Launch Day video 2

No, I’m not keeping up with Amazon. blame final cut. Blame it too for the dropped frames. BLAME EVERYONE BUT ME.
And it’s not Fidgert introducing the podcast (which is what the credits say), it’s Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit. Sorry, guys. the Fidgert video died.
Wheee. This is a rush. Latest Amazon rank- #20 in books.

My attempts to saturate the Internet with Mur continue…

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…

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.

The News From Poughkeepsie - Day 57

Settings Tuesdays
I like abandoned buildings, urban decay, as much as the next person. The potential for fiction, what happened here long ago, etc, is excellent. However, what about shiny new buildings full of people? Why do we never assume they have personality, or hauntings, or quirks? (Indian burial ground doesn’t count, either. I want something [...]

The News From Poughkeepsie - Day 46

General Stuff Fridays
What amuses me about people is how much we emulate Aesop’s Fables. Take the weather. We are all convinced that whatever weather we deal with is the worst, and that anyone else who has to deal with less than we do is a complete wuss. Take Southerners and snow. We don’t get a [...]
