I hope I'm not out of line starting this thread, but it says in the welcome that we can pimp our wares, so I figured we needed a thread to so so.
I'll start!
I have three (free) shorts out on this site (downloadable .pdf files), this being the latest (and just released today, mind you). Insurrection Snowy Mountain Style (aka don't fuck with the fat man) by GNBraunHappy Christmas in July!(Just)
When Santa's elves revolt, it's up to one person to stop it - the motherfucking fat man himself! Celebrate Christmas in July in typical LegumeMan fashion - with gratuitous blood!
GNBraun was raised in Melbourne’s gritty Western Suburbs and is a trained nurse currently studying to work in the social services. He writes fiction untied to any genre, and is the author of Boneyard Smack, Bubba wants YOU, Insurrection and Santa Akbar (Tasmaniac Publications Dec. 2010)! Longer works are forthcoming, but he can only write so fast. Visit his blog and homepage at gnbraun.blogspot.com/ for free fiction and latest updates

Congrats, G! I have to get over and read those digitals! And Christmas horror is always a blast. Great TOC on that one.

I'd be most happy for you to read them, Tom. Hope you enjoy. And yeah, that is a great TOC. I feel proud to be in the same tome as Curran, I love his stuff...and the Pic, of course...wow...

Good one Geoff!
Well, nothing to publicise yet, but I do have a novelette set for publication next year. Working title is 'Shades of Reality'. Really excited about that, but until the publisher gives permission to talk more about it, my lips are sealed.
Have not got a long publishing track record, only have 'Christmas Breakdown' previously published in volume one of the Festive Fear, last year. I am enjoying my writing...when I get the opportunity to do it.
Sadly I do not have anything currently in work, but a couple of things that need to be done when I make the time.

congrats Geoff, I've got a couple slated for the upcoming year, along with Sideshow, which seems to have made a pretty good splash lately, even tho there's not been a lot of comments on it so far, which means it sucks or is stuck in the TBRs

My novella THE FORUM (about a message board for serial killers ) was just released from Cemetery Dance Publications. Can't wait to hear what folks think about this one. I probably had more fun writing this twisted lil' novella than anything I've ever done. J.N.

Thanks Leigh. Next time I'm down (for the nightmare ball on Friday 3rd Sep. I'd say. We'll be staying for Saturday 4th to catch up with Steve and Brett and the LegumeChaps, so that could work.) we have to catch up. I'd love for you and Penny to meet Dawn, I'm sure you will love her. Plus she needs to see a *real* book collection... Well done on the novella! congrats Geoff, I've got a couple slated for the upcoming year, along with Sideshow, which seems to have made a pretty good splash lately, even tho there's not been a lot of comments on it so far, which means it sucks or is stuck in the TBRs William. Thanks for the congrats. I am into Sideshow at the moment, and rest assured I will be reviewing it here, on Amazon and Goodreads, as well as on my blog and my forum (and facebook). I've been held up writing and updating blogs/forums etc with the new release for a day or two. Very busy due to being on a roll with a new short for an anthology submission. Loved The Damned, and Sideshow is shaping up to be as good or better. Keep 'em coming, and I shall keep buying, reading and reviewing... (I went to put a link to The Damned at the Mall, but it's too confusing...there are two different listings for the limited HC, one for $45, the other for $49, but they are the same book?) James...well done. I'm yet to read anything of yours, but I have heard good things regarding The Forum, I believe.

A partial of my story, 'The Last Regiment' has been posted on Sarah Lapolla's blog. Sarah is a literary agent working at Curtis Brown. It is the lead for her blog at the moment, but will be replaced today (July 30) by another blog. Check it out. There are a couple of good comments about the story too. bigglasscases.blogspot.com/

It definitely does not suck. So far it's a fantastic ride with obvious flashbacks (for me at least) to that other classic Circus novel. Although I will say, I'm enjoying yours more.

Really excited about that, but until the publisher gives permission to talk more about it, my lips are sealed. Keep us informed, Leigh. I enjoyed your story in last year's Festive Fear and would certainly be interested in reading more from you.

You're on a roll there, Geoff. Congratulations! Thanks, Scott. You're doing alright yourself...I see your name in bold in that TOC... I wish we knew if we were illustrated or not...I think only three are... GNB

Nice work, Brett! Still have to read Family Business, but unfortunately it's in storage until our house is built.
