Just a few random thoughts
Something unusual has happened a few times to me lately. Well, not unusual so much as unusual for me. I've been invited into a few anthologies. By and large, I intend to take the invitations, because it's a good excuse to write a new short story (or in one case some poetry) and because I suck at saying no. :)

All kidding aside, it's rather a nice feeling that I've very seldom experienced.

So, Little Boy Blue was released at WHC and so far the feedback has been good. That makes me happy. It makes Larry Roberts happy as the man who footed the bill for printing it, and as the man who will foot the bill for the next Jonathan Crowley project. CHERRY HILL looks like it's going to be an October release. Alex Mcvey will be doing the interior artwork and the cover alike, which puts a smile on my face because his cover art for Little BOy Blue is still blowing me away.

For the curious among you (all three of you)CHERRY HILL takes place a bit in the past. Quite a bit, as in a few decades. It'll answer several questions about Crowley and even about Amelia Dunlow (who showed up in SERENITY FALLS) but it won't answer nearly all of them. What's the fun if I tell you everything?

CHERRY HILL, just for the record, is the name of the asylum where most of the story takes place. It's also the name of a pleasant town in New Jersey, but the Cherry Hill in the story is set in rural Pennsylvania.

That's it for now.

Keep smiling,

Jim
