Okay, so this piece has nothing to do with the song (if you know the song, ten points to you). But there are a lot of new and exciting things happening.
First of all, I found out last night that a short story I wrote has been selected for publication in a new Anthology coming out in May! The Anthology is called Lurking in the Deep and it features a collection of stories centered around water-based fears, i.e. sea monsters, mermaids, ghosts of those lost at sea, etc… As soon as I found out about it, I knew I had to submit something. I love the ocean, as you all know, and I love scary stories, again, which you all know.
Just for the record, the ocean in my story is a lot more sinister than Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Another bit of exciting news that I’d like to share is that my dear friend Paula has just published her first children’s book! It’s called Jack Learns to Grill and it is so, so, so cute. It’s the first in a series about her dingo, Jack, in which he learns new skills and lessons about life. It is beautifully illustrated by Tana Jacks. If you have children in your life or if you’re an animal lover, I hope you check it out! It’s a darling book!

Finally, I think I’ve come up with a new idea for a few blog posts, but I’m going to have to work on them a little bit to see if it’s actually going to be something worth pursuing. I’ll let you know!
Also, thank you to all who’ve sent me pictures of Cemetery Tours! Keep ’em coming!
Have a great weekend, y’all!
