I've personally had the opportunity to read some of these fine people's work either at Shock Totem or elsewhere. Each and every author brings a unique style and creative prowess with the stories I've read. I assure you that there will be plenty of macabre and horror to go around.
If my feeble attempt to sway you with words hasn't helped, pop over to the Shock Totem Shop and pick up the first issue, wet your taste buds, and get ready for #2! The front cover is just as gorgeous as this one, but you're going to have to take a look see yourself to see if I'm telling the truth or not. (You can also find these lovely magazines at Barnes'n Noble or Amazon)
Along with the issue Shock Totem is a great place to hang. People are friendly with a dry, dark wit I adore. The mag has gotten great reviews from lots of different peeps, and I am super glad I found it to help hone my writing skills. Stop by and stay for a bite. (Don't worry, we'll only take your arm or a finger).
As for my goals. just wanted to say that yes, I met them and I'm going to throw up the # 8000k once again. The WorkLoad will be in a couple of days. Just enjoy this post until then! Thanks folks!!
Happy Reading! Go buy your copy of issue #1 today!!

Ah, Shock Totem. One day I will woo you. In the meantime, kick-ass cover!
I hope it's as great and diversified as the first issue was! The pressure is on!
Congrats to Cate and Kurt!
Like Nat, one day, I will woo. Wee. Something.

Natalie, *cracks fortune cookie* read "Your goal may be closer the harder you woo...bribes are good as well"
hmm... that's weird. :D
Lee, thanks. I'm pretty excited about my goals too.
Aaron, I think they placed the eye behind your back to spy on you.
Paula! {{Hugs}} I'm just trying to give back what the site has given to me.
This cover is awesome!
And now as you saw, I joined the forum this morning. Hopefully you guys can help me get published...
Looks good. I saw this on Cate's blog as well; it should be a great issue!
