...after this brief commerical interruption.
I just wanted to let everyone know that SHE NAILED A STAKE THROUGH HIS HEAD: TALES OF BIBLICAL HORROR in which my short story "Jawbone of an Ass" is reprinted has an official release date: October 19. It's also available NOW for pre-order on Amazon.com
"Jawbone of an Ass," of course, first appeared in that second Wyrdsmiths' chapbook, NEW WYRD, which is also available for purchase in the sidebar of the Wyrdsmiths' Blog. It's not an AngeLINK story, per se, but it's very much in the style of. I've described the story to other people as my IRA/Samson story, but a niftier blurb might go like this: "What would it be like to know that God is absolutely *not* on your side? 'Jawbone of an Ass' is a modern day retelling of the story of Sampson’s first wife (known only as the woman of Timor), who slowly comes to realize the horror of knowing she, through no fault of her own, is on the wrong side of the wrath of angels."
"Modern" is actually a slight misnomer because, if you know your Irish history (and I'm sure you do,) it's quite clear that the story takes place in the early 1980s / death of Bobby Sands in London/Derry, Northern Ireland.
Also, if you happen to be in the Twin Cities area for CONvergence next weekend, you can stop by my editor Tim Lieder's signing at 2:00 pm on Friday, July 2 at CONvergence and pick up an early copy. (Note: I won't be there this year, as we'll be driving through Gary, IN on our way to visit relatives in Valparasio.)

I'll probably compose a short day-in-the-life blog later tonight/tomorrow to catch y'all up on my daily news. I need to get writing now, though, because I'm going to be picking Shawn up soon to go grocery shopping. We haven't been to the big store since sometime in April. Our cupboards are very old Mother Hubbard.
