Schaech has now branched out into screenwriting, collaborating with writing partner Richard Chizmar (the well-regarded Cemetery Dance publisher) on several film and TV scripts, including an adaptation of Bentley Little's short story The Washingtonians for the Showtime series Masters of Horror and adaptations of two Stephen King books - From a Buick 8 and Black House (which King co-wrote with Peter Straub).

Vince's contributions, Kirby's Kickin' Loaded Bruschetta and Sydney's Sumptuous Salty-Sweet Salad, were submitted to the charitable pet rescue agency as a way to honor his beloved Cocker Spaniels, Sydney and Kirby (pictured here).

The book, compiled by Diana Franceschi of Douglasville, Georgia, was created as a fundraising project to help cover veterinary expenses incurred by the group for the many Cocker Spaniels in their foster program. Ms. Franceschi shares her home with three rescued Cocker Spaniels, and wanted to help CSAC raise funds to help pay for the veterinary care and medicines necessary for the many CSAC dogs by enlisting the support of its members, friends, and family through this cookbook project. Artist Peggy Bang kindly let CSAC use her artwork for the book’s cover, depicting an adorable beige Cocker Spaniel begging for a snack.

The book is a sweet tribute to our furry friends and offers many unusual recipes. It can be purchased for $10.00, plus $5.00 shipping and handling through the CSAC website. It will make a great gift for pet lovers, especially Cocker Spaniel lovers.

CSAC (Cocker Spaniel Adoption Center Inc.) is an all-volunteer registered 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. For more information, please visit their web site by clicking on the photo above or email at information@cockeradoptions.org

Winner: IPPY Award (Silver) in the Horror category; presented during BookExpo in NYC on June 1st.

Finalist: ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Awards in the Gay/Lesbian Fiction category

Nominated: LAMBDA Literary Awards in both the Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror and Gay Men's Mystery categories

Nominated: 2007 Gaylactic Spectrum Award in the Best Novel category

On the book's recent award wins and nominations, Vince says, "I'm thrilled and humbled beyond belief by the book's good fortune. It's gratifying to be recognized for the blood, sweat, and tears that went into writing The Literary Six. I want to thank all of the readers who continue to support the book."

In addition, author Rick R. Reed, whose own recent novel IM is garnering strong critical notice, recently had these words to say about The Literary Six:

"Revenge stories, especially in the horror genre, have a tradition all their own. We've all seen variations on the theme. But what makes Liaguno's variation so compelling is the way he makes it his own, creating real, flesh-and-blood characters who are as flawed as the people in our own lives. This makes us care about them at the start of the novel, when they are college students, and much later, when the horror of their alliance comes back to haunt them. Liaguno is masterful at creating suspense and dread, but what really makes you afraid, and what really involves you in THE LITERARY SIX is the way he makes you care about the characters: there are genuine goosebumps when you see people you recognize and empathize with, and this is where Liaguno's talent soars."

Vince wishes to thank Rick Reed for his kind words in support of The Literary Six!

Zombos Closet of Horror is the brainchild of John Cozzoli, better known in Internet circles by his alter-ego Iloz Zoc – astute valet to Zombos, the famous horror actor. Framed against the engaging fictional conversations he shares with Zombos and his wife Zimba in the crumbling battlements of the Long Island mansion they share, Cozzoli shares his ruminations about books, movies, and the creative people who make horror go bump in the night. Catering to cultured horrorheads who want to keep the horror tradition alive for generations to come, Zombos Closet of Horror is a delightful mishmash of trash cinema, pop culture musings, and vintage horror.

Shocklines is the brainchild of entrepreneur Matt Schwartz, a longtime supporter of the horror literature community. Back in 1995, Schwartz created and maintained the original HorrorNet.com, a hub of horror websites designed to promote the horror fiction community. In addition to providing one of the first horror-fiction-based chatrooms and message boards, the site contained mini-sites for dozens of small press publishers, horror authors, and horror magazines, including Cemetery Dance, Gauntlet Press, George R. R. Martin, Douglas Clegg, Edward Lee, Subterranean Press, Borderlands Press, Ray Garton, and countless others.

When HorrorNet.com caught the eye of the powers that be at Barnes & Noble, Schwartz was hired on to be one of the first employees at barnesandnoble.com, handling all of their genre fare and limited edition sales, and eventually rising to editorial director. After that, Schwartz continued to wreak havoc on the .com world, taking a couple of VP of E-commerce gigs for niche sites like NextPlanetOver.com and Games.com (a former subsidiary of Hasbro), but ultimately decided to return his true love, horror. In late 2000, Schwartz began selling horror books full-time via ebay under the name of SpinMatt Auctions, which was the forerunner to Shocklines.com, a site that aims to be the one-stop shop for horror-related merchandise on the web, with a focus on horror fiction and poetry as well as artwork and related areas. Today, Shocklines is recognized as being the premiere online outlet for horror fiction.

In this episode, the on-air horror-comic duo of Mark Justice and David Wilbanks also talk with author John Urbancik (Sins of Blood and Stone, and the upcoming Breath of the Moon) and resident reviewer Scott Bradley serves up some super-sized horror reviews of some worthy reads.

At the gracious invitation of Chad Helder, proprietor of the Unspeakable Horror website that featured Vince a few weeks ago, Vince has joined the site as an e-columnist and resident slasher film aficionado! Slasher Speak: The Murderous Articulations of Vince Liaguno premiered on August 8th, and Vince is thrilled to be part of such a pioneering Internet destination. "I couldn't be happier to be sharing my reflections on the state of today's horror genre and waxing nostalgic over the many memorable slasher films that I enjoyed growing up in the 80's with the readers of Unspeakable Horror. It's truly an honor and a privilege to be asked to contribute to this high quality, literary website," Vince says of his new gig. Be sure to visit the site each week as Vince muses on any number of things - from what's new in gay-themed horror, to his insights on slasher movies, to behind-the-scenes peeks at the launching of The Literary Six.

Vince has just finished an enlightening interview with author Meg Tilly for the November ’06 issue of Autograph Collector. Tentatively titled Catching Up with the Actress Formerly Known as Meg Tilly, this in-depth interview finds the talented sister of actress and poker champion Jennifer Tilly discussing her latest literary endeavor, what fueled her decision to leave Hollywood at the height of her career, and her upcoming national book tour. Film fans will remember Meg Tilly from a string of memorable film performances, including The Big Chill, Masquerade, Psycho 2, Valmont, The Two Jakes, and her Oscar-nominated role in Agnes of God. Tilly is also the author of two novels, 1994’s Singing Songs and the upcoming Gemma, which is being released this October from Syren Book Company.
