Earlier this year, my writing pal, James Chambers, notified me that publisher, Vincent Sneed, was putting together an anthology based on the theme of beautiful women versus monsters. James thought I might have a decent pulp yarn to fit that kind of book and he could not have been more correct.
Excited by the theme, I whipped up a story entitled FURY IN VERMONT. It is the debut of a new character named Kate Fury. She is an adventurer traveling the globe circa the 1930s with a very unique assembly of aids. One of these, a former Candadian Mounted Policeman named Donat Cartier, figures prominently in this first outing. Thus far several of my anthology mates who have read the tale have asked if they can expect more exploits of the lovely Ms.Fury in the future. Time will tell, amigos. For right now, I need all of you to go SHOCKLINES on the web. That’s where DARK FURIES is for sale,
a bargain at only $14.95, besides my action packed yarn, it alos features 14 other stories by some of today’s finest horror and fantasy writers. People like James Chambers, C.J.Hendreson and John French to name a few. Don’t miss this one, airmen. I’d also advise you to visit Vincent Sneed’s own site, DIE MONSTER DIE. He’s done some remarkable books in the past few years and you really should check them out.

Anyone who buys a copy of DARK FURIES and sends me an e-mail telling me, with some evidence that you have done so (such a relating
the plot of my own tale therein), I will send
them a special art treat for their efforts. My small way of saying thanks. Who says I don’t love my fans!

The news from the South and the plight of survivors of hurraciane Katrina is still very disheartening, although lots of Americans, both as organizations and individuals have stepped up to the plate and answered the call. But lots, lots more needs doing. So please, whatever you can offer, be it a cash donation, or to go and give blood..whatever. It will all add up to getting our fellow Americans back on their feet again. No gift, no effort on their behalf is too small. And please, coupled with that, continue to pray; it’s a powerful resource for
people of faith. Try it and see for yourself.

Finally, I’ve picked up another small teaching gig. In the next three weeks I will be giving an after-school enhancement program to the students of the
Barrington, NH middle-school. My topic? What
else, Comic Books! Should be a blast. Am really looking forward to it.

Take care, have a good week, and write when you get the chance. We miss yah. Ron, over and out.
