Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
I have about 20 pages to go before finishing Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. I cannot believe this book sold 40 million copies. Anything positive I had to say about it was burned away when the villain was revealed. I swear, it’s like Brown realized he was at the end of the book and…
It’s now a proven fact that a kid from the ’80s can only go so long without hearing “Lipstick and Leather.” My drought ended yesterday witht he purchase of Y&T’s Best of ’81 to ’85. It also has “Summertime Girls.” Ah, what a video that was. Most of the other songs are forgettable, but “Lipstick…
The new edition of Darkscapes went on sale today at Amazon.com. It’s listed at the cover price of $16.95. Not too bad for 34 stories. They don’t have a cover on the site yet, but if you really wanna see it, you can hope over to my Web site, which I just updated. Keep in…

It has a nice looking cover and fiction from several authors, including a novella by Joseph Armstead. I had to leave the concert early because…

Tomorrow night Kim and I will join hundreds of other old farts for the first outdoor concert of the season in OKC. REO Speedwagon and Styx will be at the Zoo Amphitheater. Twenty-something years ago this would have been the biggest tour on the planet. Today … well … Gary Richrath won’t be there to…
As you may recall, last summer I was fired from the university where I worked so that a spineless sack of crap vice president could hire another of his friends. That university also hosts an annual book festival and, during the two years I was there, I was heavily involved in promoting it, rented booth…
What the hell is this fascination people have with cheese? I mean, seriously, has the concept of a hamburger without cheese become so farfetched that the typical fast food worker can’t fathom serving a burger without the yellow goo? That’s right. I don’t like cheese. Yes, that means I do not eat pizza. I will…
