    I’m delighted to share that I have been published again! Along side my fellow writers from Holly’s Writing Classes, our second anthology – Haunted by Vampires. Edited by Rebecca Galardo, this year’s anthology promises to satisfy any deep thirst.

    Behind a shed door. On a date with a new guy. In the ruins of a city where even vampires have something to fear.

    The old stories won’t prepare you for everyone you’ll meet here.

    In Haunted by Vampires, writers from the Holly’s Writing Classes community bring twenty-six fresh stories, full of terrors, strange appetites, attraction, humor, drama and uneasy alliances.

    Some vampires cherish the people around them. Some keep them captive. Some fight to save a life while others offer eternal life on terms you might wish you’d read more carefully.

    Within these pages, a miracle drug promises an end to illness, hunger takes unexpected forms… as do the vampires.

    Love and loyalty, as always, complicate things. So can a conscience. Some tales find humor in the horror; others bring the terror close enough to recognize.

    Choose your company carefully.

    You may be the only one in the room who has already eaten.

  • I am published!

    I am pleased to present my first publication! Along with a number of other talented people from Holly’s Writing Classes (hollyswritingclasses.com) we present the Haunted By Tarot Anthology! Holly’s daughter, Rebecca, has put this all together to showcase the amazing work and talent of the writing community Holly put together. I am over the moon delighted to be part of this community.

    Every card tells a story. Some whisper softly into your ear. Some my have a warning for you.

    Some never stop screaming.

    In Haunted By Tarot, writers from the HollysWritingClasses.com community draw from the shadows of the Major and Minor Arcana to explore what happens when fate turns over a card… and refuses to turn it back.

    Within these pages, you’ll meet characters stalked by prophecy, questioning their future as they once saw it, put in danger by love – or lack there of. They might be consumed by obsession, or by their own deeds finally catching up to them.

    No matter their fate, one thing stands as common ground: the cards have them caught between the veil of the mystical and the mortal.

    The thin line between divination and damnation spins as each tale unveils a different facet of what it means to be haunted.

    Step into the circle.
    The deck has been shuffled.
    Your card is waiting.
