Some Words From Tiny Tim!

I was not aware that Nick Bowden had died until today, the feature artist on the front page of Blood Red Tales with his masterful arwork, Somewhere Above and Beyond. To him and his family, my sincerest sympathy and heartfelt compassion. Nick's work can be viewed at Deviant Art, http://www.deviantart.com I recommend you check it out. He was an incredible artist, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen his work for my main page. God Bless You, Nick! And thanks for the great work!

Also, I wanted to thank everyone for voting for the best author website at Fiction Addiction. Seems I placed in the top ten, so thank you all for voting! The lollipops should have been doled out accordingly. If not get back with me, and I will end yours via UPS.

To all my friends, family, horror writers, fiction mags, upcoming anthologies, and to everyone I've met recently, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Just because we are mainly of the darker trade, doesn't mean we can't get in touch with this festive time of year, its childlike spirit, and embrace the resonding notes that makes Christmas what it is. I for one, have been reading the Christmas books by Dickens, have decorated the house with lights, put out the little village of lighted houses, and watched A Christmas Carol twice already, the one with Alastair Sim, and George C. Scott. This is great stuff! And, this is the stuff that gets us in touch with the lighter sides of our vision and art. Don't be afraid to embrace it!

On a slightly less macabe note, as Tiny Tim has been fond of saying:
"God bless us, Everyone!"
I leave it up to you to provide the accent!
Cheers, all!
