Delusional Doom Blogfest - Obituary for Ima Bimbo

Ima Bimbo, winner of Survivor: Malibu, died today in a freak accident during the nude celebrity volleyball tournament.


Ms. Bimbo was struck in the head by a six-inch stiletto while posing for photos with fans. Efforts to revive her using CPR failed, due to enormous breast implants blocking her ribcage.

Bambi Wannabe, the owner of the shoe, denies any involvement, saying she was barefoot at the time and forgot where she'd left her high heels. As readers may recall, Ms. Wannabe had accused Ms. Bimbo of stealing the Survivor title from her three months ago and swore revenge.

Charges may be filed, pending the outcome of the investigation, but key evidence has already been taken by overzealous fans, including the shoes in question. The Malibu police are asking for any witnesses to contact their department.

Nothing But Flowers Launch Party!

I'm honored to be a part of a new anthology, Nothing But Flowers. Below is the blurb and an invite to the launch party.

"Nothing But Flowers: tales of post apocalyptic love" is the second offering from Literary Mix Tapes (a quarterly crowd-sourced short fiction anthology inspired by music).

Inspired by the Talking Heads song of the same name, Nothing But Flowers explores the complexities and challenges of love in a post apocalyptic landscape. From plague to fundamentalist governments, comets and war, from terra firma to outer space the people on these pages face up to what it means to love and be loved when you’ve lost everything.



We also have a Facebook launch party… so please join us and invite your friends, too! A ‘yes’ RSVP puts you in the running to win one of four eBooks and a signed paperback.
