NOTE: IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE OFFENDED BY THIS AND TRY TO ARGUE, JUST MOVE ON. I’M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND AND YOU WON’T CHANGE MINE. Everybody else is talking about it, so why not me? First, for those who have forgotten or never knew it, I’m not Catholic. I grew up forced…

I’m paying for something. I think it’s the trip to the medieval faire. It was really windy yesterday. When we left, I was blowing dirt and grass out of my nose for a while. This morning my eyes are swollen and puffy and feel kind of gritty. But maybe that’s because I didn’t go to…

Where the hell did my weekend go? Here it is, just about over, and it seems like I didn’t get much done. The speaking engagement went well on Saturday, I think. Gayleen came to critique me and she said I did okay. I think some of the group members thought she was my wife. haha…

The nominees for this year’s Horror Writers Association Bram Stoker awards was announced this morning. I didn’t make the final cut. Oh well. Lots of tough competition, as usual. I don’t look forward to the decisions I’ll have to make voting on this final ballot. The fiction collection category especially is going to be hard…

Terri Schiavo is dead. May she rest in peace. And may the villians and heroes who made her last years such a political circus get what’s coming to them, too. Who is the most annoying radio talk show host? I freely admit to being a conservative Republican who willingly listens to a fair amount of AM radio.…

This is the big news I hinted at earlier. I didn’t think it would be announced until next month, but word was posted on the Shocklines bulletin board, so here it is. I’M IN! Here’s the TOC: Joseph Nassise (introduction) Kealan Patrick Burke — “Empathy” Ramsey Campbell — “Skeleton Woods” Darren Speegle — “Hexerei” Bentley…

Once upon a time I was a journalist. And I kicked ass at it. I led all Daily Oklahoman reporters in number of bylines month after month and was always able to produce a last minute feature story when my editor needed me. I covered the deaths of three teenage girls huffing gas, the May 1999…

Work has been pretty intense this morning. Mostly little stuff, but lots of it. And still quite a bit to do, but I have to prioritize so there’s something for the intern to work on later this week, although I’ll lose her on Thursday when we have the mass communications conference with Karen Hughes here.…

Yesterday I had to put on the heavy leather coat again. Today I was outside without a coat mowing the lawn for the first time this season. It’s crazy. No wonder everybody I know is sick. The kids colored Easter eggs this morning. Jacob has broken most of his, carrying them around and dropping them,…

I’m looking for feedback on The Werewolf Saga Web site. The design is simple and is my first attempt to use FrontPage. It’ll get tweaked a bit leading up to the Scrybe Press release of Call to the Hunt, but I’d appreciate any comments you might have on it. You can see it at www.werewolfsaga.com.
