With the end of the year right around the corner, it's time for another round up of activities. I've been lucky enough to have a few things come out last month. So, here's the lot all in one spot.
Starting things off, I closed October performing for Jill Howe's Story Sessions: Campfire Sessions. The theme revolved around stories that terrify. Jill gathered an assortment of fabulous performers who all shared phenomenal tales perfect for Halloween. While most went supernatural, my own went more into true crime territory, and although I was a little rusty -- it's been too long since live shows -- I think the story is still a solid tale. If nothing else, it's an intense, darkly humorous account of friendship forming while plotting a murder. You can listen by following the Soundcloud link below. The accompanying image, by the by, is by artist Jules Darling. They drew the stories as each was told, adding a touch of live art to the show. So, be sure to check out their work as well.

A while back I sold a story to Manawaker, a podcast that brings flash fiction to life. My piece "No Easy Fix" isn't my usual kind of pessimistic, surreal madness. It's s touching story about a robot repair person. I don't want to risk spoiling things, but this is some heat string tugging scifi perfect for families. The story is available on Spotify as well as the Manawaker site.

Finally, I got to do a little ghost hunting again for Horror Obsessive. Last month I spent a few nights at Chicago's most haunted hotel The Congress Plaza. To find out what ghosts have been seen as well as my own experience, follow the link below. Included are photos I took during my stay.
I will say, this is the second ghost hunter article I've done, and I'm starting to enjoy it. With any luck, I'll be able to pitch a few more. My main goal, though, is being able to explore the paranormal places on my own. Rather than simply synopsizing someone else's accounts, I like seeing the haunts myself. Whether or not anything supernatural occurs isn't really the point. It's more about genuine reporting.
