[info]kevinhurtack Brat! Okay, here we go:


My ex - is an ex for a reason.

Maybe I should - go for a walk

I love - my hubby, my mom, my extended family, animules

People would say I am - chuckle worthy? (I don't know!)

I don’t understand - How you can dislike someone for having a different opinion from yours.

When I wake up in the morning - I bring my rattie girls' cage into the living room, make coffee, take my meds, go to the lavatory. (TMI?)

I lost - my innocence (a long time ago, and I am not talking about THAT, perverts!)

Life is full of - twist and turns and wondrous discoveries

My past is something - that I've learned a lot from and helped shape who I am today.

I get annoyed when - people freak out over little things

Parties are… not really my thing, unless they are laid back and casual.

I wish - humans were not so greedy

Dogs - Love 'em

Cats - are okay, but dogs and rats are better. lol

Tomorrow - Sunday, and I get to talk to me mom.

I have a low tolerance for - stupidity

If I had a million dollars - pay off debts, convince my mom to move here, buy Steve a motorcycle

I’m totally terrified of - The people I love most dying.

Stone Masters A Vampire's Reckoning --- Review

"This is one of the best novels of the undead that I've read in ages – and I've read a lot of them! It's elegantly and impressively written, and the author weaves her compelling tale back and forth between the centuries as effortlessly as a vampire steals a kiss. The characters, human and other, are fully realized and even the most monstrous among them is driven by all-too-human emotions and desires. The highest praise I can give Stone Masters is that the author is now on my "must read" list. I can't wait for her next book."

If you are a diehard Barker fan as I am, this will annoy you. Support Clive and his work, and let's try and get The Midnight Meat Train the release it deserves. Horror is not wimpy PG-13 all the time, folks. We need variety. And when did we become such wimps? Yes, I am not a fan of gore without purpose, but the gore and story Clive Barker can wrap together create a gut-wrenching tale, indeed. Let the horror people police themselves, and let us decide what is too brutal for us to see in the theater by simply choosing not to attend. Support Clive and The Midnight Meat Train!

Horror fans, take note... in a time when a PG-13 'Prom Night' remake tops the box office, but movies like 'Trick 'r Treat' and this one struggle to even get released, these are getting to be worrying times for our beloved genre.

This is a damn shame. I'm sure most of you have read this piece of news already. It's pretty apparent that Lionsgate isn't going to give this film the wide release that we've all been expecting. Now they're trying to rush it for the DVD release. Hopefully, we can help make a difference. We want everybody to have a chance to see this baby on the big screen.







Here's the plea from Clive Barker Himself:

http://www.clivebarker.info/newssavemmt.html

"My Dear Friends,
As you may or may not have heard, due to certain politics, "Midnight Meat Train" is in danger of Lionsgate not giving it a wide release. The below email was brought to my attention earlier today and shows a movement, of sorts, in order to get the picture the proper support and release it deserves. I'm asking you to please help spread the word in order for all to enjoy this film. I want to passionately encourage everybody who cares about my work to use this chance to change the minds of the folks at Lionsgate. I'm excited at the prospect of a movement of people who care deeply enough to initiate a campaign such as this.









Anything any of you can do - be it emails, web postings, word of mouth, and the like - to help encourage this movement would be deeply appreciated. The film is worth the effort in my mind, and I do not want to see my work fall by the wayside.









If any of you have any further ideas, thoughts, or suggestions to help with this effort, please let me know. Thanks, as always, for your help and support.



"

Much Love,
Clive

News from Joel Sutherland: Two Reviews, One Hardcover

From Joel:

It never ceases to amaze me when people have nice thing to say about my work, and I got a double dose this week. First, The Fix has positively reviewed the first issue of Tales of Moreauvia. Jason Sanford had this to say about my story: 

"The imagery of this story is topnotch as Sutherland does an amazing job of recreating the harsh condition of the old-time lumber cutting world."

He then goes on to say some other things...

Second, World of Myth has positively
reviewed (you have to select your language, then scroll down and look for the link on the left hand side) Fried! Fast Food, Slow Deaths. Jezzy Wolfe had this to say about the collection: 

"The editors, Joel A. Sutherland and Colleen Morris, have done a bang-up job putting together a strong anthology of original terror that will appeal to everyone's taste buds."

In other news, I just found out that Shroud Publishing will be releasing a hardcover edition of Northern Haunts, marking the first time my fiction will be published as such. To quote Jack Nicholson, "and that ain't bad."

They couldn't keep them confined.
     Now they're out of their minds.
     The dark ones have woken.
     No words can be spoken.
     Before the last is bitten.

Sinful Moments Press and Erotic Romance

Looks like I will be acting as a senior editor for Sinful Moments Press, Carole will be the EiC, until we acquire more staff for the new erotic romance imprint. Remember, those interested in applying for positions as editors with SMP, we do ask you have prior editing experience with erotic romance. Send your inquiries for the job to: publisher@lachesispublishing.com  and louise@louisebohmer.com  and I can forward any inquiries over to Carole, as well.

You may just see some Louise Bohmer erotic romance fiction up in the Appeteasers section of SMP, in the future, but I won't say much about that yet, as I have people to contact about my reprints, edits to apply, and then submit them, of course. If they pass inspection, and if all goes through well, I'll let you know where and when you can read some reissued Louise Bohmer erotic shorts.

VCon 33, and New York in late October

  • Jun. 8th, 2008 at 7:14 PM
louise, fiction, bohmer, dark, fantasy
So, I am going to attend VCon 33. It is official, and I am nervous, very nervous. I've never sat on a panel before, so those of you that have (Debbie, Jodi, Christine, this means you, helppppppp!), I would certainly appreciate the advice. I told Barbara I'd be happy to sit on as many as four panels, if the time of each one makes it possible. Was that insane? Remember, this is my first time speaking on a panel, folks, so I am not too proud to beg your esteemed advice, those of you who are old panel pros.

I've chosen:

Summoning Your Horror Muse

Dark Fantasy: Is it Really Just Another Name for Horror?

Alternate Routes to Publication

Horror -- Where is the Line?

E-Publishing -- Pros & Cons & Who Reads It?

 

So, wish me luck, folks. We need to get on tickets, and try to schedule the layover in Castlegar on our return, so I can go see mom, and mom-in-law can go visit Bonnie. Mind you, mom-in-law has to go for an operation on her neck, and the specialist would like to get her in asap. Once the surgery is done, she'll have 2 to 3 months recovery time, so it might end up Steve travelling with me, but we will see.

Then, in late October, Carole has invited me to attend a convention in New York with her. I have told her I would love to come, so it looks like October will be a busy month for me. I can't remember the name of this convention, I have to get it from Carole again, but she was invited to take pitches for Sinful Moments Press at it, and so, it will be a great learning experience for me to tag along. I need some experience with pitches, as I'll have to take them, too, in the future.

So, that is all for now, folks. I have to get back at it, and when I get the name of the con from Carole, I'll let you know and post the link. For those attending VCon 33, and for those in the New York area where this con will be, I hope to get to meet some of you there!

 

Best Wishes for a calm Sunday,

 

Louise

While hunting for the true suspect, Sergeant Spinelli confronts obstacles from the US Marshals Service, who are protecting a federal witness in his district, his stagnant and paranoid police chief, and several inter-agency disputes. Also during his investigation, Spinelli, whose self-described love life includes 'two ex-wives and a handful of past live-ins', encounters his former high school sweetheart, Annie, and rekindles their relationship.

It doesn't help that her would-be lover, Tomeso Lulliano, has seamy criminal connections of his own.

Let's chat.  Cassie Fremont thought of hitting the 'trash' button, but the promises were so alluring. Divorced and so lonely, Cassie signs up for the on-line dating service. What she doesn't know is the cost of the ticket for her ride on the romantic roller coaster from hell.  There have been others who have lost everything because of him. 

You aren't the first woman he's lied to.

When Cassie's siblings present her with evidence, insisting this proves her new beau is a con-man, her world is shattered. Her happiness wanes.

How can she possibly believe that this wonderful man who gave up a thriving business in Texas and moved to California to be with her isn't all he professes to be?

Greg Allison lands a job on the young widow's salvage ship to conceal his search of  stolen plans for a prototype of a new stealth aircraft. What better place for concealment than an old, worthless shipwreck?

He is a willing deckhand; the boss' big violet gaze has him seeing stars. But the Widow Bronson is not the meek woman he was led to expect when he was handed the assignment.

Authors Who Dare Says Goodbye



Due to time constraints and family health issues, we have decided to close down the Authors Who Dare website. However, you can still hop over to Infinite Possibilities to visit the Phoenix Rising Authors. Myself, Jamie Hill, Michelle Houston, Derek Musgrave, Ann Cory, and Jude Mason would like to thank you for supporting AWD. If you don't recognize the names mentioned, and you are a fan of erotic fiction or erotic romance and its cross genres, please take a moment to plug these monikers into Google and check out some talented folks.

 I'm not big on exclamation points, but today's post deserves one, maybe two. I am so incredibly proud of our LBF Books author, Tracy Goodwin. Dance With Deception, the first book I did a content edit for when I was hired by Lachesis / LBF, just received a 4 star review from Romantic Times! Here is an excerpt of the review.

"A bit dark at times, Goodwin's Regency is filled with emotions,
affairs of the heart and a flesh-and-blood hero who isn't perfect but deserves points for vowing to make the lady of his heart his wife. The heroine also is worthy of kudos."

Romantic Times Magazine

Congratulations, Tracy! We are so very proud of you!

Our Joel Sutherland also has a treat for readers, some new fiction. From Joel, comes the following.

My story, "Timberbeasts," is an alternative history piece set during Canada's timber boom of the 1880s. Murderous plots, half-man half-pig monstrosities, and big hairy dudes swinging axes -- what more could you ask for?

Well, maybe a hilarious time travelling western piece by Gary K Wolf, author of Who Censored Roger Rabbit? If so, you're in luck: the magazine opens with just such a story! (What are the chances?)

If interested, single issue orders (or subscriptions) can be placed here:

So, things look promising for my acceptance to be a guest panelist at VCon 33. Mom-in-law is going to fly with me, as we are going to arrange a four day layover in Castlegar BC, on our return trip to NB. She has a friend who is very ill back in Salmo she would like to visit, and this means I will get to go see my mom and family. Have to admit, I am quite excited all around. Mom-in-law will phone her daughter tomorrow to see about us staying.

I told my mom on Sunday night about the invite to be a guest panelist and the layover. She is, of course, ecstatic, as it means we get a visit for the first time in over two years. I miss her terribly, and I am not too brave or grown up to admit that. I cherish my mother.

I e-mailed Barbara Scutt, the assistant programmer, and she will have a list of panels sent over by the end of May. I told her I am working on travel arrangements and budgeting, and I'll have a definite answer for them by June 5th.

"Rise and Falling Out" is an excellent read, and one of my EiC top picks. If you like witty, sharp-edged Vonnegut style satire, this is a book you'll enjoy.
