Merry meet all,
Beltaine is here. The Wheel of the Year has turned again. Daffodills and crocuses are in bloom everywhere. Spring is about fertility, warmer days and change. There is plenty of change happening for me. I have moved out of my old apartment. The building is too moldy. I now live somewhere that is much cleaner and brighter!
The Cult of the Spider People: Bone Chillers #1 is now available in audiobook format! I am so happy and the narrator Glenn Alan did a great job with his narration. Here is a link to the book on Amazon – https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0F63YM2JX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_129_o00aud_?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Wicked Shadow Press is publishing my seventh flash fiction story, Mandrake Potion. I hope to get to read my contributor copy soon and also have the chance to read the stories by the other authors. That really helps me with my own writing. The covers of the books published by Wicked Shadow Press are always so beautiful. I love their cover art. My other flash fiction story is now available in Ebook and paperback format. Here is the link to Lulu if you want to buy a copy for yourself or your friends. There were so many amazing stories they had to create two anthologies: Cosmic Hunger and Divine Wrath. The link below is for Cosmic Hunger. My story, Cat Tales, appears in Cosmic Hunger.
Here is a description of the book Cosmic Hunger:
From the dusty depths of ancient myths to the shadowy edges of modern horror, “Who Let The Gods Out?!” is a double-volume anthology that unleashes the darkest gods ever imagined. Edited by the dynamic collectors of dark fiction Parth Sarathi Chakraborty and Rasiika Sen, this collection brings together haunting tales from both veteran authors and rising stars, each story a testament to the power—and peril—of divine intervention. Step into worlds where gods are not saviours but predators, where cosmic entities toy with mortal lives and where the line between worship and damnation blurs. Witness a mage bound to an alien entity, a woman haunted by a vampire god, and a man who bargains with ancient forces for love—only to lose everything. From the blood-soaked rituals of forgotten deities to the eldritch horrors lurking in the deep, these stories will grip you, terrify you and leave you questioning the very nature of divinity. AUTHORS FEATURED IN Who Let the Gods Out?!: COSMIC HUNGER Andrew Davison, Bill Diamond, Bissme S, Bob Moore, Chad Anctil, Chris W. McGuinness, Don Money, Donovan Thiesson, Dr. Jaswinder Challi, Eric Fritz, Heddy Johannesen, Irfaan Syyed, James Dorr, Jasiah Witkofsky, John R.

Crate, Linda Sparks, Lucia Starkey, Lynne Phillips, Robb White, Samantha Esmond, Sarah Das Gupta, Sergio Palumbo AND William J. Connell Cover art: MythologyArt (Pixabay) “Who Let The Gods Out?!” is not just a collection of stories—it’s an invitation to confront the gods we fear, the gods we create, and the gods who were never meant to be awakened. Perfect for fans of Lovecraftian horror, dark fantasy, and mythological retellings, this anthology will leave you breathless, haunted, and utterly enthralled.
Who could resist that? I can’t. I have ordered a paperback copy. I look forward to reading the other authors’ stories in the book.
We need people to create and we need authors, not AI. I will never depend on AI to help me write. I got this far on my own steam. Let’s hear it for the artists!
Blessed Be, Spiderwitch
