I just received probably one of coolest books I have ever been in and that's Midnight Under the Big Top: Madness, Murder, and Magic by Cemetery Dance Publications. Unfortunately, this edition is already sold out but I heard there will be another print run of this anthology at some point. Cemetery Dance was a household name for me growing up as my dad had purchased the lifetime magazine subscription when it first came out. He died a month before I could tell him I was invited to write for them in this anthology. I wish I could show it to him. It features my poem, Beneath the Fullest Moon. I actually submitted a second poem that was accepted but for some reason, does not appear in it. I have no idea why. Check out this killer line-up!
