I write things and talk about stuff. Sometimes I swim.
‘Tis the season for Christmas songs to worm into our ears and bounce around in our brains, even when the radio isn’t on. It’s always a little weird for me, because every time I hear “What Child Is This?”, my brain does not hear the sacred lyrics, or even the original Greensleeves, but this parody […]
Today only, Traveler ebooks are just 99 cents! Get yours now, or give as a gift (we won’t tell how much you saved). In a parallel universe, some version of you is already reading it. Why should that jerk have all the fun? Buy for Kindle on Amazon.com. Buy for Nook on barnesandnoble.com. Want a signed paper copy? […]

As any reader of this blog (let alone my novel Traveler) would know, I am a lifelong Sci-Fi and Fantasy fan. I joined the Sci-FI Book Club at age fourteen and had built a substantial library by the time I got to college.

The first rule of writing like Chuck Palahnuik is to never talk about writing like Chuck Palahnuik. Although, depending what writing sample I put in, I also get Gertrude Stein and P.G. Wodehouse, or Arthur C. Clarke. At least it wasn’t E.L. James. The website, BTW is http://iwl.me. Be warned, though. It’s a TIME SUCK. I […]
Kind words from the Gazette’s Mary Sharp, who is not easy to please!

And as if that weren’t weird enough, both the hardback and paperback editions are out of stock. Which probably means both of the copies […]
