Good Places For Writers
A place for Keohanes around the world to leave messages and such, as well as cross links to other Keohane & related Cousins' sites. It's something ny brother Mike, sister Ellen and I started way back. a homeless shelter for families, composed of a network of churches and synangogues. I work for them twice a year when they come to our home town, and I'm also their webmaster. They're always in need of donations. The New England Horror Conference, or Camp Necon, is the only conference I go to with any regularity. So far been attending each year since 200. Limited to 200 writers, artists, editors and some fans - this is really a retreat for working writers - it's a real mellow, sometimes crazy, fun time, where everyone talks about writing for 4 days straight. Ah.....
Calla Creations - My sister-in-law Kathleen makes gorgeous jewlery and has decided to start her own website to seel some online. Check it out! my son earned his black belt here before college began, and I can't say enough about Harry Grimm and his wife's good, serious-but-fun Kempo ship. One of the best things to have happened to Andrew and a lot of other kids. Cinema Knife Fight: Friends Lauran (L.L.) Soares and Michael Arruda have moved their regular movie feature to their own website. Like Ebert and Siskel, these two go head-to-head with their reviews of everything that Hollywood spits out. Fun and always an informative read, it also features reiviews from other hips in-the-know folks including, well, me! I do a monthly science fiction review..
    A group of local horror authors from all levels of experience and success, started by myself and Michael Arruda, now run by me & Tracy Carbone .
My Publishers
Ralan.com. One of the best free market listing sites for most every horror, sci-fi and fantasy market out there.
My Publishers
   
Other Road Press. My own imprint, where I published Margaret's Ark in 2011 and more to come soon. Dragon Moon Press (Canada). Part of Edge/Tesseract Books, they published Solomon's Grave in Canada & the US in 2009. I used to be their webmaster, and did a 2.5 year stint as their "postmaster" (I answered the emails). Most recently I was a Trustee. To find horror writers, publishers, organizations, horror-related sites, links to art, articles on writing, this is the place to be. If you're a horror writer - join... well, if you can. Tougher to get in these days...
Necon eBooks publish the ebook editor of Christmas Trees & Monkeys, run by Bob Booth of Necon-fame. Germany. Michael & co published Solomon's Grave in German (as Das grab Des Salomon). (This makes country #2... any others?) and Plague of Darkness (as Plage der Finsternis). Otherworld is building a nice name for themselves in the market. Hopefully I won't drag them down. I and michael Arruda founded this back in 2003, and today, after changing hands a few times, it's become an amazing organzation for New England writers, helmed by Tracy Carbone and Stacey Longo Harris, with a board including myself (as tresurer these days). Our firs tanthology, Epitaphs, has just been released.
A very good place for struggling authors like me, plus agents and publishers, to peddle their/our wares. It was through this site that I originally hooked up with my Euro-agent and the Russian publisher. Il Punto d'Incontro. Vicenza, Italy. These folks were the first publisher to put Solomon's Grave out in Italian. It was released in December '06. Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America: I recently rejoined the SFWA after having left for a while, I missed sharing membership with the likes of Ray Bradbury and Ben Bova.
