Anyone out there watch South Park? One of the things I’ve been doing lately in order to avoid doing any real work (or blogging, for that matter) is visiting local schools and talking about how I “became” a writer. The idea, of course, is to help educate any aspiring authors out there, as well as offer up examples […]

My brother William (no known relation to William Wallace) asked me the other day if I was aware that Mel Gibson’s Braveheart had recently been released in high-definition Blu-ray video format. I wasn’t, largely because I don’t own a Blu-ray player. Nor do I plan on ever buying one (long story). However, everyone who knows

Here’s a link to another write-up about the RMFW conference. No, I’m not just mentioning it because the writer, Jenni Holbrook, happens to say nice things about me, but because it talks about what aspiring writers (and even professional ones) can expect to take away from such events.

I’m home from a trip to Denver, where I was invited to be one of the guest speakers at this year’s Colorado Gold Writers Conference, courtesy of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. I hadn’t heard of either the organization or its conference prior to the invitation — an admission that seemed to offend some of
Anyone do anything exciting for the holiday weekend? I’m just returning from a brief visit to Oregon… something I’m reluctant to admit.

I’m no party animal. I rarely drink alcohol; I’m a sissy when it comes to staying up late; and if I’m going to be socializing, I prefer to do it over card games, video games, or some other activity so I can feel like I’m maximizing my time. Clubs are even worse, for my tastes, because they

So, about the movie. I loved it. I can’t claim to be a fan of slasher films, per se. Part of that is because my parents did their best to shelter me from such vile influences while growing up, meaning that I never had a chance to gain a proper appreciation for Michael Myers, Jason
