This collection is classic horror all the way down—visceral, heartbreaking, unsettling, and intense. But not entirely without hope. There is something for everyone in here."—

Of the six editors/beta readers I have gotten to try to help me with the MS(not counting my publisher) I am try to polish up to go out for submission, since September exactly ZERO of them have done anything.
I did trade with four of them, all four dipped after I helped them.

Ok so I need to find a Dev editor who can or is willing to work on the cheap...and by cheap I mean free, possibly some pro bono.

Yes I know editors are worth their weight in gold but I don't have the funds at the moment.

So I finally finished the rough draft of In The Mouth of Dagon, its 136621 words.

It took me about a month and two weeks. This is the third and biggest full sized novel that I have written this far.

Ever been so tired that you try to call your coke dealer, only for your GF to remind you that you don't have a coke dealer?

No wonder he didn't pickup...I hope he is ok.
