Ready, Set, WRITE! update week 8?

Ready. Set. WRITE! Ready. Set.

BIG NEWS!

Finally! I can unveil the cover art to the anthology that my short story, The Treehouse, has been accepted into. Published by Seventh Star Press, edited by Scott Sandridge And here it is: thank you so much Enggar Adirasa for your art and vision. You are truly a master. The Chimerical World: Tales from the Unseelie Court will house my story and many others by some darn fine writers. The flip side of the Tales is the Good Fae side, or Tales from the Seelie Court. I think you will agree how both covers are outstanding. I cannot wait to
