October is now my official favorite month. Ok, not like that’s changed much. I’ve always been an autumn kind of guy. I love the sounds, smells, and temperatures of September-November, (back-to-school to Christmas, actually). I even got married in October once. That didn’t stick, but my love of the season did. But now, I have

Year of the anthology for me? I think so! It’s now official. My little honkey-tonk zombie love story will be published in the Rigor Amortis anthology coming out later this year. My part went from amused Twitter conversation to story over the course of a weekend. In that time the little zombie-erotica-anthology-that-could managed to land

After a few dedicated and hard-won writing sessions, I put the finishing touches on the first draft of a story I’m doing for an anthology. Entitled “Damn, It’s Hard Out Here For A Brownie!”, it is a sometimes twisted tale about pride in one’s work, labor relations, and how one crazy person can fuck it

Just saw roughs for the cover of Cobalt City Timeslip, featuring the new, unifying background for all future Cobalt anthologies. I can barely contain my excitement. There should be a cover to show in the next week or so, with a table of contents in early August. I’ve seen three of the stories so far,

It’s been far too long since my last update. Why, you may ask? In a word — busy. Now for more words.

I realize I’m a little late with this reminder, but I’ll be reading from “Frames of Reference,” my story in Close Encounters of the Urban Kind tonight. There will be several of us reading snippets from the collection, including Rosemary Jones, Erik Scott de Bie, Shannon Page, and Alma Alexander. If you’re not familiar with

It’s been a chaotic month. In the past four weeks (in addition to my regular 9-5 job), I did one reading for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE URBAN KIND at the University Bookstore, celebrated one wonderful relationship milestone, celebrated my birthday, and finished the first draft on three original short stories — two of them started

The first Gato Loco novel, Greetings from Buena Rosa (which you can download for free here) grew out of a news report about the murders in Jarez and Chihuahua. Old news now, perhaps, but at the time, it was shocking that hundreds of people were being killed and that in lieu of actual investigation, some

Norwescon draws ever closer, and I, for one, can hardly wait. Unlike the last few years, I’ll be staying there at the hotel, so I will be able to take part in a lot more of what Norwescon has to offer. Here’s my tentative schedule if you’re looking to find me Easter weekend. You will

My tentative schedule for Norwescon has crossed my desk. Four panels spread out over four days (two on Saturday) and a reading of “Deacon Carter’s Last Dime” at 12:30 on Friday. At this point, none of the panels start earlier than noon, none start later than 8 PM, and I get to moderate two of
