We tend to think of a book as something to keep pristine. I have plenty of books I keep this way, without even a dog-ear or pencil mark. Lately, I've been experimenting with bringing my books into the world where life happens: into the mud, river, and sand. And you know what? They hold up, and I... Read more of this blog post »

I was asked on goodreads to write a two-sentence horror story. Here it is! Do you like horror stories? Why, or why not?

Christmas is my favorite time of the year. It's the one time of the year that I feel wishes can come true, and what better way to enjoy the season than curled up in front of a fire reading a heartwarming story?

“Write a Christmas story? Never! Humbug!”

This was the cynical and grumpy voice of my ‘Storyteller of Christmas Past’. And now, a few years later, I can still empathise with this gripe. After all, I’m allergic to tinsel and I loathe raisins, plastic tablecloths, and stocking fillers (especially th... Read more of this blog post »

I have a weakness for used books--what reader doesn't?--and a debilitating weakness for used books about Paris: if I see one, it will not go unbought.

Ever have a moment when dream-destroying words sledgehammer you flat? I’m guessing most of us do.

Three years ago, I stumbled toward a New York City subway, reeling from a publisher’s verdict that “environmentally themed fiction is the kiss of death.”

Overheard in the Asylum

I can’t see them,
But I know they’re there.
A thousand points of hunger,
Creeping through the shadows,
Questing for scraps of satisfaction.
