Left: The cover artwork for my alternate history-thriller, Rebel Nation. Now available from www.zumayapublications.com . It's received solid reviews so far.

Received word from Jason Sizemore, publisher and editor of Apex Science Fiction and Horror, that the contributor copies of Issue Three have been mailed. My short story, "Human Resources," is included and I'm thrilled to be part of this new zine.

Other than that, not much happening. I keep mulling over ideas for my next venture. Life (and work) keep interrupting. Oh, well, that's just the way it is. However, Mark and I were spitballing and one idea definitely has legs. We'll see if it goes any further.
