Hot Times, Back to the Aquarium and Sorting Things Out
Posted by kristipetersenschoonover
My New Year’s Wish tag was JOY—and all I can say is that so far? That’s been right on! What a month!

I finished writing a short story, “Hot Times at the Dinosaur Bidet.” Set on New Year’s Eve 1999, everyone’s waiting for Y2K to happen (or not?)… but there’s something far worse out there, and it can’t be stopped.

Posted by kristipetersenschoonover
I was thrilled when, recently, Peter D. Schwotzer of Literary Mayhem dropped me an e-mail to tell me about a new feature on his site—original fiction—and asked if I’d provide a story.
I chose the “winter tale” spot for January 24, 2011—I have something in the works horror-wise that I hope will be everything Peter’s looking for!

I’m excited and honored by this opportunity! To read the announcement in Literary Mayhem’s Fiction News, click here: http://literarymayhem.com/wordpress/2011/05/13/original-fiction-news/
