I just sent off the first Horror World newsletter in a long, long time. The newsletter, called What’s On Board, was a regular feature for a while, but was put on hiatus when Ron and Nanci began revamping the site, then we just never got the newsletter going again. Until now. This first one doesn’t…

My mom turns 60 today. She won’t read this, but … happy birthday, Mom. I’ve decided to go ahead an pay my dues to stay in the Horror Writers Association. It was conversations with and Lisa Morton that changed my mind. Of course, my dues are late, so I’ll pay online Monday or Tuesday, when…

I’ve loaded a test of the new Werewolf Saga site. The “Home” link takes you to my personal site and “The Forum” link takes you to an error page. The free sample text is not linked yet. This is the first site I’ve designed completely in MS Front Page, so it’s been a learning experience.…

The full frontal of the Scrybe Press edition of Call to the Hunt is now posted on the publisher’s site. Click here to see it. And I’m extremely proud to announce that Garrett Peck — one of the genre’s top reviewers and a fine author in his own right — has agreed to write an…

Forgot to mention … I know share my office at work with a bonafide beauty queen. My work study, Ashlea Brack, won the Miss Sunflower title last weekend. No photo, but here’s a newspaper article. You may remember her from such television shows as “Trading Spaces,” where she was one of the twins in the…

I freely admit I check the sales rankings of my books at Amazon.com nearly every day. I get bored. Several months ago, shortly after Darkscapes was officially withdrawn from the Baltimore publisher, Amazon sold enough that they put up the “Only 1 left in stock. More on the way” message. Then the message was that…

My wife gave me some really nice V-Day gifts — the massive four-disc DVD edition of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead which fills my mouth with zombie drool just thinking about it, and Universal’s Legacy Collection of The Invisible Man films. The Invisible Man is probably my least favorite of the Universal Legacy films, but…

Well, my last post was fun. You never know just who’s reading until you stir the pot. Here’s a little something that got some young women really stirred on Valentine’s Day 1998. I was a reporter/columnist at a university newspaper; a “non-traditional” student, I was about 32 when I was a junior in college. A…

Despite my strong political leanings to the right, I’m a pretty easy-going guy. Take this blog, for instance. I’ve been “friending” anyone who did the same for me and I actually read their blogs, or at least scan them. I have no problem reading some of the far-left wacko stuff. I like being exposed to…

I bundled up five kids today and set off in the minivan. I dumped off Sara and a friend at the friend’s house and continued on with just the three kids, heading for Sprawl-Mart for groceries and to begin pricing MP3 players, what I’d decided to get Kim for V-Day. Ah, but the children were…
