Screaming into the Virtual Wind

The new issue of Twisted Tongue is out which means that the first two parts of my lil zombie novella, The Undead Alliance, are now published :)  If you want to check out the awesomeness for yourself, you can either purchase a paper copy of the magazine or download the free PDF. here.

How cool is this cover?!

I also found out today that a story I wrote about an imprisoned werewolf called The Lycanthrope Technician has been published in Dark Fire Fiction, and it was chosen as this issue’s Feature Story!  Check it out…

Vampires, zombies, werewolves… If I write a story about a Frankenstein-ey monster I’ll have the whole set!

In other Caroline-related news… I’m becoming scarily obsessed with getting a new tattoo.  My lack of money and a disapproving husband have yet to deter me (a girl can dream, after all.  That’s what writers are good at).  But not just any tattoo, oh no.  I want a fan-boi’s wet dream Lord of the Rings inspired tattoo.  I love hobbits and I’m not ashamed to admit it!  I want a tattoo like this…

Or this…

(Minus the goatee beard )

But not this.  Dear God, not this…

This tattoo would give me hideous nightmares.  Me and any innocent bystander who saw it.

Is it over-the-top-geek to want a Lord of the Rings-esque tattoo?  Maybe…  Now I just have to work out the Elvish for “I heart the Shire”…
