Blogging Elsewhere: Wednesday, July 17, C.M. Simpson was at the DSDU Blog

After a week with a broken computer, we missed this guest blog over at Dark Side Down Under. A group of Australian writers of romance and other paranormal genres, they kindly hosted C.M. Simpson their regular A Bite Of… blog spot on Wednesday, July 17. She discussed the inspiration behind the stories and poems in An Anthology of Battle(which may also be found in her Short Stories and Poems of 2012 collection), and gave an excerpt from one of her favorite stories, Jalaya.
