You know you’ve seen them; the posts and comments from people, stating they’re thankful for this or that, written like it’s an obligation. It’s like they’re trying to make someone happy. That half-forced thanks you give your aunt on Christmas when she gives you a kitten sweater. I don’t mean to say that they’re insincere,

Most of the planning at this point is being done for Timid Pirate Publishing. As a collective with several moving parts, the more foresight, the better. But I’m also doing a bit of planning for myself, particularly in regards to vacations/conventions (Norwescon, yes; Horror Con, maybe; World Fantasy in San Diego, I hope so; Foolscap,

Sorry folks. I’ve been a bit too busy, a bit too heads-down trying to get Ink Calls to Ink finished. That’s meant a dearth of posting. Ooops. On the upside, my first draft will be done by the end of the month — possibly before Thanksgiving. I’m working on it now and just paused long

As a writer of super-hero fiction (and movie-geek), I felt an obligation to see Megamind at the theaters this weekend. For those of you expecting a review, you won’t find one here. Sorry. Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of it, but there are enough reviews of the movie out there that you don’t need

Ok, this depends wildly on your definition of classic. I accept that. That said, my first novel, Cobalt City Blues, is back in print.

So you know those instincts where you think, “Maybe my body is trying to tell me something?” Mine was trying to tell me that I had a massive sub-dermal bacterial infection in my leg. Turns out that was the cause of all my health problems, starting with the nasty fever on the 18th. Tomorrow marks

I have been sick for the past 5 days. Actually, let me rephrase that. I have been “Plagues of Egypt” sick the past five days. I’m pretty sure that I was a zombie for a big portion of Monday, but I don’t really remember it. I was in bed all day except when I shambled,

I used to write screenplays. No, really. True story! Years before I finished my first novel or sold my first story, I wrote screenplays (though the first was more of an exercise). All four screenplays were written with partners, three of them with a good friend from high school and college who makes his living

I love October. It isn’t just the change in the weather, the turning of the leaves, and the sudden availability of pumpkin-flavored baked goods. No, for me, October is time for horror movies. Part of my TIVO ritual, back when I still bothered with such things as DVRs and cable television, was cuing up all

I’ve had a themed anthology deadline creeping up on me with the grim inevitability of Christmas for a while now. After all the anthology stories I’ve written this year, this one, with a simple, one-word theme, should not have given me this much trouble. Two false starts, time running out, and I was getting ready
