Can Dragons Help Prevent Suicide?

Very happy to be involved with a book which helps support Suicide Prevention and Awareness, the anthology Where There Are Dragons, published by Robber's Dog Press. Not only that but my work is sitting beside all these fine people,  Donald Armfield, Maxwell Bauman, Melanie Bowling, Dani Brown, Justin A. Burnett, Garrett Cook, Dav Crabes, Ashley Dioses, Fiona Maeve Geist, Bo Hernö, Seth Hunsaker, James Jakins, Austin James, Christopher Lesko, J.L. Mayne, Christine Morgan, Jessica Amanda Salmonson,Eric James Stone and of course me, Dr. Benjamin Anthony.

On top of all these stories, each one has an illustration by the fantastic Betty Rocksteady!


My own story was a product of binge watching The Wire and listening to Tommy Cash, so it's pretty good. 


As for the question of this post, can dragons help prevent suicide? Well, maybe? I never met a real dragon, but the book is 12 bucks or 5 for kindle, and proceeds go to Suicide Prevention and Awareness charity, so hopefully that should help a little. 


Oh, and here's the cover, which is just beautiful!

I narrated a bizarro love story, audiobook thing!

Ever since I was little I've listened to audiobooks, which when I was little were books on cassette tapes, because apparently I am 90 years old and let me tell you, listening to cassette tapes in a horse and buggy is not as easy as you might think!
Well, anyways, I finally got around to trying my hand at narrating a audiobook, I found a young bizarro author looking to expand his work into the audio realm and now we have this fantastic book, The Drip Drop Prophet and Other Stories available on audible loose in the world of audiobooks. The main story is a bizarro romance between a man and the love of his life, which just so happens to be a candy red toaster oven.
Yes, I said toaster oven.
So go check it out, there's a sample of the audio right there on the page, and it's only like six bucks. Plus, I was already paid, so all that money is going straight to Austin James so he can continue writing his bizarro fictions, what's not to love about that?
