CHIM & HER ebook IS FINISHED
It is with great joy that I can today announce that the ebook version of CHIM & HER is finished. The ebook version contains 24 stories, that's 63,000 words of purest CULTURE SHOCK fiction. Eight of today's most thought provoking (and twisted) female authors in full collaboration with Chimera, that's me.
Not bad going considering that I have a fulltime 3D artist&animator dayjob in the computer games industry and the collection was only started in January of 2003, that's 7 months ago. I picked up a book at Horrorfind 2002 in Baltimore called DREAD IN THE BEAST by WHC GrossOut Winner and mass-market horror writer (Leisure Books) Charlee Jacob, mailed her about the Chim&Her collaborative collection asking if she'd be interested in being a part of it, and she was.
There are a couple of bonus items that will make it into the paperback version of Chim & Her, publisher to be announced. A Tricephallic is a story written by a three-lobed brain, basically Chim + two of the authors - there will be four of these in the paperback version and there will be one group story to finish off the book.
In other double-candle-burning news: Vincent Sakowski has just come on board as the eighth and final male author in the Chim & Her follow up book, CHIM & HIM. This follow-up collection is looking like being finished by Xmas 2003.
I have uploaded both covers to the site and have activated relevant links.

QUEENIE TIRONE ON CHIM & HER
I was thumbing through the virtual pages of Nevermore Magazine and there found that this quarter's featured author is Queenie Tirone (who I have interviewed before for Terror Tales and there she was shootin' her sexy li'l mouth off about our collaborative short story collection Chim & Her.
and I quote:
NM: So tell me about what you are working on now?
Queenie: Right now? Oh that's the Chim and Her collection for sure.
Nine Ladies and one Chimera. It's bound to be a scream.
NM: hmmm... tell me more...
Queenie: Well, Chimera writes with each lady. Me and him have three
stories. To each one he adds his touch to it, making the story turn
in strange ways. When two people come together to write something it
can really become wild. I have seen the first draft already, its
wild. The women involved have great imaginations.
NM: When can we expect to see it?
Queenie: Hmm... not sure but probably sometime next year. It will
definitely be E-book format. Hertzan is still looking for a print
publisher.
Many thanks go out to Queenie for the advance publicity on this title.
