Today's blog features the vampire shrink author, Lynda Hilburn. She is including a book giveaway.
2. My mystery pen name, Sue Star, has joined Mysteristas, an online group discussing aspects of mystery writing. Come visit us at
Sue adds her thoughts on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of every month. So far Sue has written about:
- what it means to get lucky when you're a mystery writer
- visiting the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C.
- spies on the homefront during WWII
- what can you do, when your writing gets stuck?
3. Last but not least, one of my stories appears in Fiction River's May release, Fantasy Adrift.
My story is "Shifting Jinn," by Rebecca S.W. Bates. It's about an eastern genie in the west, fighting voodoo and crime in the Dominican Republic.
It's been a busy and exciting month!
