About Me

..
I'm a writer of short stories, which are the kind your English teacher assigned you to read over the weekend and which are the easiest to pretend you read on Monday. Someday I'll try to write a whole book, but that's scary. Like Jaws. If you're interested, here's a running tab of my writing credits:
Stickhead - MudRock: Stories and Tales ; Vol 4/Issue 2, Spring/summer 2006
That Old Sandlands Fever - Apex Digest ; Issue 7, Fall 2006
Through the Many Corridors - Pseudopod ; #19, 05 Jan 2007.
Come to my Arms my Beamish Boy - Murky Depths ; Issue 1
Neat, huh? A short list, yeah, but a nice one.
Please take a look at my website. It's finally up!

I am married to an amazing lady. You'd like her. She's a real looker.

Day 1 (Thursday, June 12th)Strange stuff always seems to happen to me the day before I make a con appearance. When I went to Horrorfind for the first time, I initially went to the wrong airport ...

iconoclasts are lazy bastards.

Self-publishing is not a revolution. Using PoD technology to get awful looking copies of your unreadable horror novel does not make you a genre iconoclast. The publishing industry works t...

2008 Writing Year in Preview

Maurice Broaddus is a more centered man than I. And does not, I believe, give himself enough credit. Guy sold as many shorts in a year as I have sold since I started writing. Oh...

The amount of time I spent on this is really ridiculous

Don't hate me. It's frightening how easy replicating my wardrobe really is. What's even more frightening is how easy it is to replicate my living room. EDIT: I should add that this...

A Black Friday Request

Random Observations

Why in the name of a sweet holy Christ, or any Christ for that matter, let's say a butt-fucking quasi-retarded Christ, would any country hire a defense contractor called Blackwater? That's a fuc...

Taking off my writer pants and putting on my fanboy ski-mask

Allow me to wax Wizard Magazinesque (lol wut?) for just a second here. Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' books are something of a fanboy obsession of mine. I love every part of them, right from ...
