Just got word that my short story "God Like Me" from the anthology Raw Meat is up for Best Horror Short Story of 2007. If you would like to cast your vote, here is a link to the main voting hub: www.critters.org/predpoll/You can also cast your votes for best author, artist, etc. If you don't see the name you want, you can write it in. [glow=red,2,300]IMPORTANT NOTE: [/glow] I love the fact that readers enjoy my work and are passionate about these stories, but PLEASE, only one vote per email address. Last year, my story "Jiki" was in the Top 10 when voting closed, but after they ran their anti-ballot-stuffing software, it fell to number 12. I would like to avoid a similar let-down this year. Thanks to everyone for their continued support! ;D

Thanks darkness! And thanks to everyone who voted. ;D Per the site, voting ended yesterday. As of right now, "God Like me" ended up at #7. It's good to be in the Top 10 Horror Short Stories of the Year, but the results are not final yet. We'll see what happens.

Well now it's official! ;D "God Like Me" was named one of the 10 Best Horror Stories of 2007 in the P&E Readers Poll. This was one of the first stories I ever wrote, and my very first sale...it just took several years for the anthology, Raw Meat, to actually get released. If you haven't had the chance to read the tale, there are copies still available. Click on the link below: www.sideshowpresspublications.com/Books.htmlThanks to everyone who voted! 2008 is going to be a very good year indeed.
