  • Post-con Blues

    My wife, who I love very much, believed the original post in this location was open to misinterpretation. Upon rereading it, I saw her point. I didn’t want people to get the wrong idea, so I’ve deleted it. As to the original post, suffice it to say Horrorfind Weekend V was a lot of fun…

  • Horrorfind

    I’m at work, so this isn’t the real lowdown on the con. This is just to let those who care know I made it home. I’ll probably do a three-part remembrance of the best damn con I’ve ever been to later on today. Many highlights, different topics. Amazing weekend! Many, many thanks to Mike and…

  • Pre-Horrorfind thoughts

    Okay, I’m a writer. I think there’s a dictionary definition that says something like Writer: Person who cannot get anything done until the deadline is at hand. Last night I burned 50 giveaway CDs for Horrorfind. Then printed little inserts so people would know what the hell they were picking up. Then I assembled the…

  • Thank God for headphones

    All is right with the world today. The mail just went and Sara’s “special edition” copy of Hillary Duff’s new greatest hits CD arrived. That’s a day before it streets, ya know. Yeah, I knew you know that. The special edition CD was only available from Duff’s Web site and is special because it comes…

  • Busy Pre-Horrorfind Weekend

    Whew! I’m definitely staying busy this weekend. I’m working on graphics and PDF samples from my books to burn to about 50 CD samplers I’ll be giving away at Horrorfind next weekend. I also need to print covers for however many print samplers I have left. I guess it doesn’t sound like much, but I’m…

  • A day off

    Oh, come on. It’s funny. I have a day off. After working two mornings. Okay, maybe only I see the humor in that. I don’t work on Fridays, though, because somebody else uses “my” office on Fridays. And Wednesday afternoons. I’ve heard from two friends today, one of whom is a former boss of mine.…

  • First day at work

    Not much to say, really. I went to work this morning. Kinda felt strange getting up and going to a job again after more than two months. The ladies I work with all seem really nice. Yes, all my co-workers are female. So far nobody’s asked me to move furniture or anything manly like that.…

  • National worries and horror booms

    One of the friends in my critique group brought up the subject of horror booming during times of national concern. Her being a converted Democrat, I assume the “national concern” she’s talking about has to do more with Iraq than 9/11. But we won’t split that hair today. This topic of horror booms and national security…

  • Employed

    Late yesterday afternoon I accepted a job working part time for the South Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce. The president of the chamber was surprisingly willing to accommodate me. This will be a good job for me. The hours are flexible, I’m a little familiar with the chamber from reporting about its activities for OKC…

  • The kid is hot tonight

    Well, they ain’t kids anymore, but Loverboy still put on a pretty good show tonight in OKC’s Frontier City theme park. Like their career from the ’80s, the show was a little ballad heavy, but the rockers made up for it. Man, they were a hot band when I was in high school. Loverboy, Journey, Billy…
