My story collection THANK YOU FOR THE FLOWERS will be out in October 2000. The book contains 13 stories of suspense and imagination, including several award-winners. I have a Flowers page up at www.hauntedcomputer.com/flowers.htm. You can see the cover and get more info. Sharyn McCrumb, Kevin Anderson, Dave Wolverton, and Tim Powers have given me cover blurbs. The collection includes "The Vampire Shortstop." The story won the grand prize in the Writers of the Future contest. If you'd like personally-signed copies, e-mail nicholson@boone.net. Thanks for your interest. Scott Nicholson nicholson@boone.net http://www.hauntedcomputer.com
