"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..."

SUMMER UPDATES
Okay...where have I been and what have I been doing? Well, I'm here, and I haven't been doing much, really. Well...not much in my writing life, but plenty in my personal life. I've been busy. My day job (yep, I work a day job) has been going well, and since that's how I put food on the table, I have been making sure that I get the most out of my paychecks as I can.
Plus, it's summer time. After nine months of cold weather here in NY, the days have been glorious. I've been spending as much time outside as I can, and have been enjoying it. And, since I'm between books, the pressure is off for now for me to make a deadline. But I do have some things to report, so here it goes:
First word from my publisher tells me the DEAD SOULS is doing well and is continuing to do well. So a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's picked up a copy. This enables me to look forward and consider how to promote my next book, FIRES RISING. I'm happy to report that it has been delivered to my publisher, and it's tentatively scheduled for a March 2008 release. This will be the shortest amount of time between books for me. 13 months. Not too bad for a part-timer.
In this time between books, I've read a bunch, worked a bit on the promotion for my first movie ANXIETY, and am working on a new short story for a new magazine to debut in January 2008. I've put together a new and quite large short story collection tentatively entitled DARK RIDE, and have some specialty presses interested in this. I'm also still working on getting SLEEPWALKER out in the mass market, but as of now there are no new developments I can discuss. DESECRATION, the novella forthcoming from BLOODLETTING PRESS should be here any day now. Any day...
I'll be taking a few more weeks off from writing, after which I'll begin work on the sequel to DEEP IN THE DARKNESS, tentatively titled RETURN TO DARKNESS.
That's about it. So, if I have not answered your e-mails of late, don't take it personally. I'm giving my mind a break from it all, and am enjoying the summer.
Stay dark,
Michael
