EEK OF THE WEEK

The eek this time is on me. I had two errors in last time’s newsletter. A big thank you goes out to Cathy Buburuz who pointed out to me that the link to Sinister Tales was wrong. The correct link is http://www.darknessproductions.com. Cathy is the editor extraordinaire of Champagne Shivers, a great horror magazine. It even has puzzles and games inside. Please visit Cathy online at http://www.catherine_buburuz.tripod.com

The other error wasn’t really my fault, although I should have checked on it sooner. The poem “The Sum of Me” didn’t appear in Kentucky Monthly. The editor had misplaced it. He has told me he’ll try to get it in the February 2007 issue.
