And we’re back!

Hello cyberspace. How ya been in my absence? I’m waving to everyone who has wandered back this way, even if you can’t see it through the computer screen. My new bride and I (myself now being a man of weddedness) have returned from our jaunt into the mountains. I know. Short honeymoon (we call it our minimoon), but it was spectacular. Beautiful blue skies in the mountains, stargazing and an amazing cabin away from everything. If anyone wants a recommendation for a vacation spot, check this out: Pikes Peak Resort. Incredible.

We’ve returned to a plethora of unopened letters and gifts, which we will be sorting through (lemme tell ya, I’ve never felt more blessed and loved than right now) and then we are picking up our moving truck and getting stuff out of storage. Tomorrow morning, we ride off for our cross-country adventure with the hopes of keeping our sanity along the way. Wish us luck. There’ll be a post to let you know we’ve arrived back at the apartment safely, which we will then start decking out with kitchen appliances.

In returning, I’ve discovered both a story rejection (oh well, I’m in such a good mood it doesn’t even faze me) and a story acceptance for an upcoming anthology (which is way cool). I’ll update the website with info on it, but the story, Don’t Read Them After Midnight, will show up in a chapbook anthology by Dead Letter Press, a limited edition press for those who enjoy dark fantasy.

This has been an overwhelming week and weekend, to say the least. Thanks to everyone for all the love and support you’ve given, for your prayers and thoughts. Fear not. There will be pictures…eventually. Gotta wait for the photographers to send them our way after touch-up. I’ll be the guy in the suit standing next to the beautiful woman who slipped a ring onto my finger last Sunday.

(Oh. And in true Colorado style, we had snow and sun simultaneously during our outdoor ceremony. Perfect.)

I see that smile.
