I read it in one sitting! Creepy, evocative, surprisingly emotional (that ending). I really enjoyed it!

Hi. Got a copy of @mjaneworma.bsky.social’s Of Beasts and looking forward to it. Read @michaelcisco.bsky.social’s Black Brane and loved it. First draft edits for my @clashbooks.bsky.social debut are in hand. Also got the greenlight (β€œit’s brilliant”) for another project.

Hope y’all are doing well.

Oh this is awesome! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to read it!

My question also!

I feel like it’s in the process of being resolved for me, but I also want to know why it happened (though I have some ideas) and who is responsible (I also know who this is too). I also want assurance that it won’t happen to me or anyone else again.

The SK blurb is from the first Book of Blood (I think?) but I don’t know anything about the cover art or cover artist.

Yep, it is absolutely a pattern of behavior. He and I were really good friends for a long time and he (was) a good editor back in the day. He was one of the first people to publish my work. I don’t know what’s going on with him now (well for the last 5+ years) but it seems to be getting worse.

Gonna wager a guess and say we’re all about to find out πŸ˜’

What really pisses me off is that the only reason I learned about it is a friend sent it to me encouraging me to submit something and then noticed my name on the cover. Had that not happened, I’d be none the wiser.

I just…I’m…rather befuddled, honestly.

I don’t even know why anyone would do this.

It is, hopefully it will be corrected soon and all the names who appear will be validated.

I’m very curious about that as well.

Update: Michael H. Hanson just messaged me and apologized and said he will contact me once the issue has been corrected. I’ll keep you all posted.

Heads up: I never gave Nocturnicorn Books permission to include my name on any promotional materials for this anthology. I never submitted to it or gave them permission to publish any reprints. I don’t know when/if this anthology will be released, but they are advertising for subs. (Don’t submit.)
