"It'd creeped over the far edge of the rock, just a hand at first, long fork-like fingers gripping the dead animal like a doll. Then I saw the head, and it grinned at me, bright golden eyes cutting the darkness like two beacons. It was as though it knew I was there and had waited for the most opportune time to make its grand entrance and scare the piss out of me, which it did, but I hadn't noticed that until later.

"When I finally made it past the dreadful glow of its eyes, the rest of the thing's face came into focus..."

NEW WEBSITE







Well, as you can see, I have a new website. I really do hope you like the look. Kinda familiar, eh? Those golden eyes keep popping up everywhere! Mike Oliveri is the creator (www.mikeoliveri.com).

Well, with the addition of this blog, you will find more recent updates, sometimes on a daily basis. I'll pretty much discuss whatever's on my mind, whether it be writing related or not.

That said, I must say that this first entry will be on the short side. I'm still thinking back to the Stokers, where I didn't sleep much--what else is new? Yes, I attended the Bram Stoker Awards Ceremony. Lots of my friends walked away with the awards, like Brian Keene, Jack Ketchum, Gary A. Braunbeck, and Mike Arnzen. Peter Straub was also on hand to accept his award for Superior Achievement in a Horror Novel with Lost Boy, Lost Girl. Don D'Auria, my editor at Leisure, gave a perfect speech in his role of Toastmaster.

The parties afterwards were great. Hung out with everyone! Made new friends, and had a fantastic time!

Anyway....that's all I have energy for right now. Soon I'll be updating the progress of my latest project, THE DEMONOLOGIST.

Thanks! And please do let me know what you think of the new website!

Michael
