About me: I love to read works that are scary, yet uplifting. And I relish a good love story. My own stories deal with the struggle of good versus evil, horror and the healing power of love. My poems and short stories can be found under the name of Sarah Wilson at darkmoonrising.com, the awesome theworldofmyth.com, and horrotica.com.
I'm proud to announce two of my stories will be in the SOON TO BE RELEASED anthology from The World of Myth, (ISBN 978-0-6151-8339-2) available at

Gerard Butler, who was awesome in "Dracula 2000" and "Phantom of the Opera". Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Robert R. McCammon, writers who instilled my love of reading and, without knowing it, taught me the craft of writing. Jim Butcher, who writes the wonderful Harry Dresden series. In fact, if Harry was available...
As to historical figures, of course King Matthias Corvinus. Now, Vlad Dracula, I'm not sure I'd want to meet that man. I think I'd have to run the other way.

"Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence, Striking with his heel a tomb, Death at midnight plays a dance-tune, Zig, zig, zig, on his violin. The winter wind blows and the night is dark; Moans are heard in the linden trees. Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, Running and leaping in their shrouds. Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking, The bones of the dancers are heard to crack— But hist! of a sudden they quit the round, They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed."
Thank you again for the illustration comment, Sarah. Hopefully the illustration will add to the story and even create more interest in it. The Crop Frog story was both fun to read and illustrate.
Hi, Sarah! I'm on the fence about the OWFI con this year. My book is still in submission to publishers, which, I'm sure you know, is interminable! lol Thanks for adding me!
