Blog Update
Cowboy Brain F***
Reviewed Paul McAuley's Cowboy Angels over at SBR this morning. Dear God, that book'll mess with your mind! I'll post more this evening. Right now, I'm trying to de-blenderize my brain.
ZzzzzZZzzz…
Overslept somehow this morning and got off to a horrible start. Then I realized I was out of the caffeinated beverage and had to rush to the store before my brain shut back off. *sigh* I didn't get a lot of writing done yesterday, thanks to it being a partial snow day. Sort of screwed up … Continue reading ZzzzzZZzzz…
The Asiago Tis a Lie
Behold, said the purveyor of the House of Dave, which is named Wendy's and where speed is of the essence. I harken unto thee a new, sparkling sandwich of a plucked chicken cooked with the rich, tasty Asiago cheese styled in the Italian cuisine secrets. Topped with the crispest of letti, the devil's apple and … Continue reading The Asiago Tis a Lie
Hook!
Blog monster is eating my cookies! Yes, I'm writing. Not just on the blog, either. I feel all accomplished and everything today. Yeah, I could be writing more, but personally I'd rather have clean clothes so I'm in the midst of doing laundry. Which means I'm not entirely focused on writing, which is an excellent … Continue reading Hook!
Whoopsies… Uh, Free Books!
Had a moment of panic last night while i was hashing out some minor details for Wraithkin (did you know that when an object orbits around the sun it's called a heliocentric orbit? I didn't know that...) when my Pandora station warned me that I was about all out of music for the month. You … Continue reading Whoopsies… Uh, Free Books!
It’s Child’s Play
Had a bit of a head cold this weekend (which sucked, I'll add) but apparently I'm all better now. Last week was a very productive week in the Wraithkin universe. Not only did I crank out 17,000 words, I might actually keep about 9,000 of it, which is pretty good for me (yes, new authors... … Continue reading It’s Child’s Play
Musically Entropic Clown
Music today makes me giggle. I actually listen to some of the lyrics of today's pop hits because when I'm taking Peggey and Scott's kids to school, it's what they want to listen to. So I'll listen to the latest music and the lyrics and I really can't help but laugh. There's no subtlety and, … Continue reading Musically Entropic Clown
Nelly… Furtado? Noooooo!
So yesterday I was trying to destroy a world (through the fire and the flames arose a great demon, blue in color of skin and eyes which glowed of gold... ahem, sorry) and I just couldn't find the right mood for it. I shuffled through both Pandora and my own music list before I realized … Continue reading Nelly… Furtado? Noooooo!
Snuke!
Off to a late start on the blog today, mainly because I've been writing since about 8 AM this morning. It's good to get started early, for me at least. So I'm pretty sure the publishing world is going to end. One of the stars of the television show "Jersey Shore" (Sooki? Snooki? Something that makes … Continue reading Snuke!
Just One Moment
Mailed out the last copy of Corruptor this morning. I have a few copies left for sale for Mysticon on Feb 25-27 in Roanoke, VA. Details here. I've noticed an uptick in ebook sales this past week and I'm happy about this. Not because of the book sales (though that makes me very happy indeed) … Continue reading Just One Moment
Red Shirt Birthday!
Today is Joe Buckley's birthday! Why is that special, you may ask? Well, Joe and I go way back (2002? 2003?) and despite all the times a character named Joe Buckley has died in a book, the original copy of Joe Buckley lives on. And Joe Buckley is to a good book as Ensign Roberts … Continue reading Red Shirt Birthday!
New Book?
Kind of brain dead this morning. No word about Christian Cole yet, as expected. Anybody read anything good lately? I noticed that I haven't really picked up anything new recently and, judging from the Amazon reviews of things, I don't want to. There seems to be a dearth of substandard writing out there, which is … Continue reading New Book?
Another Mention
Corruptor got another mention at Daniel O. Casey's blog here. I think he's going to review it. I'd like to hear what someone I've never met before thought of it.
Gone But Not Forgotten… For Now
When I'm in the writing process and have moved beyond the researching part, one of the things I do is bring out my little statue of Ganesh and sit him right at the top of my keyboard. I then taunt him mercilessly, asking him if he would like a peanut (and did he really mean … Continue reading Gone But Not Forgotten… For Now
