Thank Yous

Several "thank you"s are in order:

Rachel Baker posted a lovely review of Covenant and Appetite on her site, Old Musty Books. You can read it here.

Among other things, she writes, "If you are looking for something different with a great story line, I would suggest reading these books. They are very well written and draw the reader into the story, possibly against their will."

I am also thankful to those reviewers who have been willing to consider these books. Covenant began its public life as a small-press trade paperback, but Appetite is a self-published e-book. Thank you to everyone who has agreed to step outside the box with me.

Thanks also go to Mark Eller, host of Chronicles (Blog Talk Radio). My May 28 interview with him is now available as a podcast here and on other podcast sites.

And thanks to Cyrus A. Webb, host of the Blog Talk Radio show Conversations LIVE! and founder of The Write Stuff Literacy Campaign, for inviting me to be his guest on July 6 at 1 PM Eastern Time.

I have behind-the-scenes thanks to give as well, related to my caregiver role. They include but are not limited to doctors, social workers, various staff support members, longtime "friends only" bloggers, and my own personal support network of good and caring friends. Words alone cannot adequately express how much you all mean to me.

Last but by all means not least, hearty congratulations go to editors Vince Liaguno and Chad Helder, fellow contributors, and everyone involved with Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet (Dark Scribe Press), winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in an Anthology.
