Scrap Happy's "The Harvesting" Chair for Auction

If you are looking for a great fundraiser, the Clarion Library in Clarion, Pennsylvania is auctioning off book-inspired chairs.  Jennifer Woolam, owner of the best little scrap house in all of PA, Scrap Happy, has designed a super-cool "The Harvesting" inspired chair.  If I am correct, the winner gets the chair, an autographed novel, and a promotional t-shirt.  And your money benefits a library.  What could be better? 

As well, if you live in the Clarion area and are looking for a great weekend retreat for you and the girls, a spot for a unique bridal or baby shower, or you just want some quiet time, check out Scrap Happy House.

Some readers are anxious to know when to except Book 2 of "The Harvesting" series.  The second novel, "The Shadow Aspect," is well under-way.  Michael Hall, the artist who does the covers for the series, has already created some concept art for the cover.  I thought you might enjoy seeing the concept.  We plan to make some changes, but it might give you a feel for the second novel.

I am hard at work on book 2.  I just completed a really fun chapter today.  I anticipate the book will release late spring, but if I can find a minute extra to devote to writing, I would love to release it earlier.  Stay tuned!

"Hell in a Hand-Basket" Winner!

 

Congratulations to Paula P.

A great story to share from Paula.  I don't think she will mind.  Paula attended Friday Fest where she took a guess for my prize in the company of an elderly gentleman with Alzheimer's.  The gentleman with her guessed the number of gumballs in the jar.  He was only off by two!  This man was quite the inventor in his early years.  He invented a mechanical devise all of use on a weekly basis.  Paula mentioned he was delighted to learn he'd guessed the jar correctly.  I love it when good things happen for good people.  Congratulations, Paula.

Charles Beaumont
Back when smoking was cool . . .

I recently, and quite on accident, discovered a really great speculative short story I think people will enjoy.  I don't want to give too many spoilers, but in the short story you will find yourself transported to dystopian world where a few survivors are planning what to do next.  Sound like a familiar theme?  The writer, Charles Beaumont (how I love my Beaumont's--see Francis Beaumont, dramatist) is a well-known 50's and 60's writer of speculative (read scifi, fantasy, horror, etc.) writing.  Many of his works appeared as "Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcok Presents" episodes.  Here is a link to "Place of Meeting" by Beaumont (a pdf scan).  I'd love to hear when you "figured out" the mystery.
