March-ing Onward

So, here we are in March.

Time has zipped by once again, but that's okay.  Things have been busy, busy, with all my writing efforts, which in the last few weeks have consisted of a number of guest blog posts and a few upcoming guest blog posts.  So, rather than posting some of my little essays as the months move forward, I will be bringing those guest posts home.

In the meantime, I have good news to share.

First off, the Spring literary awards season is under way, and I'm thrilled that I've received one honor right out of the gate.  Oddities & Entities has placed as a Finalist in the Horror category of the prestigious ForeWord Reviews 2012 Book of the Year Awards.  Final award placement will be announced in the coming months (I'll have to hold my breath until then).

Second, I received a very nice review for Oddities & Entities from 'The Paranoid Gamer', a blog which gave O&E a feature spot.  Comprehensive, and a proper blend and balance of subjective and objective critique, Mr. Flatt's review should be a model for writing reviews.  Check it out here:

Third, I'm almost done with my manuscript prep for my third book, Prism.  For this outing I want to show some of my narrative range through different expressions in genre and written word.  Say what?  Well, it's a fancy way of saying that half the book will consist of my published short fiction, and the other half will be all new fiction.  I think it should make a nice follow up for readers who are discovering my writing through my various publicity efforts.  

And, with that said, here's a book tour link update:

I've updated the link list on an earlier post, but I simply haven't had time to keep both my website and this blog current.  So, to even the field, here's the current book tour rundown.  All the links for 'posted' events are specific to the blog pages with my event content.
