  • Jeanne Stein interview

    I’ve been drowning in snot and work. The weather changed here for a couple of days and almost everyone I know is fighting off some degree of a cold. That’s why I’m just now getting around to mentioning that I recently interviewed Jeanne Stein for Fang, Fur & Fey. Jeanne is a real sweetheart, and very funny. You…

  • Girls update

    Woohoo! I hit my weekend goal of 10,000 words on The Girls Nobody Wanted to Date. I attribute that to the inspiration I received at the news of John McCain’s pick for VP. (Not really, I just want to rib glamberson a bit.) Anyway, here’s the total count as of right now: 10,157 / 60,000(16.9%)…

  • August Contest Closed

    My August 2008 contest is closed, since it’s after midnight on Sept. 1 now. And the winner is … nobody! Not a single person submitted answers to the quiz. For the past week I kinda figured somebody would take a shot, get one question right and win the prize. But … nope. Was it too…

  • Boomer! Sooner! And the word count update thingy.

    Yesterday (well, technically, the day before yesterday now) the Oklahoma Sooners "hung half-a-hundred" on the Chatanooga Mocs at Owen Field. And I was there. For half of it, anyway. My oldest daughter’s best friend’s dad wasn’t using his tickets and gave them to me. I have very few male friends around here who like football,…

  • Girls Nobody Wanted to Date update

    Pretty good session today, despite a horny dog and a pack of kids trying to eat all my kids’ lunch food. 4,445 / 60,000(7.4%) I’m requiring my Creative Writing students to write and polish a 3,000-word story by end of this nine-week period. It’ll be the major part of their final test grade. In that…

  • Help an inner city school?

    I teach English at Western Heights High School in Oklahoma City. I’m the sponsor of the school’s book club, too. We recently got school board sanctioning to have the club and an expense account, but they didn’t give us any seed money. We’re looking for ways to raise money without any money to spend. To…

  • Bad Moon Books decision

    I just wanted to say that I’ve made the decision to honor my contracts with Bad Moon Books. I asked Roy some pointed questions that I believe he answered honestly and fairly. Based on that, the fact I’ve already signed the deals, and … other things I’ve learned, I will not be pulling my books.…
