Book Trailer Project

Recently, I’ve been working on somewhat of an experiment. I did a book trailer for Heart of the Ronin once upon a time with my good friend Neil Witkin. It turned out beautifully, but this time I wanted to do something different, something unexpected a little askew for Rogues of the Black Fury. A couple of long trains of [...]

Author Interview – Joe R. Lansdale

About four years ago, I launched this blog into an author interview project that included interviews with over sixty working authors at various stages of their careers. One of the things I learned from this project is just how many authors out there are darn fine, gracious people. I also learned a lot about how [...]
