Some Kind of River

Darlings! Guess what?

No, not that.

How about this? I've published the new, and improved novelette, "Some Kind of River" on Kindle. $0.99, baby.

Go get some.

Kung Fu Panda

I dig this movie. Just thought I'd post the random-ness for you.

Dustin Hoffman as the kung fu master is seriously awesome.

Matter of Blood wins an award

Wooo! I'm pleased and honored to announce that the second book in my space opera series, the Far Seek Chronicles, won a Rainbow Award. That would be a Matter of Blood.

The Situation Room has the scoop.

Read this guy's blog

This is Benjamin Buchholz, who served in Iraq.

From a Huffpo piece on him, this is what he's about:

I hope that my writing about these very personal experiences and frustrations captures a sense of farther-reaching dislocation and wonder, as well as a convincing and unbiased amount of cultural nuance.
source: HuffPo piece linked above

Here's the link to his blog, called "Not Quite Right."

See what Superman 1, Action Comics, just sold for.

That bites.

Woman arrested in Denver for "biting people." As in, attacking their necks like she was all Twilight-ed or something.

Creepy, yes, but the cop statement was amusing.

Read it here.

Statement from the local vampire hive: "We have no knowledge of this woman's activities and, in fact, we resent the efforts of these poseurs to appropriate our culture. We will not be colonized. Please visit our Free the Fang website."
