I saw this the other day and refrained from commenting on it, but it’s been eating at me. Chuck Berry has endorsed Barack Obama for president. Now, it isn’t surprising that someone in the entertainment industry is endorsing a Democrat for political office. But, look at the story. Read it. What issues convinced Berry to…

Today I got to see Bret Jordan’s art that will accompany my story “Okie Werewolf Seeks Love” in Graveside Tales’ The Beast Within anthology. You can see it here. Now, I mentioned a contest, right?

It’s been a busy week. Me, the wife and the three youngest kids went down to a cabin in the Arbuckle Mountains Tuesday afternoon through Friday morning. Despite being extremely windy, it was a lot of fun. It was so windy we could only cook out once, and the patio furniture was always blowing around…

Today was a good day. Finally got our stimulus check today. I feel … stimulated. haha Roy at Bad Moon Books e-mailed today to let me know that Little Graveyard on the Prairie has been moved up to a fall 2008 release. I’m pretty excited about that. I need to write another story for the…

As I write this, Marcy is relaxing (ha!) in a hospital bed, enjoying contractions, while G runs himself ragged between the hospital, work and home. G was supposed…

My e-mail inbox was full today. Sure, there was the usual stuff … promises to make me bigger, harder, hairier and richer … but there was some mail I actually wanted to see. First up was the page proofs for Graveside Tales’ upcoming The Beast Within anthology, including my short story “Okie Werewolf Seeks Love.”…
