And Carolyn O'Brien for helping with our submission reading.

And to Ben Errington for driving me to the comic book convention last weekend after the brakes stopped working in my car. Thanks man.


Tina Friedrich cannot be contacted through conventional methods. She is, in fact, from another dimension, a dimension where social media does not exist, everything is on fire, and the dogs are extra cute. Be patient with her as she figures out how this realm works but do keep an eye out because she’s writing like crazy! Keep up with her journey at www.SmartHorrorPublishing.com
