The Christmas Spiders is a loose adaptation of the original Ukrainian and German folktale that attributes much of the sparkle of traditional Christmas trees to some kind spiders. In this version, the archetypal old woman is a writer who spends a year of solitude to create a book and get in touch with nature. As the year comes to a close, along with her writing, she realizes that she is torn between her old life and the new life she has discovered. It's the gift of the spiders that helps her resolve her duality. The Christmas Spiders is a meaningful approach to the holiday season that explores love, joy and kindness as the reasons for the season with the decorations and magic presented as the symptoms of caring rather than proof of it. A tale that will be enjoyed by any age with rich illustrations that perfectly capture the introspective mood of the tale. A new holiday tradition that will bring to mind that love and kindness is at the root of the holiday and we are all capable of great gifts regardless of our size and abilities.

May 2011 saw the entry of another paranormal fiction novella entitled End of Mae. The only thing different about it was that this book was a test subject for some marketing experiments. The author thought that if her techniques could work on this book, they would be successful tactics for promoting anything. The criteria for her marketing ideas were that they were practical and cost little to no money to use. The results were staggering. Nearly 500 bloggers, magazine editors and other media specialists were contacted virtually for under $1. As a direct result of this and similar actions, End of Mae jumped 312,010 Amazon sales ranks in two days and maintained steady sales over the next year with no additional marketing. No Money Marketing contains the story of how this was accomplished and how you can do it too. Whatever your product - be it a book, music, art... Market your masterpiece.

The willow is femininity, desire, death. Rebirth. With its ability to grow from a single broken branch, it is the living embodiment of immortality. It is the yin that wards off malevolent spirits. It is both revered and shunned. 
In Tortured Willows, four Southeast Asian women writers of horror expand on the exploration of otherness begun with the Bram Stoker Award-winning anthology Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women. 
Like the willow, women have bent and bowed under the expectations and duty heaped upon them. Like the willow, they endure and refuse to break. 
With exquisite poetry, Christina Sng, Angela Yuriko Smith, Lee Murray, and Geneve Flynn invite you to sit beneath the tortured willow’s gravid branches and listen to the uneasy shiver of its leaves.

Tortured Willows: Bent. Bowed. Unbroken.
