Just got word that the soulless wonder of Oklahoma Shitty Univeristy has fired another of my friends. Despite being in on the hiring of the Webmaster, Art Cotton fired him today. God, I don’t know how that man can look at himself in the mirror. Good luck, Travis. Like I told you, you’re better off…

We were cheated on our storm. I guess some parts of the state got rain, but not here. Oh well. Remember a while back I said Maximum Metal asked me to participate in the One Question column? It’s been posted here. Lots of good songs listed there.

Don’t you love it? You can feel the storm moving toward you. The untamed power of a storm is pretty damn thrilling. I don’t know what this one will be like, but the wind is up, the clouds are in and the air has that special feeling that builds prior to a release of violence.…

I’m working on a poster for The Werewolf Saga and was doing an online search for blurbs and reviews I might have missed. I came upon this post that pastes a review I had not been aware of previously. I imagine the reviewer said these complimentary things about my story prior to becoming a partner…

Ahhhh. Home again. The weekend getaway was fun. The kids were all surprisingly good and I think they had fun, too. Sara got sick on Saturday, which I’m sure wasn’t fun. She spent the evening vomiting. I suspect it’s from holding the flu-infected niece of a friend of hers, which means we may all get…

I got my copy of The Horror Fiction Review No. 9 today and saw the review of Murdered by Human Wolves. It’s a nice review. Christine Morgan said, in part, “I thought that a story this compelling deserved much more than a scanty 60-some pages. It’s excellently told, but feels sketchy in some places.” Of…

This is just a quickie before I log off to make a phone call. I got a letter from the Oklahoma Department of Education today saying I’ve passed the first hurdle in the road to become a teacher. Initially, I can only be certified in journalism, which will make the job search harder, but once…

What a crazy day. I had seven kids in the house for a while. Robert’s memorial service was this evening. It was quite a moving ceremony. It’s still hard to believe he’s gone. The cathedral was packed, as if George Bailey himself had left us. At least Robert’s suffering is over. He was two months…

Yes, I used to watch “Hee-Haw.” Today was a bad day. Probably shouldn’t have been. I got an assignment from a monthly magazine I’ve never written for before. A trade publication showed great interest in multiple articles. And yet, all was overshadowed by the fact I found out OCU is screwing me out of 22…

Two other good things came of my attendance at Conestoga this past weekend. The first was just getting re-inspired to work on The Puppet King. Enthusiasm for the project waned a bit as I worked on the MbHW screenplay. And, my critique group isn’t digging the book much; Tarod, the hero, isn’t particularly likable in…
