On Snow and the South

It snowed last night. They were calling for 4-8 inches. We got about 3 in my area. Yeah, they called off the Pink Tornado’s school. Yeah, they closed my dentist’s office.

Dare to be Stupid

Every friday I have a standing lunch with some friends. We’ve been doing this for years. It’s a good group to talk with, laugh with, and bounce things off of.
On Friday, Eric was telling us about this new project. I won’t go into details, cause it’s his project, but we were talking about the pros [...]

Follow-up to Tuesday’s Suicide Girls post

Wow, Tuesday’s post about social networking and the link caused some discussion! I want to bring up a couple of points.
SG was chosen because it was on my mind, but it was a poor example as you have to register with the site to be able to comment. It doesn’t change the fact that [...]

As most of what I consume is audio, this video was fun to watch. I see Scott once a year at best, so it was cool to watch him interviewed. I [...]

Another Superhero Author Could Use Your Help

Many of my listeners are also fans of Jeffrey DeRego’s Union Dues series of short stories that appear on Escape Pod. Editor Steve Eley posted news about DeRego’s recent heart surgery, and is asking people to help out with his medical bills.
Steve says it better than I, but if you are on board and don’t [...]

My attempts to saturate the Internet with Mur continue…

New Suicide Girls column! A lot of people have asked me how I like my new Kindle that my mom got me for my birthday. Well, I’ll tell you… (standard caveat- possibly NSFW ads, SG is, pictorially, an adult site, but my column is clean)
I love tea, and I love podiobooks, not to mention a [...]

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!
