TOC for Widowmakers, the James Newman Benefit Anthology

Take a look at those names! I'm in great company here, and I couldn't be more excited to help out by donating a story. If all of these authors promote the book when it is released (August, I believe), then I think we can sell enough copies to help with what I imagine is a daunting pile of hospital bills that James and his family are dealing with .

Here is a blog post from Brian Keene that explains what happened to James better than I could do here.

The title of the anthology is Widowmakers, which is a term used in forestry for a large limb broken and hanging or falling from a tree. Yes, it's a morbid title, but we are horror authors, so it's only fitting.

I will post more information once the book is released. It's going to be huge.
