    Quick book roundup

    Because I forgot to mention in the grip of the Martian Death Cold, picked up more ebooks from Fictionwise: Naked in Death, Glory in Death, and Immortal in Death, by J.D. Robb. The first three of the In Death series, as I’m swapping out paperback copies for ebooks. Just the Sexiest Man Alive, Practice Makes…

    Not dead, despite rumors to contrary

    Y’all may have noticed that I haven’t posted in days. This has been because I’ve been sick as a dog with a cold that just will not quit, and have been ever since the day I came back from Vancouver. Woke up this past Monday with a soreness to my throat, and my first though…

    Great Big Sea at Olympics Victory Ceremonies in Vancouver, BC, 2/26/10

    Most of the rest of the world may have converged on Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics, but and me? We were there for Great Big Sea, baby!

    Back to Bone Walker exclusively tonight, just because that’s where the words seemed to want to go.

    That's all I got

    When I find myself staring dully and tiredly at the screen and no words are flowing, that’s the signal that it’s time to go to bed. But I did at least make a few words go tonight! And even if about 100 words into each of these things doesn’t seem like much individually, it will…

    Finally, some more words

    I’ve been frustrated enough with my months-long block on regular writing that I figured tonight I should try the multi-novelling trick. That’s helped in the past, and I felt it was long past time to try it again, just for the sake of advancing some pointers on various works on progress. I’ve mentioned before how…

    Signal boost for fellow authors

    First up, if you like the Jane Austen mashups that’ve been coming out lately, then you’ll probably want to take a look at this! I quite liked Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, so today I finally went down to Third Place Books and ordered me a copy of…
