Contests and Thank Yous and Book Endings...Oh MY!

July Updates and News!

July 26th, 2011

A special thank you to Scott Sigler (www.scottsigler.com) for playing my promo for my new shorts series “Grimmer than Grimm”. The first in the series, “Handsome and REgrettal” are available here in the Something Wicked Strums RSS feed. The next story will be here in a couple of weeks.
Conservatory Fans will be happy to know that I have finished writing the book. The second to last chapter has been sent to the sound editor and should arrive within the week. The final chapter should be here in just a couple of weeks. If you would like to read my farewell blog to Mel and Dr. Lewis and the rest of the gang, please go to http://stevelockley.blogspot.com
Finally, don’t forget to go to www.horroraddicts.net and vote for my story, “The Root of All Evil” in the Wicked Women Writers Contest.

Vote For Me!...in the Wicked Women's Writing Contest 2011

The folks over at HorrorAddicts.net are at it again. As with the past two summers, they have sponsored a horror writing contest just to showcase new and upcoming women in the genre. This year, each contestant was assigned a poison, an object and a place with one month to write a story and podcast it.

This year, my story is called, “The Root of All Evil”. While travelling out of the country this past spring, I got to thinking about national security, money and civil liberties. I found that when the possible and plausible are left to the imagination, reality (and those possibilities) are far more frightening than any monsters I’ve conjured in my previous stories. And so, without hesitation, please go over and take a listen to “The Root of All Evil” at http://wwww.wickedwomenwriters.wordpress.com

Deadline to vote is Aug 1, 2011. One voter will be selected at random to win prizes from all of the contributing authors.
