I talk a lot about Halloween movie marathons, Halloween toys, Halloween candy, and all manner of Autumn festivities, but I often neglect to mention horror stories. It’s a shame, really, that a horror writer would forget to discuss my scary stories and novels one could devour like a ravenous zombie during this, the most haunted […]

Happy October! Oh yes. After nearly two months of anticipation, the big month has finally arrived. We’ve celebrated every celebrate-able moment of the season: the harvest moon, the autumnal equinox, the first day we spotted a leaf changing color, the first day we spotted Halloween items in a store… Of course we have to celebrate

This Halloween season has been the best I can remember in years, and it isn’t even October yet. There’s an embarrassment of riches occupying shelf space at the local shops, and of those many, toe-curling products, the one garnering the most publicity is the collection of Monster Cereals from General Mills.

COMING SOON BLOG HOP I was invited by the amazing Ben Eads to participate in the COMING SOON BLOG HOP, so here I am, about to participate. The concept is that I answer some questions about my writing and agenda so you, my wary fans, know what I’ve been up to. So, here we go! What

It’s 2013, and I haven’t posted here since October. I’ll admit, it was partly due to negligence, but mostly, I was burned out. It was the end of a two-month long blog tour (one that became increasingly disappointing in turnout and response), and I was more than ready to quit marketing my novel. I had given it my

Continuing with my random editions of “So-And-So is Awesome,” today I tell you that Jorge Garcia is awesome. But you probably knew that already. A few months ago, while browsing Mr. Garcia’s blog, I noticed he accepts fan mail, and–quite graciously I might add–sends out autographed photos to those who request it. Being the peculiar

It’s late, and I need to sleep, but something is nagging at me. This blog has changed, and I’m not sure it’s for the better. Every now and then I check statcounter, a website that tracks page views on your website. Just now, I clicked a link to a page someone had discovered through Google, and found
