    Hi guys, lurker with something to share.

    Some of you may have read my story Jumper in Stephen King's On Writing, or seen my work in Nightmare Magazine and other places.

    My new book, Black Cat Mojo, has just hit the stands. Available in ebook & paperback.

    It's a wild ride. Hope you'll check it out & help me spread the word.



    http://www.cometpress.us/books/blackcatmojo.html

    It’s almost as if someone smashed Dashiell Hammett’s seamless noir patter, Elmore Leonard’s pitch-perfect ear for hapless characters, Quentin Tarantino’s sardonic sense of irony and Clive Barker’s unflinching portrayal of sexual pain/pleasure into a blender, mixing in a heaping helping of Stephen King’s pop culture mise–en–scène framing. Howe bobs and weaves, pulling it all together in a denouement that is as satisfying as it is completely unexpected.

    And my little haiku placed in the February Necon Flash Fiction Challenge: http://neconebooks.com/flash-fiction/
    Great essay and Haiku Mark! Congrats! It's cool that Douglas Clegg commented on your essay

    Thanks, it's hard to get any kind of coherent narrative in a haiku, but I enjoy the challenge.

    And love that haiku! It bumped Tales from the Midnight Shift way up in the queue.
    Bless you.

    I'll be doing a horror writer's workshop this weekend in Greenville SC with James Newman. We recently went on the local news to promote it.
