Paul Pence, the editor of www.RIRoads.com an ezine about Rhode Island let me know that both an article and a short story of mine will be featured in the October issue.
The article "Rhode Island History -- Inspiration for Horror!" is about vampires in Rhode Island -- real vampires that is.
The short story "The Papyrus of Queen Nitocris" is derived from a paragraph in H.P. Lovecraft's "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs" which was first published May 1924 in Weird Tales
Rhode Island Roads Magazine features articles about travel, life, dining, and entertainment for people who love Rhode Island


And finally I'll be featured on the Internet Radio show The Dragon Page with hosts Sci-fi/Fantasy Author Michael R. Mennenga and Herbalist/Musician Evo Terra. Topics include how Ms. Hundertmark incorporates the Dragon Ieldo in her two books The Dragon and The Rose Parts 1 & 2. The program will air at www.dragonpage.com on Thursday, October 17th.

Showcase of Young Writers -

I have a number of young and very talented friends who have sent me some of their work to review. They are quite talented. I have decided showcase their work here in my Newsletters. Your reviews and comments are welcome. I will forward them on to the authors.
email me at dragonrose1@lycos.com

These two are written by a young writer friend of mine. He would appreciate opinions and critiques (other than mine that is). Any and all comments welcome.

Have you made a devil cry,
Shameful of its deeds?
Kneeling amidst your purity,
A wickedness on its knees.

Surrounded in your righteous light,
This devil's darkness wavers.
Now the tainted shroud dispersed,
This devil's plight revealed.

A beauty that has fallen from grace
Now forever scorned.

Have you seen The Manakin,
The boy of sanded pine?
Invigorated by creativeness,
Given purpose by the needs of thine?

He seems to be alone on stage
But I know thats not true.
Can't you see the strings on him?
The strings that make him move.

My eyes do see the strings on him,
The bonds that set him free.
The manacles of candidness,
Forcing him to be.
