\"Cat-Bird<\/a><\/p>\n

EDIT: CONTEST NOW OPEN TILL 11:59PM TONIGHT, WEDNESDAY (FEB 2ND).<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is time to give away some copies of IRREGULAR CREATURES<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, my short story collection.<\/p>\n

Giving away five total copies in your choice of Kindle, PDF, or ePub format.<\/p>\n

Seeing as how the collection offers nine short stories, each featuring some bizarre beastie, some mythic miscreant, some maladjusted mutant, I thought I’d run a little contest.<\/p>\n

That contest: come up with your own “irregular creature.”<\/p>\n

I want to see, in 100 words or less, your own crazy concoction — an original creature or monster of your own design. Fantasy, humor, horror, sci-fi, whatever. Have fun with it.<\/p>\n

My collection has cat-birds, mystic rag-man hermaphrodites, and the vaginas of fallen angels.<\/p>\n

What will you<\/em> come up with?<\/p>\n

You’ve got 24 hours.<\/p>\n

I’ll pick my five favorites at noon on Wednesday, February 2nd (aka “tomorrow”). Those five will have their choice of how they want the collection (be advised: “rectally” is not a choice).<\/p>\n

Drop your beastly imaginings into the comments below.<\/p>\n

Let the mythological mutations begin.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
