Zombies, and white tigers, and cubicle monkeys with letter openers, oh my!

And in other news…

I just got word from Tyche Books that they’ve nailed down a cover artist for #Furr and I should have something to share with you all by this time next month!

And least, but also last,  I’m in the final death throes of finishing work on #UnoMoss – the mini-collection of #HotSinatra related tales, including a new Manlove & Kickerdick tale and a new, Christmas-in-the-seventies tale starring Moss Cole’s dear ol’ departed Pops hisself – Moe Rossi! If you want to get it early – AND FREE – go sign up for the GotHow Crew newsletter (You also get the exclusive Axel How’s HowDeeDoo mini-collection, just for signing up.)

Bacon and Rollins! new story on Wattpad

Leave a comment

I’ve just added my tiny weirdo tale “Henry Rollins and the Better Butter Bacon Burger” to Wattpad. The infamous Red Tash once dared me to write a story about bacon and Henry Rollins on a day they were both trending on the twitterz, so I damn well did it. It’s a little less than a thousand words, but the bizarro waitress character stuck in my brain-guts and found herself being a new favorite for a lot of people who read FURR this past winter. FURR, by the way, is “A modern-day (grim) fairy tale full of werewolf strippers, goth-rock wizards and a shaman named Bob Dylan.” It’s also my newest novel, due back this fall (October 2016 from Tyche Books!)

Now go check out the menu!

Awards Season! FURR! 90’s Karaoke!

2 Comments

Hey kids! Do you like Primus? Wanna see me stick Nine-Inch Nails… Wait. Nevermind. 90’s Karaoke flashback.

Where was I? News!

Award season is in full effect, and I’ve got a couple of stories in for the Derringer Awards (Short Mystery Fiction Society) and the Arthur Ellis Awards (Crime Writers of Canada). It also looks like FURR made it’s way onto the Aurora ballot! (Canadian Science-Fiction and Fantasy Association).

So cross your fingers!

Unless you’re somebody who votes in those places, then use those fingers to vote… ahem… initial here… ahem…

I am still slowly muddling through the process of finishing up the HOT SINATRA stories collection UNO MOSS  (which email subscribers to the GotHow Crew will receive for FREE)

Then I’ll be working on edits for the single-book release of FURR sometime later this year from Tyche Books!

Of course, you can still get my weirdo werewolves in Twin Peaks-y modern Gothic fantasy fable FURR in the SPELLS & SPIRITS box set for a limited time.

Spells Spirits 200x300

Right now it’s $1 on Amazon, Kobo and such! (And still #10 in Fantasy Anthologies!)I have it on authority that it may soon jump back to $2.99, so go git you some! Here’s a couple of recent comments on that bit of literary crazy-sauce:

“Man, that was one heck of a really good story. Dark, twisted, interesting.”


“Just finished FURR. Damn fine story. Now to see if there’s more…“
