Last year, Tommy Handcock with Pro Se Press invited me to submit a story for an upcoming anthology. But… there was one catch. The anthology was to be called “Black Pulp” and all the heroes would be black.
Sounded like a good idea since few pulp characters are black and a project of this kind could reach out and bring in new readers. My problem? … I’m the whitest man on Earth. Of course, jumped at the chance and had to draw on my inner-black man in order to get into the right mindset.
Now, I’ve been asked by Tommy to submit a story for a new pulp anthology. It’s all about…. chickens. Oh cluck….
I have to admit that blogging isn’t my favorite thing to do. Not that I don’t have much to say, just ask my kids. They’d complain that I never stop chatting. The problem with blogging isn’t what to say… it’s that I’d rather spend my writing time actually writing.
Still… I need to make an effort here. So, I’m planning on something weekly. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pull that off. 🙂

Two days in to the Killer Nashville convention and all is well. This convention has been a different for so many reasons compared to last year. I’m talking on panels … and anyone who knows me knows that public speaking isn’t my strong point. In addition, I was interviewed by the Library Police for an upcoming two part podcast about Killer Nashville. Plus they want me to come back for a full interview closer to the release of ‘Snowflake Garden’.Â
I guess the idea of actually being published is starting to sink in finally. The sad thing is that I’ve been so focused on writing the next book that I keep forgetting that I need to work on promoting the first. Must learn better multi-tasking methods. 🙂
Killer Nashville, the mystery writers convention here in Nashvegas is only a couple of days away. Luckily, I’ve been asked to speak on a few of the panels… my first experience speaking on writing panels. Now, if I can just keep from putting my foot in my mouth, I should be ok. 😉
