Tea Cup Cujo

Today is the first day of the BLOGSHORTS: a ten day, ten story, 110 word writing extravaganza. Each participating blogger chooses a pooch a day from a list of dogs, thunk-up by our fearless leader, BLOGDRAMEDY, and then writes a short story featuring their dog of choice. Each story is 110 words in length and […]

BLOGSHORTS: The Dog Days of Summer

The legendary  BLOGDRAMEDY has come up with the perfect mental diversion she’s calling BLOGSHORTS: a ten day, ten story, 110 word canine-centric writing extravaganza. How does that work, you wonder? Let’s ask Blogdramedy: I’ve select nine dogs (a mixed breed of real and imaginary barkers) and you write a story of 110 words around each […]

Hawaiian SPaM

Reblogged from H.E. ELLIS: Break out the Sex Wax and Longboards because today's featured SPaM is blogworld's own personal Moondoggie. When he's not waxing poetic about Harry Potter in Limerick form he's listening to music or hanging ten down in NYC. Make way for the very handsome...EL GUAPO!!!! The interview was conducted with me wearing […]

The Hunt for From History's Shadow begins!

Reblogged from The Fog of Ward: We're just over a week away from the "official" publication date for my new novel, From History's Shadow. The date, July 30th, is more for the computers and ordering systems than anything else, as most mass-market paperbacks don't have set release dates. Basically, they're available whenever the bookseller gets […]

ConnectiCon!

Not only was the day I met Neil Gaiman one of the best days of my life, but it was the first half of what may have been the best weekend ever. That is because I spent the very next day rubbing elbows with some of the most die-hard fans ever to converge in one place- […]

Close Encounter – Neil Gaiman

I’ll admit that it’s been a while since I’ve visited blogworld, but this time I have a good reason: I met Neil Gaiman. That’s right; I met honest to goodness Neil Gaiman at a book signing for his latest creation: THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE I, along with about 100 other lucky […]

An Open Letter To Ellen DeGeneres

Reblogged from You've Been Hooked!: Dearest Ellen, Hello. How are you? That's great to hear, seriously. Listen, I know you've got a full plate in front of you right now (Okay, maybe not literally; you don't look like you eat that much, to be honest. However, I stand by the statement.), especially considering how many […]
