Things for sale and stuff I've done

In an effort to de-clutter and bring in a little cash, I've started selling PS3 games, books, and movies on half.com again. Here is the link to my store. I've got some great stuff up there in fantastic shape. Adding new stuff all the time.

In other news I narrated a short story for Wily Writers, an online fiction magazine. The story I read was "Modern Love" by M. Darusha Wehm. You can listen to the reading at this page. Scroll down and select the "Click for Audio" icon.

Another cool thing: Cemetery Dance magazine, issue 70, page 132, mentions my story in a positive review of the anthology Fresh Blood Old Bones. My name is misspelled in the review (Folly Blaine is missing an 'e') but that's because my name is misspelled in the book. And hey! If you're looking for something to read for Halloween, this ebook I'm talking about is filled with some majorly creepy short stories for only $2.99. The anthology includes stories from a mix of established and emerging writers--hence the title.

So, this whole post has been pretty much pitching stuff at you. Sorry about that.

I hope you're doing well. I hope you get to eat all of the candy you want to eat without any repercussions, and that you have at least one genuine fright, in the spirit of Halloween, of course.

Happy Wednesday.

Fall

Hi. I've been pretty quiet here because I don't have much to share. Fall is my favorite time of year--the chill in the air, the fiery leaf confetti, the pumpkin-flavored everything. I've always enjoyed Halloween, but I don't expect much this year. It's been a while since I've gotten to dress up.

I need to remember to buy candy. One year I failed to buy candy because I didn't expect any trick-or-treaters at our apartment and the only individually wrapped sweets I had on hand were Fig Newton cookies. I still feel bad about that. The looks on those poor kids' faces as I dropped the Fig Newtons in their bags...

Anyway. I hope you all are doing well. I'm still around here somewhere, chugging along.
