Tell me a story

I (Mike) have been working on my next anthology, "Something Different," featuring non-horror stories except for one and it's a killer. A successful writer is visited by Death in human form and a bargain is struck: Death will leave and not return for six months if the writer can tell him a story about himself that would intrigue him. Since the man is a writer, what could go wrong? Plenty. "Tell Me A Story," is short but hair-raising.

​So I (Roberta) wrote this short story inspired by a trip to Leadville, Colorado I took with my sister’s family eleven years ago. My niece was 15 at the time and she really was the fifteen-year-old from hell. She is the narrator of the story and I portrayed her as she was on that trip. I submitted the story to a speculative fiction podcast that specializes in everything from hard science fiction, to urban fantasy, horror, steampunk, superheroes and more. My story was rejected. They found my narrator off-putting and suggested I tone her down.  Well, I found her off-putting in real life, so why didn’t I tone her down when I wrote the story in the first place? I’ve done a rewrite per the editor’s suggestion, but I am dragging my feet about submitting the story elsewhere. I could just include it in my next collection of short stories titled Distorted 2.  Oh, btw, my niece is a sweetie now. Headstrong, yes, because she’s turned out to be a bit of a perfectionist. She is also intelligent, beautiful, and kind. The fifteen-year-old terror was a phase.

Dinner and a Movie

Last night Mike and his wife and my husband and I went to a friends' house for hamburgers off the grill and a movie in their movie room.  We decided to watch the 1979 movie, The Changeling, staring George C. Scott.  I actually saw it at the show way back when, but the only part I remembered was this old-time wheelchair coming down the stairs on its own. It had a great story and, of course, George C. Scott is a great actor. So I got to watch a movie with a ghost. Next time Mike gets to pick and he likes Zombies.

Had a blast at Seasons Screamings the week before Christmas 2021 at the Pasadena Convention Center. Sold lots of books and met tons of people enjoying the horror event, most in entertaining costumes.
