Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
It is just after 2 a.m. on Sunday. It’s the last day I get to stay up like this. Twenty-four hours from now I’ll be sound asleep, just over three hours away from the first attempt of the alarm clock waking me up. Then it’s back to school, where I’ll face AP kids upset that…
In reading friends’ blogs and the comments left by others, I’m struck by how many LJers feature their pets (or some random animal) in their avatars or posts. Far too many of them are cats. Cats are okay, but they are fickle creatures that can never really be trusted. Dogs, on the other hand, are…
No, I’m not doing one. Right now my only list would be: 10 Most Futile Things I Said to Students. However, Greg Lamberson did an ambitious Editor’s Picks over at FearZone.com, covering his Favorite Fears of 2008. I am humbled to find not one, but TWO of my own books listed there, with very kind commentary,…

For some reason I’ve been in the mood for the old tunes the past few days. You know, the stuff that was on the charts when I first began driving and a little before. The good stuff. No Men at Work, Flock of Seagulls or Culture Club. I’m talking Styx, Journey and REO Speedwagon. That was…

Again, much appreciated! Because of the Stoker recommendations and the cutoff date for consideration, I got in touch with Roy at Bad Moon Books today…

I know, I know. You’ve been wondering why I haven’t posted information about my annual holiday giveaway, right? That’s a long story, really. Doesn’t matter. The contest is late, but it isn’t dead. Do you want a chance to win a free signed copy of Ulrik and the chance to hear a real Okie read…
And this is it. Today is Release Day for Carrie Jones‘ new novel, her first paranormal, called Need. Carrie is awesome. Carrie’s books are not to be missed. They’re young adult, but old folks like me love them, too. Kinda like Spaghetti-O’s with the little wienies in them. Two days before Christmas. You still have…
