March 1, 2010: I created a blog at http://loisgresh.blogspot.com. I’m also maintaining this site (right here at www.loisgresh.com) and will post news in both places.
March 1, 2010: Apparently, I’ll be writing another “supernatural” novel for 2011 publication. The offer came a few days ago, and I am thrilled about this one! I’ll post news about PROJECT X here and at http://loisgresh.blogspot.com, so stay tuned.
LOOK FOR BLOOD AND ICE IN OCTOBER, 2010!
Some of my recent stories are in Tales Out of Miskatonic, Ancient Shadows, Hungry for Love: An Anthology of Zombie Romance, and others.
I’m also the author of dozens of published short stories spanning many genres: mystery and suspense, dark fantasy, weird fiction, science fiction, horror, romance, and humor. I’ve been nominated six times for national fiction awards.
