And…we’re off! HPLFF CHALLENGE FROM BEYOND 2024
I’m thrilled and honored to announce I was invited to participate in the 10th anniversary of the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival’s CHALLENGE FROM BEYOND! I was assigned to kick off this round robin-style piece*, and I’ve officially—as of yesterday—completed my contribution and have passed the baton to Andrew S. Fuller. After him will be Molly Tanzer, Maxwell Marais, and Wendy Wagner!
The working title for this story is “Questionable Morel”—but it could, possibly, change. Either way—it’ll be published as the flipside of Lovecraftian Microfiction Volume 10, coming this fall/winter. I’ll keep y’all posted when you can pick it up—and watch this space for info on getting your streaming tickets for the HP Lovecraft Film Festival!
These volumes make fabulous cosmic Christmas gifts. If you’re interested in past volumes (many are out of print—these are limited edition), the ones that are left available on their site are Vol. 9 (which contains my microfiction, “Independence”) and Vol. 8 (which contains my microfiction, “Sea Legs”). The CHALLENGE FROM BEYOND 2015 and 2016 editions are also still available (but there may not be many copies). You can get those books HERE: https://arkhambazaar.com/books/

Awesome announcements: “What the Ocean Knows” and “Sea Legs” accepted!
This washed-up eel grass and the ghostly prints of my boots inspired my short story, “What the Ocean Knows.” This photo was taken at Scusset Beach, Sandwich, MA, September 23, 2022.
My newest short story, “What the Ocean Knows,” has been accepted for publication in Sirens Call eZine Issue 60, Winter 2022! In “What the Ocean Knows”: A grieving Mavis finds comfort in afternoons spent talking to the sea… until the day the sea talks back.
This is a free online ’zine that has loads of good fiction, so I’ll let you know when it’s released and you can download your copy.
In addition, my microfiction, “Sea Legs,” was one of thirteen winners in the 2022 H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival and Cthuluthon Microfiction Contest, and will be published in Lovecraftian Microfiction Volume 8!
