Pagan Children's Book (mostly done)
Flower Fairies (Julnowrimo)
A new Etarin story (Julnowrimo)
Long Term--hardcore BDSM
Man-hunt--a prison escapee in the 30s finds shelter on a lonely farm
Casting Couch Blues--Jaded Hollywood casting director enjoys himself (deadline Oct 15)
Nick and Corban
The next Lord Withycombe novel (provided this one sells at all)--big game hunting, I think

I learned that this:

is called an interrobang.

I need to write an anthology proposal for Kerlak on the bright future anthology. I have no idea how to do this.

***

I should see what Naomi and I have that might make a good short story collection. or what I have alone. I'd like to get my werewolves into print.

***

Is Hell-billy Highway: Terror on the road and off the beaten path a really crappy name for an anthology? Does the idea of on-road and back-road horror appeal to anyone? See point about bright future anth. I have no idea how to write this proposal.

Of the following, what squicks you most:
1) felching
2) cannibalism
3) self-mutilation under stress
4) near-instantaeous eradication of about 30,000 people, where the killer has to walk among the corpses after they've ripened a few days
5) necrophilia, mentioned in passing
6) pseudo-necrophilia (killer in 4 gets turned on, tries seducing mentor, comes home and has sex with wife)
(almost all of these occur in Nick & Corban)

Cannibalism. Felching and necrophilia are pretty icky, but reading about/watching a film about cannibalism makes me desperately need a very hot shower.

So the "Things went pretty smoothly after I raped killed and ate the mayor's wife...not necessarily in that order," is going to be lost on you?

I don't think we have any on-screen, but my protagonist picked up a bad habit in the last book, and he does mention it in passing.
