Two Quick Bits of Business

Stuffed though I am with Easter ham (and a happy nondenominational whatever to all of y'all, by the by), I wanted to pop in for two quick announcements.

Firstly, I've just received word from über-editor David Cranmer that my short story "The Man in the Alligator Shoes" will be appearing at Beat to a Pulp this coming June! Beat to a Pulp's one of the best fiction sites going, and I'm always delighted to grace its hallowed (web)pages.

Secondly, I've finally succumbed to the gray-matter-noshing virtual zombie plague that is Facebook. Yes, just now. Feel free to justify my existence by friending me or whatever it is the kids (and my grandmother, and everybody else on the planet who isn't me) say these days. Or you can simply join the creepy online chorus chanting "One of us... one of us..."

Looking forward to checking out that story in BTAP.

And get ready to have all your time sucked away by that stupid Facebook thing. Although you'll find out about some cool stuff too.

Chris said...

Thanks, Chris. And I'm doing my level best to not let that be so; I need to save some time for writing, after all.

Now, that's a great title for a story. Lokking forward to it.

Chris said...

Thanks, Paul!

Good lord you gave in to Facebook. I'm deeply saddened, Chris.

Chris said...

As am I, my friend. As am I...

Facebook is a time suck but if you crave gossip....

Chris said...

What I crave, if I'm being honest, is for the people I went to grade school with wondering if I've been writing about them all this time, and rushing to buy my stuff so they can find out. (Wait, am I not supposed to say that?)
