The Lies We Tell Our Children
Quick note: October will be ghost story blogging time. Get ready for it and feel free to email me or 'comment' suggestions. I shall shamelessly pander to reader requests.
Quick note 2: Buffalo Soldiers is at 50,000 words. Yep.
The blog....
A friend of mine recently launched into an explanation about how she can't sleep because her daughter wakes up three times a night, comes into her room, and in a sleep-zombie-like coma, grabs her face and lays her head on the bed while still standing. She is convinced it isn't a sleep walk as I suggested being armed with very little facts. So she told her daughter that if she sleeps in her bed the whole night through, then the Sleep Fairy will visit and leave a treat.
Well, mother knows best and it apparently worked. Now her daughter sleeps the night through and checks each morning for a new piece of candy. Day five of this brought a repeat of day numero uno's treat. According to the parent, this resulted in the candy being placed on the counter with a huff of disappointment. "I don't know what do," she said. "This might not hold up and I will have to find another lie to keep her in bed the whole night through."
This got me thinking...
We lie to children all the time. It isn't merely a trick, or something done only to keep up mystical appearances. I think it is a cultural habit. Don't get me wrong, I fully intend on lying to my future child as well, but it really is accepted practice. At what age is it wrong to lie? Is it only wrong to lie when all parties involved in the conversation are mentally sound enough to see through the lie? Under that logic is it okay to lie if the other party never suspects? Is it okay to tell a story...
Top Lies I Uncovered As A Child
1) Duh. Santa didn't exist. I found this out at my mother's house because I hid in her closet during a game of hide and seek and found a toy gun. Said gun was then either re-gifted by the jolly fat man or it was a lie! His name was certainly on it.
His slave workforce needs to be fed too doesn't it?
2) Easter Bunny. I walked out of my room in a sleep-zombie-like coma and saw my older brother and mother stuffing baskets with candy. I inquired. I was told the Easter Bunny was sick. That didn't hold water even at my fragile age. (No it was not last year...not that I would admit to you anyway)
Ha! I know how you feel kid. I felt the same way when I found out...
3) Tooth Fairy. I felt your hand go under my pillow Dad. You might want to invest in ninja stealth courses...or dispense with the charade and just give me cold hard cash. I say cold and hard because you only gave me a quarter. Cheap-o.
I got the same letter! Only those were REAL teeth Dad!
What lies did YOU uncover as a child? I would love to hear some of them..post below so we can make fun of you for being a sucker! :)

For Nothing Movie Adaptation Update / Preview
I thought some of you might be interested in the latest news about For Nothing. As some of you know, the story is being reworked into a screenplay by the talented Welshman, Thomas Humphreys.
Thomas, who has fought through breaking his wrist, has been working diligently to try and get this disaster into top screenplay form. It means a ton that he believes in the work enough to undertake the monumental task of parsing a 300 page story into about a 100 page screenplay. But to break your wrist and still find ways to work on the project, that is dedication my friends.
For example, I was once hungover and so did not write a word.
At any rate, Thomas and I had a bet as to who would finish first: me on the sequel Buffalo Soldiers or him on adapting For Nothing into a screenplay. Since he broke his wrist he is at a serious disadvantage at the moment. As I round the 60-65% complete mark, who knows where Thomas is on this adaptation...
But alas! Thomas does, and has sent us a preview of the screenplay!
Thanks Mr. Humphreys. That actually got my adrenaline going. How exciting! Though I feel safely ahead...for the moment.

All About Context My Dear
Context is an amazing device. It lends back story to individual sentences and has the unique ability to keep us from sounding equal parts ignorant, ridiculous, or just plain confusing. For instance, I recently wrote about my Google history being somewhat scary sounding. In fact it was ripe for an FBI search of my home.
Consider:
- Detonator
- Fertilizer
- FBI protocol
- Properties of acid
- Violent chemical compounds
This combination is enough to make me seem quite mad. Fortunately, if big brother really is watching, they know I am writing a novel. "I AM WRITING A NOVEL," I call out to my smoke detectors on my ceiling. Yeah sure...smoke detectors.
So the context matters in this case to make sure I don't get arrested.
Why am I thinking of all of this? The reason is because I was contemplating a few of the various actions this past week and I am pretty sure that if I just list them out there would be a whole new layer of eccentricity. So without providing context here are a few highlights:
1. Did the "reeling in a fish" dance; partner included.
We did a way better job than these jokers though.
2. Ate pizza at three am. This proceeded tears from somebody (not me) and preceded the same person's attempts at stealing construction cones. Relax he (or she?) didn't steal them.
3. Sang the song "Fuck You" in a crowded place (not me I am amazing). Then played the tambourine because the singing was so off....
No image, video, or audio. Thank God.

Writing, Drinking and Saved By The Bell?
Apparently I have the ability to fall off of the face of the earth at times. As a writer, I lock myself in my office and go through a methodical process of shutting everyone in my life out so I can spend time with my imaginary friends. When the clamoring gets too loud, I make time for my family and friends and quietly admonish myself to find more time to walk amongst the living.
I am always happy when I do.
This weekend, to the detriment of my novel's progress I went with family and friends on a day time Saturday barhop along St. Pete Beach. I got some sun, forgot about dieting, ate some chicken wings, had a few brews, and told quite a few jokes. All in all it was a good time. I'd do it again. Just not tomorrow.
Tonight, tomorrow, and the rest of this week will be me playing catch up. My WIP (work in progress) stands at just past 30,000 words. I MUST MUST MUST get to 40,000 by this weekend.
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.
Speaking of Thomas the Tank Engine, I wonder if my niece even knows about the wonders of that story.... I am unsure where and how deep generational gaps go. I work with a few younger twenty somethings and they barely know about Saved By The Bell and my A.C. Slater and Zack Morris references fall on deaf ears more times than not.
Maybe if I had some of what she has, I could finish this manuscript faster....
Haha. Just kidding children. This is how I really feel about drugs...
Have a safe and drug free Tuesday!

A Tale of a Gollum, A Book, and an Interview
Let's get business out of the way first. Thank you for everyone buying, promoting, reviewing and loving (of course) For Nothing. The response, which I owe to all of you, has been amazing. I am working on the sequel and am nearing the end of the first act of that book (roughly one third of the way done). Sorry that it takes a bit away from my blogging, but I will make a better effort to update.
That being said, there was an awesome interview done with me and the awesome reviewer and writer Cambria Hebert. We cover such fun facts as: Do I wear boxers or briefs? Would I rather be a werewolf or a vampire? Find out that and more in my interview with Cambria Hebert here.
As you may have read, my brother Chris and I wake up at 5:30 am these days in order to go to the gym in order to get our pump on. These wonderful excursions to the gym have led me to compile a few things I have wondered while working out.
1) Hey guy, is the grunt that important? Not the little grunt, the one that makes all the ladies give you a wide berth in case you're really a roided rapist?
2) How do I take my boxers off to get in the shower with out ruining everybody's day?
3) How do I get them back on? (I have solved this issue by wearing my towel like a kilt and going up and under).
4) I can't believe the gym is so packed that early. I said to Chris, "People that come to the gym this early are really serious about their work out." He replied, "And then there is us." In between bites of my two power Twinkies I asked, "What do you mean?"
5) It is amazing how body's react differently to the same work out. Case and point, Chris works out the same as me...he even does a few more reps than I do. But look at the differences in how we are shaping up:
Me getting my svelte on...I grew those mountains myself.
VS
He is looking more tan though
Ok guys and gals that's it for now. Enjoy you weekend!!

Now this is how you pump iron!
Well I put the challenge out there to my lovely fans (really just friends and family more likely than not) to help me reach 400 'LIKES" on Facebook.
The terms?
A signed copy of For Nothing mailed out by your favorite author (better be me) to a random fan who liked my page during that run to 400.
Who won? I knew you would ask. Stay tuned for the answer later tonight.
In writing news, I am trying to hit 25,000 words tonight on For Nothing's sequel. Buffalo Soldiers is scheduled to go out October 15th and I need to really focus like a laser beam on that deadline.
In personal news, my brother and I are doing this diet workout thing that sucks. My dinner tonight is a fruit smoothie and starting on Monday we will be waking up three days a week at 5:30 am to workout before our day jobs.
Crap. Whose idea was this anyway??
I suppose it's okay though because we might eventually look like this guy and have the same ...er... feelings... towards the effects.
It's funny I suppose but when I work out I always take it to another level. Apparently I can't do anything half way. This is a home video of me teaching Chris how to properly train:
ENJOY!!!

Movies Based on Comics Are Taking Me For Granted and Why Shouldn't They?
The weekend is usually a good time to relax and rinse away the rigor of the work week. But every so often you have so much to do or have so much fun that you are actually more tired on Monday than you were on Friday.
That is pretty much how I feel today.
I had a going away dinner for my brother Rob who is becoming a Customs Border Patrol officer on Friday. So the evening was full of good food and drinks as we toasted him a farewell before he leaves for months of training and then to wherever they decide to place him. It was a good time and you can't help but be happy for someone who gets something they have been working towards for a good long while. But part of you is also sad to see them go.
Four of us brothers lived here in the greater Tampa Bay area just three short months ago, but now only two of us remain.
Ah, the price of growing up and moving on.
So in good Denmon fashion, we hid our feelings behind a wall of booze and laughter and on Sunday I watched Captain America in honor of my brother Rob who is probably going to keep a few of the worlds bad apples away from American soil. The movie was decent, enjoyable even. But I think I might have been distracted through the entirety of the film by a PREVIEW.
Another damned Spider-Man movie? Really?? Even worse, it seems to be the retelling of the story from the beginning, from the spider bite, sans Toby Maguire. How many times must I suffer Hollywood's lack of creativity?
Some guy named Garfield who is a new Spider-Man
Oh well. I will probably see it and help perpetuate the notion that retreads are a good idea when it comes to lining pockets versus actually coming up with something new. Captain America, despite this distraction, was a fun film and the Avengers movies are going to make a boatload of money. They already have, but wait until they all join forces in one movie in 2012.
My brother Rob standing strong at the border.
Other than that, I got into some scotch and cigars in order celebrate my buddy Craig's engagement to long time sweetheart Stacey. His parents always throw great parties and this was no exception. If you happened to show up, I was the guy hanging out by the meatballs and the aforementioned scotch.
He is getting married in March so I need to find the best place to rent a donkey for his bachelor party...
The donkey show from Jay and Silent Bob
On the writing front, I am about 17,500 words into the sequel to For Nothing. Buffalo Soldiers is really coming along and I think everyone who read For Nothing will love where I am taking the Upstate New York Mafia Tales. Here's to hoping!
Cheers!

Treasure Hunt Blog Hop Winners!
Well they say when you want to bury a body you should bring along a shovel and a few bags of lime. The gangsters who follow this blog know what I'm talking about and I am pretty sure a few of this month's contest winners were in on the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance.
Essential Gangster Supplies
Quite a few people entered the contest and went on the search for Jimmy Hoffa's body, and by the activity on this blog, my Fanpage, and on Goodreads - a fair amount of holes were dug in the wilderness hoping to solve the mystery of his resting place. But in good mafia fashion those of you who know where he is, kept your mouths shut. A book apparently wasn't enough to bribe you into ratting on your fellow Denmon Familia members (by the way that was a suggestion for the name of those who follow my blog and fanpage etc and I think I like it! What do you think?)
But since I am the Don in this enterprise only a select few of you get a cut of this month's take. Your participation, as always, was amazing but there are winners and there are losers and the winners for this month's blog hop are as follows:
Electronic Book copy of For Nothing
J. Barrett
HeatherC8
Nikki aka Sherri McCarver
Nathiel
Helen Seely
I have already emailed you so please email me if you did not get your coupon code
As for the GRAND PRIZE WINNER of a SIGNED AUTOGRAPHED COPY of FOR NOTHING:
Super Gangster....
Extraordinaire...
Fan-tastic member of the Denmon Familia (will it stick?)...
SONIA REMO aka Momma Elk!!
Sonia please email at nicholasdenmon08@gmail.com to collect your prize. I will need your mailing address!
For the rest of you, there really are no losers, because it was fun wasn't it? And there just might be another contest NEXT month! So how bout that?
Of course you can always buy a copy of the book if you are impatient. Check out my website HERE and click the book cover to buy it!
