He not only gave Zombrarian a chance say the phrase, “utterly charming Christmas ghost story,” but also provided a lovely bio that I’ll just leave here for you: Rob Smales, though 42, is a new writer who just enjoys telling stories. His newer short fiction can be found in Wicked Seasons: the Journal of New England Horror Writers, Dark Bits, Death by Drive-In, and the Demonic Visions series. When not spending time with his young son or writing short, somewhat random fiction, he spends his spare time working on a series of original ghost story anthologies, the first of which is titled The Dead of Winter. Dead of Winter will be available soon. Watch the SFSN website, Twitter, or Facebook for updates! http://www.scifisaturdaynight.com/podcast/talkcast211.mp3Download | Open Player in New Window
