I have a new freebie up on codexed and a new network open on mixxt.com.  I am trying to do this place in a vein that I used to do with the Goth community before I was thrown off LiveJournal.com.  I am editing my second nonfiction book and parts of the book will be similar to Dirty Pool in parts. I am trying to edit the nonfiction collection for Creatspace.com but trying to find someone who'd design the cover for createspace.com for me because I need it as a pdf file there.  The cover for the nonfiction full length is done and I am doing some formatting to the book too.
     The new free read is titled Revelations Obscured.  Those who are looking to do some holiday shopping this year can go to me storefront  My network has the guidelines for the magazine and been busy working on the next anthology.  There are two artists looking to work on the thing too so it will have a cool thing going for it -- the artists in mind are going to do something like a more contemporary take on Joseph Vargo's artwork.   I would love to have Vargo illustrrate the book but I am not sure if he would do something like that though.   The hard part is trying to visualize the Library Of Bones.
     The book though -- the nonfiction book is about 170 pages.  I have the cover art done and waiting for the introduction for this book, and one thing is this -- I will inspire some horror writers with this book and the thing that will bug me a bit is how someone who got me pulled from being an admin somewhere manipulated their way into being an admin in my place. It's almost if the ones from Daraverna Enterprises want me to be gone from the business as being a publisher. They're that corrupt and this book is going to expose the whole thing.
     The should have never been a publishing company and flashing dicks magazine is a coup for them.  It must really bother them how I got the 255 page mark this quickly with the anthology but it's going to fill to where I wanted it before I know it.  The ISBN for the anthology is in place,  just need to get to the library and have everything uploaded.   AOL doesn't agree with some things and can't exactly get logged in AT&T with this computer -- don't know why but I can get into the e-mail no problem though.  I would need to find a day to go to the Library for a few hours to get everything uploaded.  I am looking to get some of the thing.  
     I would need to have to arrange for a friend to take me to the library to work on the book and the anthology.  I want to have them both done and upload them at the same time.  I think I can get both done before going to Richmond, Virginia, though the cocksucker known as Brian Keene is trying to say the book is not at the museum -- well it is, it's my cover and the contents of the book is the anthology.  I should know -- I edited the book.  I also got the cover art back for GAME OVER -- it will be published with PublishAmerica so that means whoever is altering the novel with the endings or trying to change everything around, I got lawyers who can go after them now for the book.   The novel has the proofs but trying to get the fonts changed for it to be more suitable for a Gothic Horror novel based off a rivalry that exists between The Ethereal Gazette and Kilter.
     The novel takes the rivalry between the two magazines to an extreme, and it takes the horror to the extreme as something rather shocking.   I am proud of that book and waiting for the copy to come in for me to see the print versions.  There are going to be a few really pissed this novel is getting out there or want my blood that I wrote such a novel.  Well it's the kind of thing that happened when I wrote The Fandom Writer for the first time -- and when they see the rewritten version of The Fandom Writer they'd be pissed off because I do use the words "flaming faggot" in the story.   I am really un-pc and there are people who might not let that fly. Game Over is written in that same spirit, and the second Fandom Writer is going to be written that way too.
     GAME OVER is the novel that will challenge The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde -- I am not influenced by Wilde.  I was editing the book as practice and was repulsed by the ending.  So I thought - has this book ever been challenged by another horror book.   The novel has a wide range of a settings within the region of North Eastern Illinois.  From Chicago to the Southlands are going to be immortalized within the pages of this book.  Some people might call me a bigot or an asshole for challenging that project, but it's well worth challenging that book because it went unchallenged for 100 years.

Been a writer for 20 years in October, but been an illustrator since the late 1980s and a photographer since 1993. I often use my photography for the covers of the books and the magazine published on Lake Fossil Press which I am the sole owner and operator of the company.
      Been publishing as Lake Fossil Press for six years and I am not going to stop anytime soon -- I plan to run it for another 20. There is no two staff members with the imprint, and I have the final say of what gets published and what doesn't.
     I will work with models every now and then but I don't see myself as a model, never did. Just a photographer who does their own author photos. I run Lake Fossil Press via my printing partner, Lulu.com and soon to have a second printing partner in CreateSpace.com for other titles. I do trade paperback sized anthologies and the magazine. Pay no mind to the liars who are calling themselves the "proofer" and "editor-in-chief" since he likes to carry on with the facade.
     I employ message boards and social networking websites to get the submission guidelines out there, used to have the support of Ralan but someone decided that they were going to try to pull the plug on Lake Fossil Press as a contender. I've always been a fighter so when I see someone trying to say that "I am Not the owner." Tell me that in person and I will say different.
     My imprint is well known locally and internationally now because I published the British Fantasy Award winner Paul W. Finch in the second Tabloid Purposes along with the last stories written by Barbara Malenky (when she passed away, so did my chances at stealing a Bram Stoker Award for longer story and anthology catagories. One of my anthologies was recommended for the Bram Stoker Award and I got a Years Best Fantasy And Horror canidate and he was on an anthology with some of the allumni and they know who they are.
     Some of the roster got wider acclaim after being in a publication with Lake Fossil Press, and the thing about the writers who stay with the publications over the years -- they're loyal. I took on one co-editor for a project but I am a solo editor, and once in a while I co-write with other authors but I pick my collabors carefully.

Heeey, love that picture with the red bricks. Though the stance does rather make it appear as though you're having a piss.

Nick, since you haven't responded to my youtube comment...

How am I a bully and when, exactly, did I break your copyright and plagiarize you? Because that's what you've accused me of doing, so really, I'd love to know so I can be prepared for your, like, e-lawyers and stuff.

BTW, for someone who hates "Teh Gayness!" you sure are helpful in making suggestions for gay activities. "Go munch a rug" you told me; being female would that not, then, mean I have to be doing a gay act? :D
