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 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.

Playing For Keeps launch date announced: 08/25/08
I received word recently that Playing For Keeps will be out from Swarm Press on August 25! This is the week before DragonCon, where I’ll be with BELLS on. BELLS, people.
I’m going to be asking you for a favor. If you want this book, if you want to support me for giving away years [...]

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 [...]

Mama told me her totem was the slug, and I didn’t want to believe it - especially when she said that, me being her first daughter, it was destined to be my totem as well.

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 [...]
See Mur in May!
I just realized my May is completely full up with appearances. I am not sure how that happened, but it’s going to be fun, if whirlwindy.
May 3-4: Quiet. I’ll be gardening. Also, tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. This is not busy, this is me building up strength.
May 10: Book signing at Constellation Books in [...]
Etiquette
I’ve hinted recently on Twitter and other areas that I need to make a “proper etiquette for contacting your favorite podcaster” blog post. I was surprised at the response - lots of people were actually for it. I was just letting off steam.
Then I found out that John Scalzi had written something similar, and I’d [...]
