EVENT: World Fantasy 40 Recap in Photos

Image
EVENTS I had an unforgettable time at World Fantasy 40 held at the Crystal City Hyatt this year. Saw so many old friends (including 21 Seton Hill Writers! ), finally made face-to-face contact with social media acquaintances, and met a ton of new writers and readers. Kudos to Peggy Rae Sapienza, Michael J. Walsh, Colleen Cahill, Bill Lawton, and the entire WFC 40 committee on a job well done. Looking forward to next year.

COVER: The Revelations of Preston Black by Jason Jack Miller

COVERS THE REVELATIONS OF PRESTON BLACK BY JASON JACK MILLER Coming June 2013 from Raw Dog Screaming Press Cover Art by Brad Vetter Preston and Katy face a new darkness.... Sometimes a battle between good and evil doesn't look much like the ones they show in movies. The good guys don't always wear white, and they don’t always walk away with the win. And sometimes you're better off with the devil you know. The last time Preston went down to the crossroads, his best friend died and he nearly lost his brother. But Old Scratch doesn't take kindly to fools, especially not those who come knocking at his front door. And before all is said and done, he's going to teach Preston a thing or two about what it really means to sacrifice. Read the first 100 pages of The Revelations of Preston Black!
