I'm getting published!

My short story, 'Falling Shut', will appear in a Fall issue of the well-respected e-zine, Bewildering Stories! God, I'm so excited!

Anyway, about me:

I'm an aspiring writer, mostly writing within the horror and dark fiction genres, but experimenting outside those realms on occasion.

I'm always open to critiquing and suggestions, as well as doing what I can to help others in there search to improve their own writing.

I'm currently starting the last book of Kim Harrison's "Hollows" series, a fascinating sequence of adventures by a bounty-hunting witch, combining the elements of horror and fantasy into a modern-day thrill ride with stunning ease.

I listen to mostly punkrock, psychobilly, texas country-rock, and goth/industrial. I do, however have an eerie fascination with classical and opera as well.

I don't watch much T.V., but have been intrigued by the following shows:

Ghost Hunters
Dead Like Me
X-Files
Kingdom Hospital
Inuyasha
Tales From The Crypt
The Outer Limits

    I'm sorry, but we have had to get another person. That's too bad, I really like your writing =/ You can still join our group and edit it, maybe?

    You must be really busy if you haven't been on for ten days. Are you going to do the story? I liked your writing...or shall I try and get another person. I have already had to do that once. =/
