MindBuckMedia
Dearest all- I run a boutique marketing company called MindBuck Media as well as being a freelance writer and a novelist. MindBuck specializes in promoting creative businesses, projects and people in mindbuckin' ways that are interesting, provocative and make you say hmmm... I want s'more. We specialize in buzz campaigns (online and in the flesh) and any and all writing material including ebooks, website content, press releases, articles and brochures.

Creatively? I JUST FINISHED THE NOVEL I'VE MADE MYSELF INSANE OVER FOR THE LAST 11 MONTHS(!), and 1/4 through a second... I wrote "I'm committed to finishing the longer one before the end of September in between campaigns a couple of weeks ago" But shucks n golly, I beat my own fucking deadline. Now I hope to have a readable draft of both before the end of September. Why not?

More? I live in a haunted house and besides work, play and kids, it's hard not to become burnt out on exploding mirrors and dead animals. Oh, and an update: exploding light fixture with flames that went through glass. Extra new update! Dead cat showed up on the middle of the carpet in the studio. It looked asleep to me, but, obviously not. yeah, yeah, I know. It's pretty damn punk rock around here. PARIS BITTER HEARTS PIT is out and I have some new work there. I know where to get it in Paris - Shakespeare and Co. Maybe Powells in P-Town. Check em out. Independent lit mags are important to the salvation of the human race.
Feel free to peruse my BLOG if you get the chance- Who Doesn't like reading about little kids torturing animal gods, people with the hots for city buses, kinky psychotics and escaping murderous book characters. I haven't been posting much, but there's quite a lot of back story if you dig around. Some of it's clips from my previously mentioned novel.

Like a Humiliated Kite

The Orgasmic Washing Machine Band

The washing machine in the kitchen clicked to the extra fast spin cycle. Mooshing and headbanging along to the rhythm of whirling gray water, my bed thunked against the wall in a steady back beat. As...

And the Word Became Flesh.

At least it appears as if there has to be a first time for everything. Even for stories that seem as if they have been true forever. Even a first time for the story of the magician, the magician who w...

Fuck Arthur Hart

A story that come trues after you hear it, or read it or think of it is in no way unique to the tortured magician discussed in the blog below. It happens to lots of stories pretty often- think of Cind...
