Cover art: "Monsters in the Closet" by Michael Pucciarelli, www.poochisland.com/

Dark Scribe Magazine/Dark Scribe Press has been unveiling -- slooooooowly and torrrrrturously, one day at a time -- the bios of contributors to its Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet anthology, which will include my story "Memento Mori." My bio went up on Friday. You can see it and the others unveiled so far at

And I've gotten the new flyer for Riffing on Strings: Creative Writing Inspired by String Theory, which contains my story "Arachne." Contributor's copies are en route and the anthology is available for order. Release is June 1. More info from Scriblerus Press is at

*****Gold Stars***** and hearty thanks go to my Art Center colleagues who contribute to our monthly newsletter, for getting their articles to me on time. My travels have cut the June issue's production cycle by two to three days.

Speaking of book promotions, I got this URL for Dennis Cass's hilarious gem
