Tom Howard’s “Aphrodite’s Mirror” now in Rabbit Hole V anthology

I’m lucky enough to have my work included in The Rabbit Hole Volume 5: Just…Plain…Weird anthology along with quite a group of talented authors. I especially love the teaser

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole. On our fifth excursion into the warren of the odd, 37 authors lead us down their own little burrows of strangeness : an army of penguins, music that cures, aliens that communicate through old cartoons, images of the future that save, unwanted visions of the now, and, oh yes, it is raining lawyers. All have one thing in common, they are just…plain…weird.
Weird can be funny, weird can be sad, weird can be thoughtful, weird can be mad, but the one thing in common is that weird shares experiences you have, thankfully, never had.
Just be careful, all little bunnies are not nice, but they are memorable.

About the Author

About the Author
Severely beaten as a child by a WWII hero and combat-induced-PTSD stepfather, the author, as a teen, faced the old man down with a shotgun and earned his blessing to join the military at the time Americans were learning about a country called Vietnam. The “lazy, no good son-of-a-bitch” opted out of combat and hard labor by becoming an Air Force medic, stamping out suffering and misery on Freedom’s Frontier at Clark Hospital in S.E. Asia and earning some kind of medal personally pinned on him by then Secretary of the Air Force, Harold Brown, for “Saving lives, etc.”
There followed a summer in Europe ending in the first of many happy marriages. Then graduation with University Honors, kids worth dying for and a career in business. Life is good.
Author, The Phoenix Diary. Founder, Sci-Fi Lampoon Magazine. Co-founder, WritersCo-op.com. Recipient of the Psi Young award for Creative Biography.

About the Author
I am a full-time writer living in Toronto. My first attempts at storytelling were as a playwright. My plays, mainly comedies, have received over a hundred performances in various venues primarily in the United States but also in Canada, the UK, and Panama. I have had several plays published and one of my full-length plays, The Retirement Plan, which won a Patron’s Pick award at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2013, has been optioned to be made into a movie and I have co-written the screenplay.
I have also written a mystery novel (Last Voyage, Northern Lake Publishing, 2018) and numerous pieces of literary fiction, but after experimenting with many different genres I have settled on speculative fiction as the best fit for my approach to storytelling. I have had numerous speculative short stories published in the past few years in magazines and anthologies.
