I’m in this very cool antho out from WonderBird Press!!! Vampire Survival Guide: An Anthology for Cautious Immortals (Monstrous Guidebook)! Here is the Amazon link if you’re interested in this spookiness 🙂

In my story Change of the Guard, a Cold War border guard vampire spy struggles to survive through the fall of the Wall that has protected his mission and his very existence. This story begged to be written after I ran across an old pic I took at Checkpoint Charlie, back in the day.
ABOUT the VAMPIRE SURVIVAL GUIDE
WonderBird Press says: “So you survived the turning. Congratulations! But with sunlight, stakes, and stranger terrors lurking around every corner, how will you make it through your first year, let alone century, of a vampiric existence? VAMPIRE SURVIVAL GUIDE provides seventeen cautionary tales from your fanged fellows, hoping you won’t have to make the same mistakes to learn some valuable lessons.”
COMING UP!
November or December this year: I’m sending a much lighter story I’m Merrier Than You – call it spooky adjacent –Â in the Haunted Holidays anthology by Camden Park Press! This would be great for those moments of relaxing with a cozy cuppa. I’ll update this blog when that link is live for purchase.
QUICK LOOK BACK:
I had a fabulous time at DragonCon 2024, already signed up for DragonCon 2025. Attended an anthology workshop by WMG, and sold two stories, a cozy mystery and a haunted tavern ghost story, both due out in 2025. I’m doing a 2024 words per day writing challenge since earlier this year, finishing up next March. And…the most recent news as of last week…I’ve been accepted to the Western Colorado University Creative Writing MA program, Publishing concentration. More to come on that.
Wishing you all health and happiness this season! May it be just as spooky as you’d want it to be. 🙂
