I’m shocked with an excited sense of disbelief to learn that FIVE (yes, five) of my poems and a short story made Ellen Datlow’s long list for recommendations for Best Horror # 14.

Two poems from ‘Oblivion in Flux’ and three poems from Spectral Realms! I was also excited to see my short story ‘The Fisherman’s Last Call’ which appeared in Tales from OmniPark anthology.

I have so much respect for Ellen and her work in the horror community, this means a great deal to me, words cannot do justice to how I am feeling right now.
