Halloween Picks: The killer, the detectives and the hopeless romantic.

Don't you love Halloween?  The cool fall weather (if it ever drops out of the high 80s here in Florida), the early sunsets, the horror movie marathons and horror novels stacked to the ceiling.  Who could ask for more?

So here, gentle reader, are three seasonal suggestions.

For the hardcore horror enthusiast, try Blood Fruit, an anthology of gay and lesbian horror available from QueeredFiction.  Buy it in paperback or kindle formats.  "Hollow" is a vicious little thriller about a serial killer who will go to any lengths to keep his secret.  Violent and hollow, Theo's a man to be feared.


If the violent stuff is not your cup of tea; if you're more of a Scooby Doo, Hocus-Pocus kinda person, try "66 Hours in the Devil's House."  It's gay romance with a spooky, kooky air available from Dreamspinner Press.


And for the hopeless romantics, a supernatural tale of love that lives on beyond the grave.  My first novella, "The Marriage of True Minds: A Ghost Story" is available in kindle format or in other eformats from Dreamspinner Press.

Hate is illogical.

Here's 50 Cent urging our brothers to kill themselves:

Thanks Zachary.  I loved you before, but now you're a hero too.

Summer's End. Back to the Words.


I've been away for the summer, but I am back behind the keyboard working on a great short story about frat boys and circus performers.  (Yes, somehow they are connected.)  I've got a couple of other short stories in mind for the next few months including a sequel to "For Luck" (Daddies, Cleis Press).
I've got plans to expand "The Ambivalent Gardener and the State of Grace" (Muscle Men, Cleis Press) to novella or novel length.
I have some new stories coming out in the next few months, so be sure to check back or friend me on Facebook (the link is in the column to the right) for all the details.

Excellent review of "Muscle Men" and my story "The Ambivalent Gardener and the State of Grace."



Story Excerpt:
"You know that bitch Nancy has to come out and sit on that damn porch swing every time Jericho sets foot in that yard."
"Slut," Wanda hissed.

"Bitch," Sherie's voice stretched the word out like a string of summer taffy. Bee-itch. "And why does he have to spend so damn much time out there in the yard anyway? Planting bulbs and pruning the roses and mowing the damn grass? Why doesn't he just let me get a couple of Mexicans to come do that stuff? Maria's brother said he'd give us a g...
