Amanda found this picture and left it on my desk at home. That’s her sitting on my lap in the photo, but of course she has no memory of the day she was touched by my favorite Loony Tunes character. She has no memory of that horrible vacation from 2001. It was awful. I will…

I’m sad to say that I’ve been unable to contact Garrett Peck since shortly after he agreed to write the introduction to the Scrybe Press edition of Shara. But I’m thrilled to announce that Gord Rollo, author of Crimson and another contributer to Blackridge Entertainment’s upcoming horror anthology film, has agreed to take on that…

There’s this little girl named Devon, see. And she has cancer. It’s bad. Real bad. Some guys did and are still doing some incredibly good things for her. So I’m asking you to support them. Brian Knight introduced Devon to the horror community. He worked with Matt to put together some eBay auctions to raise…

Today I talked to the director of graduate admissions at OCU about taking some writing courses to meet the requirements to teach creative writing/English comp/journalism at the college level. She thinks we can work something out if some other people on campus are willing to work with us. So, we’ll see about that. I’m actually…

I remember having some of those thin hardback copies of Aesop’s fables when I was a kid. I think they were from the Weekly Reader Bookclub, or something. A few weeks ago I finally found a copy of the collection of Aesop’s fables translated by Laura Gibbs, one of my professors from OU. I haven’t…

My day started with an e-mail showing that every TV station in town had run a story announcing the name of OCU’s new men’s basketball coach. Then I was summoned to the president’s office along the the VP of my department, the athletic director and the sports information director and we were asked who leaked…
