Look what came in the mail! My physical copy of Locus Magazine, which I’ve had a subscription to forever. Really, if you’re a genre writer, you need a subscription to it. It’s mandatory rite of passage, etc.
Anyway, it turns out I was in Locus this month, with my picture and everything. I was in the book announcement section, where they mentioned my two book deal with Underland Books. The two books? A short story collection called The Skinless Man Counts to Five and Other Tales of the Macabre, and a new horror novel Cancer Eats the Heart, about a girl raised as the antichrist, and the cult of ritualistic serial killers who hunt her and her friends.
