I’m going to assume if you’re reading this blog you’ve probably already sampled my writing, though if you’re of a mind to try something new, far be it from to dissuade you to follow Cthulhu’s recommendation and get yourself a copy of Weird Noir! Paperback or ebook available — and you know, all those other…

Cyber Monday Holiday Bazaar
I got a wonderful email from Alyce Wilson, editor of Wild Violet, a magazine that’s hosted a few things I’ve written. She had a terrific idea that she’s put into practice: Part of Wild Violet’s mission is to support independent writers and artists. With that in mind, on my author’s blog, I have created a…

Shamans v. Aliens
The big news this week is of course the reveal of the cover art for Owl Stretching, my novel out this month from Immanion Press. Another lovely Ruby design (she also did the cover for Pelzmantel and most of Storm’s books, too). It was quite a challenge to figure out what to put on the…
Keeping Abreast of the Fabulous
All right, even I am having difficulty at times keeping up with all the news, so if I repeat something here, it just means you’re paying attention, well done, here’s a cookie! Soon I have to leave the glories of Alba for the um, gories? of Albany. Alas. Which means I have to figure out…

Friday’s Forgotten Books: Many Happy Returns
I am doing my taxes today which leaves little time for writing at present. I am somewhat abashed to find I spent over $6300 on travel last year. As luxuries go, that’s one of the best. I have Many Happy Returns: An Unofficial Guide to Your Income Tax Problems by Groucho Marx. I believe my…
Tuesday’s Overlooked A/V: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore
This blog takes its name from my first film, Un Amor Peligroso or The Wombat’s World. I joked about my anticipating the success of The Artist by making a silent film back in 1978, but then there was also Mel Brooks’ Silent Movie about then, so I can’t take much credit. There may be something…
Friday’s Forgotten Books: If You Want to Write
As I get ready to teach another Creative Writing course, I think about books to recommend at the end and here’s a perennial recommendation. I’d also recommend Lynda Barry’s What It Is as well, especially if you yearn to write but haven’t quite figured out how to get the inchoate thoughts in your head out…
