The Anti-Cruelty Project.

Everyone knows how much I love animals (especially when compared to people). Some creative friends of mine from agencies across the country have formed the Anti-Cruelty Project, a collection of ads, posters and commercials, available free of charge for use by organizations working to put an end to animal cruelty.

I know a lot of you are involved with shelters and rescue groups in your area; if you would share our site and let them know about this great opportunity to make a difference in an animal's life, we'd really appreciate it.

The Anti-Cruelty Project.

Here are a couple examples of the work we're putting together.

 


The project is dedicated to Kingston and Ludwig, two innocent dogs whose suffering inspired us to stand up and do something, when so many others stood by and did nothing.

It's a little hard to see, but there I am, on the cover of Cemetery Moon #9. Go get your copy today!

Manly? Yes.

When we were kids, my brother's hero was Grizzly Adams. I'm sure he'd appreciate this spot, were he to ever join Facebook. (My brother, not Grizzly Adams.)

That Smell.

Funny stuff.


 

Flash Horror Contest.

There's a great Flash Horror contest going on over at the Pseudopod forums right now. Flash fiction, for the purposes of this contest, is limited to 500 words or less, so all of the stories are super quick reads. Since the stories are so short, you can easily read an entire round over lunch. Unless you have a weak stomach, in which case I'd recommend waiting until bedtime. Maybe even read a couple to the kiddies.

There are 153 entries total, including two from me, but I'm not allowed to say which are mine, in order to keep the voting honest. It's only two rounds in, and I've already read quite a few that are better than my entries, so I have no illusions about winning.

Every three days a new group of 11 stories will be posted, so you'll always have something new and (hopefully) scary to read throughout the month.

In order to read and vote on the entries, you have to register for the forum. Follow this link for registration instructions.

So Sweet.

Every day a new finger is chopped off. Genius.

WTF Target?

I've held off on commenting about these commercials because I've had a hard time coming up with words to describe how much I hate this campaign.

Any suggestions?

The Quantum Dead.

So The Walking Dead doesn't come back for three more weeks. That doesn't mean you have to wait that long to get your zombie fix. My new story "The Quantum Dead" is in this month's issue of Sanitarium Magazine.

Digital copies are just $2.99. Get yours today!

I is a Published Author.

Remember when I said a story of mine had been picked up by Cemetery Moon?

Well, I just found out last night that it's also being published in Suspense Magazine.

Yay me!

We Interrupt this Blog...

Sorry for the lack of updates lately; been hellabusy at work, and my remaining free time has been spent polishing off a couple of short stories, one of which I'm proud to report has been accepted for publication in the next issue of Cemetery Moon.

Once the issue comes out, I'll post a link in case anyone wants to buy a copy.
