I’m pleased as a vampire in a blood bank to announce I have a short story coming out in the new Books of Horror Anthology. It’s available for pre-order now and arrives shortly.

There are lots of great talents here, some whom I’ve read, others whom I look forward to reading.

In my tale, “The Bayou Queen,” a woman living on the edge of a swamp is forced at gunpoint to help a renegade drug runner evade his former comrades. But who, or what, holds the upper hand turns out to be an open question.

I had a lot of fun researching swamp vegetation while writing it.
