Well, a number of these entries, mine included, have been collected in a small paperback (104 pp) edited by <strong>Nick Kaufmann</strong>, called <strong><em>Jack Haringa Must Die! 28 Original Tales of Madness, Terror and Strictly Grammatical Murder.</em></strong> They did this, aside from the It Would Be A Hoot Factor, to raise funds for the newly established <a href="http://www.shirleyjacksonawards.org/" target="_blank">Shirley Jackson Award</a>. Though the book is currently available from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Haringa-Must-Nicholas-Kaufmann/dp/0809573113/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1213792971&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, if you <a href="http://www.darkfantasy.org/shirleyjacksonawards/sja_jhmd.htm" target="_blank"><strong>order directly from the Awards Website</strong> </a>they keep a much higher percentage of the price for the fund-raiser. You can also see the full table of contents, which includes some pretty major names (hey, I'm in there after all, lol).<br /><br /><p>Also want to give a shout to <strong>Michelle Pendgrass</strong> and her fellow horror writers over at the <strong>Indiana Horror Writers </strong>organization, who've released their first anthology, <strong>Dark Harvest</strong>, with stories from <strong>Michelle</strong>, <strong>Michael West</strong>, <strong>Marcus Broaddus</strong>, <strong>Bob Freeman</strong>, <strong>Tracy Jones</strong>, <strong>Sara Larson</strong>, <strong>Tiffany Proctor</strong>, with an introduciton by <strong>Gary Braunbeck</strong>. Ordering information for this trade paperback can be found at <a href="http://www.cairnwood.net/darkharvest.html" target="_blank">http://www.cairnwood.net/darkharvest.html</a>! </p><p><em>Nightmare in Greasepaint</em>, a novella I'm working on with <strong>L.L.Soares</strong>, is coming along nicely. As well, finally diving back into the novel, <em>Lost in the Woods</em>, after a hiatus. About 26,000 words, so still have a long way to go, but slow and steady progress forward.</p><p>No further news on <em>Solomon's Grave</em>'s release next year in the states, or <em>Plague of Darkness </em>in Germany around the same time. More as I hear anything, about these or my other hapless works.</p><p>On the short fiction front, "Box" is set to be released in the upcoming <em>Coach's Midnight Diner 2</em>, but not sure when or who else is in it at the moment. I think it's coming out earlier as a promotional story in the next issue of <em>Relief Journal</em>, but I'm not listed as a contributor so not sure about that. We'll know soon enough. <em>Relief 2.2 </em>is set to be released this summer.</p><p>Finally, "Living by the Highway" is still slated for an upcoming issue of <em>Cemetery Dance Magazine</em>, maybe as early as issue #60 or the next. When i Iear, you'll hear.</p><p>OK, bye. </p>Dan Keohanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03384842120569729261noreply@blogger.com
