Writing Contest Final Round!

[C.W. LaSart]

He's fine. His heart attack was many months ago and he recovered well, just keeping everyone up-to-date. Some fans cried foul when they saw he was on the cover and not in the book, but Mr. Keene defended Slices of Flesh personally in a blog post and just said it was an oversight on his and the publishers parts.

[RichardThomas]

oh man, didn't know that. thanks, CW. hope he's okay.

[C.W. LaSart]

Brian Keene is not in the book-they are fixing the cover as we speak. He had his heart attack at the same time that he was supposed to submit and never got a story in. The publisher forgot to remove his name. New covers will be without his name.

[RichardThomas]

Yes, forgot to mention that it IS a Mike Mignola (HELLBOY) cover. Thanks, guys.

[TerryE]

Very cool. And it looks like the cover is by Mike Mignola (Hellboy). You're in some good company there.

[Dan Hocker]

Nice! That looks like a Mike Mignolia cover.

Good luck! I hope it works out for you!

Good Lord man! I thought you were dead! I'm excited too, MLD

Dead to the internet is more like it. Damn day jobses. I got a call today about a new job that will be permanent. I'm hoping that will iron out my schedule into something regular. I'm a creature of habit and I love my routine. I hope to get one established soon.

[Dan Hocker]

It's in the design phase now. We're hoping for sometime this summer.

Good Lord man! I thought you were dead! I'm excited too, MLD

[mlouisdixon]

so x-cited!

[Ben Staad]

Thanks for the update, Mr. Hocker!

[Dan Hocker]

Is this still in line to be published this year? I'm thinking the stories will be fresh again by the time this thing is released

Should be, there's just a lot going on the designers plate, it's just a matter of when we can squeeze it in.
