The Audient Void: A Journal of Weird Fiction and Dark Fantasy Issue Seven

I have finally received my contributor copy of The Audient Void: A Journal of Weird Fiction and Dark Fantasy Issue Seven.  It contains the next two sonnets, Famine and Death, from my Seven Seals sonnet cycle.  Each sonnet discusses each seal.  3 sonnets remain.  The sonnet cycle will appear in Diary of a Vampyress.

(Amazing art by the incredible Dan Sauer.)

Clark Ashton Smith Documentary at the Auburn State Theater

Kyle and I had a blast in Auburn for the CAS documentary showing in Auburn last month.  We stayed at the haunted Historic Cary House Hotel in Placerville while there for the weekend.

After we checked in,  we headed to Auburn for a little get together before the showing.

We then headed to Cody Goodfellow's reading at the nearby art gallery. 

We left Sunday morning and headed back home with various treasures and memories.
