Where Have All The Villains Gone?

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 22, 2012

I was responding to something that my computer did to me this morning (stupid cheating AI doesn’t know that I know he’s cheating so I won’t slaughter him in Stronghold Legends…) when it occurred to me that I only enjoy certain types of villains. And believe me, stupid, crushing everything mad “I’m the villain!” characters [...]

Well Paid Hack

1 Comment Posted by on May 14, 2012

Not apologizing for the lack of updates. Would you rather read this or read something in print (or e-book)? Thought so. Yes, I was working on Wraithkin and Failsafe. I’m also working on Heroes & Rogues, which needs to be done in about two weeks. Oops. I keep linking to both Amanda Green‘s and Sarah Hoyt‘s blogs because of [...]

When To Say When

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 9, 2012

I normally try to stay out of politics on here, but friend and author KT Pinto made a very good point earlier today: Never believe what a politician says as a general principle, but especially when they are trying to win an election. It takes a brave man to have a startling revelation, it takes [...]

Get Lit

Leave a Comment Posted by on May 7, 2012

Just a quick philosophical question for you younglings today: If “getting lit” means getting wasted (i.e., trashed), why do we assume that downing so much alcohol that our breath can light an open flame from thirty paces is the epitome of a good time? I mean, if I’ve drunk enough that my drunken antics go from being entertaining [...]

I love my camera. I also love that the birds here in Kentucky like to be photographed. They’re like the Kardashians of the bird world.

I Got Nothing

4 Comments Posted by on April 27, 2012

Feeling a bit melancholy today, so I went ahead and started listening to music from the Final Fantasy series. You know, that game series that pretty much shaped my formative years (okay, Final Fantasy III and beyond)? Yeah, that one. Hey, speaking of, if it’s called Final Fantasy, why are there fourteen games in the [...]

Motivate Me, Sir!

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 25, 2012

One of the roughest parts of getting through a day is the realization that not matter what you do, nothing seems to motivate you. Soda? Not working. Exercise? Not working. Two ounces of coke off of a prostitute’s ass (okay, metaphorically, but still…)? Not working. Though I’ll forgive Charlie Sheen for the advice. He really [...]

"Lawyers in Hell": Back into Hell

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 21, 2012

Reblogged from Shiny Book Review:  LAWYERS IN HELL is the first installment of the “Heroes in Hell” shared world anthology series, co-created by Janet and Chris Morris, in twenty-five years.  And as such, it’s both welcome and relevant, as there are plenty of new authors and characters who have yet to experience Hell and all its forms. The [...]

ConVent -- The Crazy Convention Story That Keeps It Fun

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 16, 2012

Reblogged from Shiny Book Review: Part of the fun when reading about the convention scene in fiction is finding “them” in your own memories (and, curiously enough, your own experiences) and giggling in recognition. Kate Paulk does this and more in her blood-sucking, werewolf prowling, con-going hoot of a tale, ConVent. “Jim”, as our hero in [...]

In A Groove

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 4, 2012

I think I’m starting to get into a groove here with both writing, working and reviewing. Somehow I found the energy to juggle all of them while pretending to have this wild and crazy life. I wish I could claim it’s been enlightening, but really it’s just a lot of Pepsi. My heart really won’t [...]
