"Bones III", Published by JWK Fiction

There are bones of the dead everywhere, and they’re sharp. Under your feet as you walk across your yard, in the cement of buildings, under the foundation of your home, in the coffee you drink, in the food you eat. Science estimates 100 billion human beings have lived and died. There are bones everywhere. There are skeletons everywhere, from universities to unnamed places we really don’t want to know about. We love skeletons as we are walking skeletons. There’s an old phrase about skeletons in the closet. What if the skeleton in your closet is real? When we look at strangers, friends and family we fail to see the skull behind the face. And the eyes of skulls are dark and deep. These works of art, poetry and short stories cut deep. To the bone.

Nightmare Stalkers and Dream Walkers, by Horrified Press

http://www.lulu.com/shop/horrified-press/nightmare-stalkers-dream-walkers-volume-ii/paperback/product-21733466.html
Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers contains my short story titled, "Makin' Bacon", which brings a frightened woman face to face with a nightmare and leaves her husband a tasty surprise.

"Nightmare Stalkers & Dream Walkers attempts to invade the dream world, bringing back the weirdest and most terrifying tidbits—all for the amusement of the reader. The authors in these pages have dared to draw from their dream worlds, beating a path through the wilderness of the human subconscious in order to take us to places better left unexplored. But that's okay. Fiction can't hurt us. Neither can dreams. This much we know. We believe it. And yet, somehow, fear lingers, because we cannot be sure... Can we ever fully trust the hidden part of ourselves that seems to have a life of its own? Can we ever feel one hundred percent comfortable with those elusive shadows that flit in and out of our minds, leaving no trace in our memory? We can't help but wonder about dreams... What are they…? -Lindsey Beth Goddard: Author of Quick Fix: A Taste of Terror"

http://www.amazon.com/ABCs-Zombie-Friendship-Essel-Pratt-ebook/dp/B00M69MY6Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1406488983&sr=1-1&keywords=ABC%27s+of+zombie+friendshipAuthored by Essel Pratt
Illustrated by catt dahman

Bonds of friendship exist eternally within the confines of children's hearts. Neither a move to a new town nor an unthinkable expiry can remove the bond that joins true friends together. Not even when one becomes a zombie.

Matt doesn't allow the death and reawakening of his best bud Tate to dissuade him from adventures of youth. In the ABC's of Zombie Friendship the lads remain close and the alphabet expresses their bond one letter at a time.

Fractured Realms: A charity Anthology in Aid of the Autism Trust By Horrified Press

Fractured Realms: A charity Anthology in Aid of the Autism Trust includes a poem written by me, titled "If I Had One Wish".  The poem strays from my usual horror and fantasy roots.  Then again, what is more horrifying than finding out a child will suffer from autism for the rest of his or her life?

"Extraordinary people marked ‘not normal’ come from all different walks of life. For far too long, a shroud of darkness was thrown over those who’ve had boundless potential to transcend greatness; shunned and cast out through the misjudgment forced upon them. People enduring isolation from being trapped inside their own minds. People labeled with an ASD-Autism Spectrum Disorder. Seeds of greatness cannot be cultivated through judgment and condemnation. Imagine a world never having heard the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Never seeing the extraordinary art of Michelangelo? What if Sir Isaac Newton hadn’t discovered gravity, and laws of motion that would be relevant 300 years later? And for all the writers out there…were you aware that Lewis Carroll—author of ‘Alice in Wonderland’—fell under the umbrella of Autism? So to all of you, who are reading this, ask yourself… “Is Autism a disorder, or is it a gift?” Through their short stories and poetry, a collection of talented authors have tackled that question."

Horrified Press, at the direction of Suzie and Bruce Lockhart, compiled an amazing collection in this book. I am proud to be part of this collection and the cause that it supports.
