Thanks for the birthday wishes!  ;D  I'm still trying to figure out how it is I'm having a birthday again; seems I just had one a coupla weeks ago.

The missus and I are going to Charleston, SC, to stay at a bed & breakfast with some old friends of ours from Chicago. Gonna play some golf, eat some seafood, and hopefully stir up a coupla ghosts. Or ghouls, if no ghosts are to be found.

My best birthday present to myself was finishing Blue Devil Island, which has been three years in the works (off and on). And I just got a contributor copy of the anthology Dead But Dreaming, which features my story "Epiphany: A Flying Tiger's Story." It's a beautiful book from DarkTales Publications that just came out this past week. The editors were gracious enough to have mine as the lead story.

Thanky all....

I realize I'm a little late, but allow me to say that I hope your birthday was delightful and turning another year older didn't bother you in the least.

Congrats on your latest writing successes!  One of these days, I hope I, too, will make a living as a writer, but until then, I guess I'll just have to continue being a slave to the US Postal Service and risk anthrax.  

Love, Robin  ;D

We all think we know who the real Mark Rainey is? Don't be so sure. A recent unauthorized search of a warehouse owned the person claiming to be "Stephen Mark Rainey" uncovered a particularly gruesome discovery. Check it out  here (http://www.ultranet.com/~mfmiozza/SMR1785.jpg) -- if you dare...

Thanks to all for the nice wishes! Just got back from Charleston, after a really great weekend. Spent the day on the U.S.S. Yorktown today, which was sorta the highlight for me. ;)

>>Note to self: Pick yerself off the damn floor after having great big laughing fit from Mike Miozza's painting.

>>Note to self 2: Include Mike as doomed character in upcoming short story or novel. Make sure demise is the most gruesome yet conceived.<<
