First Published Letter , Published April, 1979 in VAMPIRILLA

Hey they did a story based on the Chinese Calendar and they got their facts all wrong. And me, being a young know-it-all-punk, had to give my opinion (I guess that's the nature of all folks who write letters to the Editor)! They not only published it, they acted like my letter was some major deal in relation to the story arc. Then they discontinued their story - claiming that there was a "problem with the mail" - and never re-started it. I wonder if I'm to blame?

RATTLESNAKE TIE, Published October 1995 in BIKER MAGAZINE (Paisano Publications)

Before the Internet was a public domain, I had "penpals" across the globe (this globe, earth, you boob!). When you write 5 letters or so a week, EVERY WEEK, you get to getting tired of the same old stuff: "I saw this movie..."; "I like this song..". So I started writing stories into my letters. After a while, my pals suggested I try and get published. After they read my story RATTLESNAKE TIE, many of them vehemently insisted that I try and get published. To get them off of my back, I submitted the tale to Easyrider magazine, who snatched it up for 10 cents a word FNASR and put it in their sister publication BIKER. Imagine my surprise!

feoamante.com, Published from Feb. 1999 to current (Feo Amante's Horror Home)

I started this site back in the nineties and I've wrote or built it nearly every day. But no matter how you look at it, this is a form of self-publishing so, moving right along.

ROT YER WORLD, Published June 2000 in HORRORFIND.COM

So I had this story see? Science Fiction and Horror combined - my favorite kind. Fiction editor Brian Keene, a bud, published it on Horrorfind out of pity or friendship or something. Lots of folks read it and seemed to like it though. Ah well.

HELLNOTES, Published Feb-April 2003

Judi Rohrig has spent years writing for feoamante.com so, when she took over the helm at Hellnotes and asked if I would contribute, how could I possibly refuse?
