You can click on the cover to embiggen it. I’m quite excited – this is the first time I’ve been listed on the cover of a print anthology as myself, and not as “OTHERS”. Oh, I’m certain I’ll be an OTHER many more times in the future, but it’s still nice to see my name, [...]

…is where I’ll be next week. I’ll be reading about 15-20 minutes worth of FrankenNovel. For a few people who thought I’d be reading “and Love shall have no Dominion” – I honestly don’t think I could get through a quarter of that story without being set on fire by all the shocked and appalled [...]

Well, jury duty was a quick and painless affair for me, once again. I got as far as voir dir on a civil case involving a car accident, but was dismissed once I revealed that I’d also been in a car accident. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I’ve always wanted to serve [...]

The title pretty much says it all. Two stories written over the past two weekends, a third story to be finished this weekend (in addition to working on the novel during the weekdays), and on top of this I’ve been battling the longest bout of insomnia I’ve ever had – maybe a couple hours of [...]

I’m going to start posting family recipes every now and then. I have no problem with sharing them, and I’d rather send them out in the world to be used and reused and rewritten and passed along, than just have them sit in my files and then forgotten about after I’m long dead and poltergeisting [...]

Yes, I’m still alive. I was going to post something at the end of the year, but I’ve fallen so far out of the habit of blogging, I just didn’t feel like it. Even now, I’m pretty meh about starting up again. I’m just not feeling the whole new year, new resolutions, new me crap. [...]

I’m going to be offline for much of the next two months, not just here but on Twitter and G+ as well. I’m pushing to get FrankenNovel finished by the end of the year, and the internet is just too goddamn big of a distraction. I’m an all-or-nothing person – I can’t limit myself to [...]

It’s a very good review. And I what I love in particular is that the reviewer has interpreted a number of the stories in ways I never saw before. You think you know everything about the stories you write, and then someone proves you wrong, in the best possible way.

That’s the name I’ve chosen for the series, of which FrankenNovel is book number one (yes, yes, insert a NUMBER ONE joke here, if you must). No coincidence that I live in a section of my city known as Powerhouse, or that I walk through abandoned factories, and past one spectacularly large 19th century powerhouse, [...]
