Just heard from Dr. Pus:
Thirsty has been accepted into Horrorology, and Black & White has been accepted into Ladies of Horror.
A squee was heard ’round the block. I’m sure my neighbor lady thinks I’m utterly insane, but…woohoo!
Six months of silence, and then BANG! Four in a week. *big silly grins*
And – Big Huge Hugs and Thank You to Kody Boye, for pointing me in Doc’s direction.

My long-suffering vampire short story, Faith & Lies, has been picked up by Dr. Pus at Library of Horror Press for the Vampology anthology!
I’m so impressed by what Doc is doing, I’ve just sent out the two available re-prints for other anthologies that are planned.
Faith & Lies is my crazy homage to Judas, My Brother, by Frank Yerby. If you haven’t read Yerby, you’re missing out, and I’m…well…sad for you. I suggest Goat Song and of course, Judas, My Brother.

Hey we’ve got a new distraction folks, New Bedlam has opened up The New Bedlam Cafe at Hangin’ Out Forums.
They’re BEEHIVE FORUMS! *happyskippinggiddydancing* I have so missed the Beehive style of forum. I much prefer them over every other type I’ve been at. After a blow up with ‘friends’ in 2003, I kinda skipped out on all of the forums I used to hang out in at Delphiforums, Refoojeez and Gojabber. I missed a lot of stuff, like Refoojeez closing for one, and Gojabber going down the Go-john. Delphiforums …

The long weekend is over, and I can say I’ve survived three days with the children. With my sanity almost intact, too. This is a super-long post, but I assure you, the laughs and tears are worth it. I mean, if you can laugh at this stuff. And if you do, dude, wtf?
Saturday – Girls had ball practice, oldest younger brother and I had coffee with our HPs, and afterwards we took Sugar to the vet. She has a sprained back (probably from all the insane acrobatics on the furniture) …

Yeah, Justdotdotdot (New Bedlam’s own PR person) convinced me we had to get New Bedlam on Twitter.
So, we did, and now we’re going to do some contests for followers of @newbedlam. The first contest ends May 30th, the second June 15th and the last July 1st. Two winners for each contest will be chosen at random to receive various items, including a poster, bookmarks, a signed (by me anyway) ARC, a gift certificate and more.

Out of the blue, my aunt showed up at my mother’s yesterday morning. Had I been motivated earlier in the day, I could have made it there to see her, but… the girls and I had an off day, since they had appointments to deal with. We didn’t motivate until 11-ish. Well, Care did, but she’s freaky.
Said aunt survived the flood, most of their belongings intact (damage to the vintage ‘work in progress’ vehicles and yard accounted for) and she was not one of those evacuated. She stayed at the …
