WHC is a week away. I can’t believe I am flying to Atlanta in six days and still have so much to do. SHIT!
So far I have limited, signed edition chapbooks set aside for the following people:
1. John Boden
2. Andrew Freudenberg
3. Stephen Williams
4. Aaron Gudmunson
5. Chris & Kim
6. Kenneth Cain
7. Michael Randolph
8. Rose Blackthorn
9. Kurt Fawver
10. Beth Murphy
11. Nelson Pyles
12. Tony Tremblay
13. Sandy Gibbons
14. John Foster
15. Ken Wood
16. Aaron Sterns
17. Morgan Griffith
18. David North-Martino
19. Adam House
20. MJ Preston
For the record, anyone who provided a blurb will not be paying for it, so don’t even try. (Aaron G...we will discuss this further!)
But I’d like to ask anyone not attending the convention in Atlanta to please allow me to send these out after I return since I’m just so pressed for time. They’re all numbered and signed and set aside for you in clear plastic slipcases, and when I get back I will also inscribe them with a personal note as a thank you for waiting.
Since these first twenty sold so fast, I uploaded and ordered a second edition that do not have the numbered signature page and with a slightly different design that I will sell if the limited edition runs out. They won’t have the special seal the limited edition chapbooks have on the slipcase or receive a personalized inscription.
Anyway, if you guys can sit tight, I’ll be in touch about sending these your way upon my return. Some are going to Australia, Canada, England, and other wild destinations, so I may need some time to hunker down at the post office. Thanks for your support!

There will also be a limited supply of bookmarks designed by Greg Chapman, who is not only an artist, but one hell of a writer. Check these out...I hope I get my hands on one.
I mentioned before that I will have an interview with Jack Ketchum for his Lifetime Achievement Award appearing in the Souvenir Book.
From HWA President Lisa Morton: “Here's a sneak peek at the gorgeous cover for our souvenir book, featuring art by Artist Guest of Honor Bob Eggleton and edited by Eric J. Guignard and Bailey Hunter. This baby is FAT, too—over 100,000 words of horrorific fiction, nonfiction, art, and more.”

The Programming for WHC must have been a herculean task, and Anya Martin and her team have done an extraordinary job at putting together a fantastic lineup of events. I'll be on some myself, but I'm really looking forward to attending several panels and readings and just can't wait for all of this to happen.
Check out the full schedule of events here.

The Library of the Dead will also be relaunched at AnthoCon in Portsmouth, New Hampshire from June 5-7, 2015.
Speaking of AnthoCon, Tim Deal of Shroud just released the Spring Issue, which features "Estuary," my poem about a death which has haunted me for almost eighteen years. You can find it on Amazon in eBook here, and Tim will later compile the work from it into a print omnibus edition.
Get a load of this cover.

Speaking of Michael Bailey, I'm going to be bringing a few copies of Inkblots and Blood Spots with me to WHC, but if you are going and want an autographed copy your best bet is to bring yours or pick one up now.
The books I will have with me in very limited quantity are below, and I'm not sure what Eagle Eye Books will have in stock. So if you want anything signed please be sure to bring it!
