Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
I tell ya what, this working with a major publisher is A-OK with me. Bloomsbury sent out around 90 advance reader copies (ARCs) of the book to review bloggers, and those reviews are starting to show up online. I’m going to link to a few of them here, ‘cause I likes to share. The first…
The UPS man brought me a gift today. I had no idea what it was, as I wasn’t expecting anything, and the envelop he left behind was pretty thin. I tore it open and found anthrax. Just kidding! It was porn. No, wait! It was this: Okay, the picture doesn’t do it justice. Here’s what…
Okay, I have to admit that I have watched all the Harry Potter movies, but had not read the books. I’d been meaning to, honestly, but hadn’t gotten around to it. After seeing the last film, though, I hunted down Sorcerer’s Stone and began reading it. I’m really liking it. It’s written for a younger…

WEDEL: I would zip around the globe, destroying things that keep people like me – in my mundane alter ego…
My wife and I watched The Deer Hunter last night. Neither of us had seen it, though it’s been on my to-see list for a long, long time. There were several things that struck me as I watched this 1978 Academy Award-winner for best picture. Your comments on the following are welcome. Religion played a…

As we slowly approach the Sept. 13 release of After Obsession, the book co-written with the awesome Carrie Jones, I’m seeing an increase in hits to my Web site and am getting a few messages from new readers. This is great. Mostly. I’ve looked forward to this, believing that readers who like After Obsession will…

First, my wife has been off work for two weeks due to foot surgery. Second, I’ve been busy trying to get back into a writing state of mind now…
