Exuberant congratulations to Michael Kelly for his Shirley Jackson award! It’s truly a fantastic anthology, and I’m elated to have been a small part of it with my story “Engines of the Ocean”.

An Errant Conduit: Exchanges with Adam Golaski

I cannot emphasize how eye-opening Adam Golaski’s work was for me. I wouldn’t dream of comparing my writing to his, but I felt a kind of symmetry on my first reading “The Animator’s House”. It felt as if I’d stumbled across a writer far more skilled than I, but was interested in following non-traditional paths of storytelling as well.

And what can I say about Clint Smith? His stories are time and again the superior entries in many an anthology, and I read him with an equal mixture of awe and despair on realizing I’m just a pleb watching someone consistently hit their mark. I’m eagerly awaiting his sophomore collection due to be released next year.

WTMIn upcoming months, a conversation will be available between Adam Golaski and I—an exercise (which has been structured as an interview) that began in the autumn of 2017, one in which I was reluctant to conclude late last winter (the publication venue will be announced in due time).

About a year ago, Scott Dwyer (steadfast champion of the horror genre and editorial superintendent of the “nightmarish and…nebulous” site The Plutonian) had achieved breathing perverse life into his publicational labor of love, Phantasm/Chimera:  An Anthology of Strange and Troubling Dreams, for which he had a specific vision, fulfilling a specific vision for creating a project with a singular roster of writers.

In addition to writers, Dwyer’s “cast” included writers who I’d previously established contact via reader-writer interactions on social media, namely Jon Padgett, John Claude Smith, Matt Bartlett, and Chris Slatsky.  Still, there were others whose…

This site expires on the 4th of August, and I see little reason to delay the inevitable. I post infrequently, and only started the blog 3-years ago in hopes it would help with the writing endeavor. Suffice it to say I don’t think this has been the case. I figure it’s best to wrap things up as I have nothing forthcoming on the publishing front. What I’ve written is out there. I will of course change my mind and continue if something comes along soon, or I might start a new blog if things pick up in the future. But for the time being I can no longer justify wasting even the modest $20 annual fee to keep this thing open.

On a more positive note, I cannot offer enough thanks to those who took the time to swing by here to read an entry or two over the last 3-years. Your kindness, generosity, and thoughtful messages have been a source of inspiration to me.

Thank you all, and all the best to everyone.
