Story acceptance, and Bay Area connections

It's almost the end of the month, and I'm preparing several projects for various publishers, agents, anthologies, etc. Mostly much of the same going on as how the month started, but many promising things in the future.
For one, just got an acceptance from Horrorfind.com that they will be publishing my story "After The Fall" coming up shortly here, and it will run for 4 months after that. Horrorfind is a great site. You should check it out when you get a chance. Particularly if you like horror!....
Last weekend I went to the Sonoma County Book Faire. Not a whole lot going on, but I got to connect again with friends from Borderlands Books in San Francisco---Alan Beatts, Jude Feldeman, and Carrie, who have been staples at the last number of conventions. It was nice to see them again, at least. The next con that I will be attending will be Spookycon in San Francisco at the beginning of next year. Looks like it should be a pretty good one. Hope it goes well for those putting it on. It will surely be a harken for more things to come our way in the Bay Area---which will be nice.
Well, that's it for now. I have writing to do.
There should be updates coming to my site before too long, so keep checking back.

Post Con Season--submit, submit, submit

Have just finished with my convention attendances for the summer--and the year---and have several projects on the burner now. The last two cons were Horrorfind 2002, and Conjose in San Jose just this past weekend. It has been a very busy couple of weeks.
In addition to the video game I am still writing, I am now working on the expanded version of "Primeval Fear" (by a publisher's request), editing my novel, "The Eye Of Atum" about the release of an ancient race imprisoned in Egypt to prepare it for submission, and working out some new ideas for my long suffering Lycanthropy novel "A Heart As Dark, or the Vertical March." (My were-wolf isn't exactly a were-wolf. It's actually something that I fear myself. Those that know me well should be able to figure out what that is.) Still waiting to hear back on my novel, "Our Lives Are But Shadow" which is my take on the angel myths, and have just sent out "To Suffer A Witch" to an agent that looks promising. Also, I have got some interest in another novel, "A Pure State," which is about the systematic destruction of culture and art in Afghanistan. My review of Diana Barron's "Phantom Feast" should be up at Feo's site soon, and I have to work on my next review. So, I am very, very busy. Rest. What's that?
