About this author

The Dr. Reverend Lance Carbuncle was born sometime during the last millennium and he’s been getting bigger, older and uglier ever since. Carbuncle is an ordained minister with the Church of Spiritual Humanism. Carbuncle doesn’t eat deviled eggs and he doesn’t drink cheap beer. Carbuncle doesn’t wear sock garters. Carbuncle does tell stories. Carbuncle’s stories are channeled through a pathetic little man who has to work a respectable job during the days in order to feed the infestation of children in his house. Carbuncle's first novel, Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed, and his recently released Grundish and Askew are sold through Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com. More reviews of Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewe...more

I recommend rubbing some Vick's Vaporub on your upper lip to mask the smell, too.


Foxthyme Okay, preparation in the works. Rubber gloves. Strong soap. Essential oil air cleaner. Rubber boots. I've just ordered Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed. If it's anything like Grundish and Askew, I need to be ready for it!


message 51: by Tiffie

Tiffie Thank you very much for the invite =)
FYI, I´m a girl (it´s because of the glasses, isn´t it? yeah, I see how that can be confusing... actually I only ever wear them when I intend to look/feel smart... and that usually only works as long as I keep my mouth shut or until my clumsiness takes over)

I have my third book, Sloughing Off the Rot, just about ready to go. It will be out before the end of the year. I'm glad you're enjoying my work.


Foxthyme You are a brain tattooist!


Foxthyme Hey,

Checking in. Wondering if you are writing a new scatological tale at the moment? I am up for reading Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed, but I have to prepare mentally! Then I will plunge in.

You really do write unforgettable stuff.

message 31: by William

William C. Thank you for the random add, and I will be picking up your book as it does seem to be in my tastes.

Just a random question. I'm fairly into psychology theories... actually anything that theoretical and at least has some logic (Hates Astrology). I'm an ENTP, and was wondering if you were too? I'm just noticing it by the way you write.

:D Anyways, I just woke up so I'm sounding dull.


Bárbara I wish I could read your books, they seem like real fun, but they're not available in Portugal :( maybe in a couple of years.

Also, within the next couple of months, Vicious Books is releasing my next novel, Grundish and Askew. Please let me know what you think if you get the chance to check out my books.

message 6: by Noran

Noran Miss Pumkin funny thing, while I was working the 12 hours trenches of ER, over the three day holiday weekend- i was thinking about your book, and how witty a premise it was. My brother has had two hounds, and they were quite the characters! :) Thanks for the invite!


Brigid *Flying Kick-a-pow!* thanx for the add. ;D


Marcus The world is anxiously awaiting Grundish and Askew...if it's half as good as Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed it'll be twice as good as most books I've read in the last few years.
