Maybe just two links.
Yeah, I went on and on about being part of 7th Son OBSIDIAN (heck, it was cool, what can I say?) and in the early days, back when I knew I was writing a story but no one else did, JC made a call for listeners to record videos during the blackout [...]

Help promote PFK!
People have asked me how they can help with Playing For Keeps promotion. I was more than happy to comply with some art from some very helpful friends, JC Hutchins and Tee Morris. Feel free to take the ads, put them on your site, and link back either here or playingforkeepsnovel.com! (And if you want [...]

More Interviews
I was interviewed 7/16 by Hollywood Jesus - it was an IM interview, so if some of my answers seem a little stream-of-consciousness, that’s how I am in chat…
My interview with Gem from Time Well Wasted went live this morning.
More coming soon!
The News From Poughkeepsie - Day 78
Macguffin Wednesdays:
Dump trucks have fascinated me - they’re huge, powerful, spraying rocks dirt on the road, destroying windshields and blocking vision. They’re usually too dirty to identify where they’re working, and most don’t even have license plates.
Is it just me, or is a dump truck the best spy/convict vehicle?
The News From Poughkeepsie is a daily [...]
Latest SG column is live!
I went more for a straight feature with the latest column, pushing music (mostly comedic) that you can find online.
Stories about the RIAA bullying music fans are so ubiquitous it’s nearly becoming white noise. The association has been trying to kill ants with a hammer; when the blow strikes true, it’s devastating, but even as [...]

First Sentence Saturdays:
The meeting of the Young Ladies’ Baking and World Domination Club came to order as usual, but because Miss Peabody was out sick, this time the meeting had to be chaperoned by Coach Wilkins.
The News From Poughkeepsie is a daily blog post featuring an idea for you to take and do with what [...]
Is Cheyenne Wright awesome?
Yes. Yes, I believe he is.
This is the Mighty Mur and the Pink Tornado. They fight crime. Thank you, Cheyenne!
In other news, I have decided to take an official week off from the News from Poughkeepsie. It will resume on Sunday.
Happy 4th to US residents!
Update on The Takeover and NfP
The Takeover has NOT podfaded! I went on vacation last week and then my computer had a hard crash and I lost all the stuff I’ve worked on in the past 2 weeks, including the script for episode 4. So I’m working on it as fast as I can.
The good news is that I have [...]
Origins Report
Last week we went on our year trip to Buffalo, NY to visit Jim’s family and then to head down to one of our favorite cons, Origins, the gaming convention in Columbus, OH. We got there Wednesday night and had dinner with our friend Dave Wendt and I later went out drinking with some friends [...]

Letters
When I think about the random things that shaped my childhood, I fear interacting with the Pink Tornado, because I worry an idle comment from me will affect her forever.
When I was in kindergarten, we had posterboards that anthropomorphized letters. The consonants were male, the vowels and Y were female (that always pissed me off.) [...]
