Beginning with the June 2010 issue, Niteblade is no longer including book reviews in the print version.  The book reviews will be available in the News portion of the site.

My review of Unholy Embrace by Neil Benson is now available.  It’s about a mortal who meets and falls in love with a vampire.  Kate Beckinsale was the inspiration for the vamp.

It is December 1st and that means Issue #6 of Niteblade is available!  Inside is one of my book reviews.  Rhonda is so full of awesome.  She completed NaNoWriMo 2008 and got the latest issue out on time. 

Rhonda has a special offer for five bloggers right now.  The ad free .pdf version of Niteblade is $2.  The first five bloggers to leave a comment with the address of their blog in the Niteblade News post titled “Issue #6: Oh, Christmas Tree” get a free issue.  The only catch is that the blogger must promise to blog about it and send Rhonda the link.  Hurry!  No one has left a comment yet.  :)

Did you see my published Flash Fiction piece yet?  It was in the September issue of The Shine Journal.  You can read “The Monster Under The Bed” here in the Twinklings archives.

I was going to give up on my drabble that’s been under consideration for 216 days at one market until the other day when I found out they are still looking at items from over 300 days ago.  So I’ll keep it there a bit longer.

This month I was busy with Book Blogger Appreciation Week, The Writer Mama Back to School Giveaway, and trying to post here more often.  October is going to be busy for me as well since I have a vacation out of town and preparation for NaNoWriMo.  I have to get more submissions out between now and November when I’ll working on my next novel.  If I thought I was a planner before, well, October and November are going to put me to the test!

In May I participated in a writing challenge where I wrote one short story a day based on a writing prompt.  One of my flash fiction pieces “The Monster Under the Bed” has been chosen for the Twinklings page in the September issue of The Shine Journal.  The Twinklings page is reserved for short stories that are under 200 words in length.

The Resident Corgi was my source of inspiration.  I wavered between calling it fiction and non-fiction on the submission form.  Fiction won since he’s not all that frightening to me when he’s hiding under the bed and he’s lived here less than a year.
