of us are or will be traveling over the next few days and those long car rides can be killer. Well, nothing passes the time quite like some good old-fashioned...er...new-fashioned audio drama. First of all, there is a little horror number I did for the 2014-15 Midnight Audio Theatre Scriptwriting Competition that went up this week. Listen to "Last Transmission" here:

Then there's the season six finale of the audio drama series I write for, Our Fair City. The episode is called Uninsurable Risk and not only does it close out another spectacular year of work on our part, but features none other than Welcome to Night Vale's Cecil Baldwin! Don't believe me? Here's my proof:

So yes, lot's of exciting things happening with more on the horizon. Until then thank you all and Happy Holidays.
I have decided to write down my story. I know this may seem vain of me, but after living for 300 plus years, I think I have a right. Plus I would like my readers to know the true story of the “monsters” they call Vampires. Reader, we aren’t all bad and in fact, I consider myself to be quite nice. However, the tale I am writing down is of one of the worst ones I have known. He was my maker and yet after I learned his true nature, I despised him. His name was Valentine and it all started when he. . .

As always, a huge thanks to everyone supporting The Talkers are Talking! Funding ends mid January so I don't think we'll make the full funding option, but Talkers will be published with Quill and that is entirely due to all of you. Thank you thank you!
Love,
