Here is the cover for the upcoming Lawyers in Hell anthology. It is a gorgeous classical painting with a modern feel to it. Sums up the stories inside the book perfectly.
Heroes in Hell
Curmudgeon!
I'm in a foul mood this morning. Last night, a school under investigation for alleged recruitment violations won the national basketball championship. Never mind the fact, apparently, that this championship is probably going to be stripped and vacated. Never mind the school that got beat was (so far as one can tell) following the rules … Continue reading Curmudgeon!
200cc’s of Espresso, Stat!
Officially back to work today. Received two more books for the review pile over at Shiny Book Review. The first one, Stuff Christians Like, is highly amusing so far. The other, Kristine Kathryn Rusch's advanced reader copy of City of Ruins, has been read already and is about to be reviewed. Look for it sometime in … Continue reading 200cc’s of Espresso, Stat!
Another Boring Update
Well, I no longer feel as though I've been flattened by a truck. This is a good thing. Just got my invite back to Mysticon for 2012. The invites are going out this weekend. Apparently I jumped the gun when I emailed my contact person last night asking about it. Ah well, now I know. … Continue reading Another Boring Update
No Intelligence Here, Move Along Please
Amazing how you can come back from vacation exhausted. I'm still not "at my desk" but I have internet access (yay!) for the time being. Kentucky was gorgeous and my hosts were gracious people. They let me ride a horse that costs more than all of the cars I have owned combined. I was far … Continue reading No Intelligence Here, Move Along Please
A Snippet
Couldn't think of anything to write today so instead decided to post the opening snippet from my short story "And Injustice For All" from the forthcoming "Lawyers in Hell" (Janet Morris, July 2011), the first of the upcoming new anthologies in the Heroes in Hell series. Enjoy. *** "I’ve had it!” Marie Antoinette screeched as soon … Continue reading A Snippet
Rain and Crime
They say that amateurs built the Ark while professionals built the Titanic. This rain keeps coming down and I may need one. You can probably guess which one I'd willingly hop aboard. So I wrote a decent amount yesterday, which is normally not much news. However, for the first time ever I was able to … Continue reading Rain and Crime
Working To Stay Working
So I'm on a Heinlein kick right now, sue me. I finished (again) The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress and am now on a Heinlein juvenile, titled Space Cadet. It's one I was unfamiliar with so I started it last night. So far, about what I expected from a book written in 1948, though the … Continue reading Working To Stay Working
“Lawyers in Hell”
“Oui,” Marie Antoinette snarled at the swaying shrunken head. “Our dear prophet has lied again!” “I did not lie,” the shrunken head replied. “I did as you asked.” “I asked how to move into a place befitting my status!” Marie shrieked. “And you got us into Unwelfare housing, like common trash!” -- Jason Cordova, in … Continue reading “Lawyers in Hell”
Plague, Arriving
The plague has descended upon humanity once more, its earthly visage being two small, innocent children... Yeah, the kids are sick and home from school again. Just makes the timing all the more difficult because I am alone with the plague. I'm skeered. "AND INJUSTICE FOR ALL" is completed and turned in to the editor. … Continue reading Plague, Arriving
…and nothing else matters…
Countdown: 5 days until Mysticon, which I am very excited to be a participant at. I haven't been to a con in quite a while now, and I need a con fix. As I mentioned previously, I have posted my schedule (so far as I know it) and am eagerly awaiting a few of said … Continue reading …and nothing else matters…
The Windy Plains of Knowitallville
It's a windy day up at Soldier's Retreat today, with gusts up to 35+ mph. It's really cool to watch the flag whip around in the wind, as well as the windsock down on the runway stand nearly straight out. In the Lawyers in Hell group, we were talking about surroundings and how to use … Continue reading The Windy Plains of Knowitallville
Braaains! Wait, no…. caffeeeeeeeeeine!
Some people get addicted to drugs, others to nicotine. Mine is caffeine and it shows at the worst possible times. Like now, for instance. Twenty-four hours after I stopped drinking soda, my body is screaming at me. It is screaming loud. I haven't gotten much production done today because of withdrawals. I don't care what … Continue reading Braaains! Wait, no…. caffeeeeeeeeeine!
Another “Lawyers in Hell” Update
You should really go and join the "Heroes in Hell" page on Facebook. They're currently posting snippets from some of the upcoming stories from "Lawyers in Hell", coming out (I think) later this year. CJ Cherryh, Janet Morris, David Burkhead, Michael Z Williamson and Kimberly Richardson are just a few of the names of the … Continue reading Another “Lawyers in Hell” Update
Hell’s Bells
I guess I can make the announcement now. I've barely been able to keep quiet about the news. I was invited by Janet and Chris Morris to participate in their Heroes in Hell series in the latest anthology, Lawyers in Hell. I'm super excited about this and can't wait for you guys to see what … Continue reading Hell’s Bells
