Do you like cheerleaders? Do you like aliens? Do you like urban legends? Well, then you're just gonna love my latest published short story, "Dying With Her Cheer Pants On," in which the Fighting Pumpkins Cheer Squad goes up against an alien invasion in a battle to the death, with the very fate of mankind hanging in the balance.
Some of you may have heard me perform this story live, since it's a favorite reading piece of mine (and how could it not be? I mean, really). For those of you who haven't, there's an audio version of the same story in this month's issue. Totally awesome.
I never heard of Bloody/Hell Mary--didn't hang out with an "in" or popular crowd. I was with the nerds of that era.
I LOVE the idea of "Fighting Pumpkins". My son has had a pumpkin obsession since 2 or 3, and he's 16 now. I ended up buying as many pumpkin, halloween, witch, and pirate books as I could find, and THEN I had to work in dinosaurs.
The guy who runs California Carnivores (plants) started out with dinosaurs, and now has a nursery just outside of Sebastopol.
