Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week. Students at my school had the opportunity to stop by tables during lunches to write cards to teachers. Here are some samples of what I got: "My favorite teacher since freshman year! … You push me to be better because you know I can be." "You are effin awesome!!!"…
So, all around the nation today seniors were taking the Advanced Placement Literature and Composition test. At my school, three of my students opted not to take the test, some for decent reasons, some not. Of the 21 who did take it, at least four went to sleep without finishing even half of the test.…
It’s been a busy weekend, starting on Friday, when I took the day off work to go to the OWFI annual conference. This is really the only strictly writers’ conference I go to, and it’s … different. The organizers have tried doing separate tracks of programming for the beginners and the intermediate/published authors, but invariably…

I got home from Conestoga 13 this afternoon. Within an hour, I was asleep. I must be getting old. It’s not like I was up that late either night I was in Tulsa. But, that’s neither here nor there. As always, Conestoga was a lot of fun and a great chance to catch up with…

I’ll be at Conestoga this weekend. It’ll be a good time, with lots of good people, including Craig Wolf, David Lee Anderson, Carrie Jones, Brad and Sue Sinor and some of my fellow Oklahoma Speculative Fiction Syndicate members. I’d link to all of them individually, but that’s too many links. Just go here to see…
