I am back...and I'm PUBLISHED!!!

Remember a few blogs ago I mentioned I had a big surprise? Well, this is the surprise. I will have my first short story published in the anthology, "The Monsters Hiding in Your Closet."

The Monsters Hiding In Your Closet

The anthology is about monsters that can be found in your closet. Well, maybe not your closet, but somebodies. There are 10 stories in total, all geared to children 9-12 years old, but I think teens and parents could enjoy them as well!

I have been waiting a few months to officially announce this and I am beyond excited to finally see the anthology come together. Right now, it is in the process of heading off to print.

The anthology drops October 1st, but you can pre-order the anthology here on Amazon.

Now that I am back after a month of near silence, I hope to bring some more comic book reviews your way. I am going to push my original timelines back a bit, focusing on a blog per month.

Why?

Because I want to bring quality content together and I feel like a full month gives me the time to actually deliver. Longer, more focused content around comics, movies, and writing. Hopefully more content you want to see. For example, do you want to learn about how to network with other writers or how I got involved in publishing a short story to an anthology? I can answer questions like that.

So, please leave a response in the comments what you would like to see more of. More comic book reviews? Writing Prompts? Challenges?

Let me know and I can start getting you the content you would like to see. You can email me, but the best ways to get in touch are through the comment section below and my Twitter: @JjLahr.

Halloween Short Story

Halloween is fast approaching and after getting some feedback on where to put the short story, I believe the best place would be on the website itself. I am going to make a separate tab and place the story there. My hope is to have it up and ready by late tonight or early morning tomorrow. The story will be on the website for a limited time, running from either today/tomorrow until November 4th. After November 4th, I will be making a free eBook for all newsletter subscribers. It may take some time, but it should take less than a month. Fingers crossed!

I hope that this plan is best for everyone to view the short story before, during, and a bit after Halloween. If anyone has any questions or critiques, please feel free to tweet at me or post in the comments.

Until next week, keep writing everyone! - J.J.
