As we sit on the couch munching potato chips, most of us don’t kid ourselves that we could be just as talented, just as fast, just as strong . . . if only we had the time.

Posted by KJA | Business, Short Stories, Writing |

I've finished going through the mountain of submissions I received for BLOOD LITE 2: OVERBITE. I was pleased to see such a great selection of humor and horror, with a lot of very near misses. I have filled up the book with 31 stories...a real feast with a wide range of subjects, a half dozen New York Times bestselling authors and a host of award winners—we've got winners of the Bram Stoker Award, the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, the World Fantasy Award, even the Grammy Award. The anthology will come out from Pocket Books this Halloween, 2010. Here is the...
