Some hours later, at the deepness of the night, the other human stirred and groaned.

“Hello,” said Imhalla.

After a brief pause, the other man asked, “Who are you?”

His Imhallan was thick with a Bathatt accent and with the effect of spider-anesthetic.

“I’m…well… I’m Imhalla.” Why hide the fact? He was dead anyway.

I said I would periodically review books of note within the speculative fiction category, so here's the latest: my Goodreads review on Writers of the Future, Volume 29. Since it's an anthology, I did mini-reviews on each of the following stories:

If you've followed me for a while, you know that I post Mondays and Thursdays. However, after much thought, I have decided to post only once a week, on Fridays. I plan to call them Fiction Fridays, since they will be devoted entirely to stories from my Five-Minute Fiction series or episodes from my longer works. Sounds fun, right? It should be!

Although I plan to post regularly on Fridays, I expect that, sometimes, I may post additionally throughout the week. If I post a book review to GoodReads; if I find a great new resource for free, discounted, or just plain good quality fiction; or if I just have to share some interesting thoughts relating to fiction or to my writing journey, I'll share about it in a Bonus Post. 

If you're on my e-mail list, you'll get notification of all new posts, delivered straight to your inbox. If you're not on the list, consider joining. It's free, I won't spam you or ask you for money, you'll never miss a post, and you can opt out at any time. You can also keep up with what's going on by following me on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest, and Goodreads.

I'm very excited about connecting with you through the fascinating world of fiction! I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoy writing and sharing them. As always, I welcome your input, questions, and thoughts!
