New Gil Logo!

Hello Dear Readers!

Happy New Years!  We over here at Gil's Grimoire want to bring in this new year 2015 with a little piece of news.  We're happy to introduce a new Zeros logo, designed by our resident artist extraordinaire Dean Kotz:
Yes, it is great.  A rendition of Gil's Yorrick skull with a nail through the eye is exactly what Gil would want on his Ghostbusters jump suit.  If left to his own devices, I know Gil would love to have custom uniforms (Finch and Dylan are ano...

Happy Christmas [et al]!

Hello dear readers,

This is your loyal author checking in from the not-quite-so-Arctic city of Philadelphia.  Christmas eve was a balmy 60 degrees here in the City of Brotherly Love, but the temperature is dropping.

I'm just checking in send my best holiday wishes from me and the gang.  Whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Festivus, or Flying Spaghettin Monster Day (?), give everyone love and (to quote Jerry Springer) take care of yourselves... and each other.

Happy Holidays from...

Happy Holidays!

Evenin' Dear Reader,
I won't bore you with endless apologies as to my absence.  It's not that I don't have excuses, of course I have excuses.  Excuses are easy.
I have excuses, but not good excuses.  Not really.  If you've slipped out of your urban fantasy genre confines to explore the wacky world of Brick Brannigan (first of all, THANK YOU, CITIZEN!), then you'll be delighted to hear that I've been putting my effort into polishing off the second volume of the projected tril...

Finishing Touches

Evenin' Ladies and Gents,

Your loyal author here, checking in before I turn on a movie and fall asleep early (what else does one do on a Friday night?).

Draft #1 and #1.5 of The Zeros and The Season of The Witch are finished, and now begins the never-ending TYPO SNIPE phase.  Hey, don't give me that look, the writing phase didn't take too long.  God knows there are plenty typos, though, the main drawback of typing 80 words/minute and not looking back.

In addition to editing,...

Novella News

Howdy Pardners,

So I was doing quite well on The Zeros and The Empirical Evidence of Stars, chugging along, cruising to chapter 15 when I hit a bit of a snag: this is infinitely more complicated than The Library of Doom! or The Man Who Could Not Die.  I'm sorting details, doing research (historical!), and trying to get ducks in nice lil rows.  The problem is, that's slowed down the writing process drastically.

So while that's happening, I figured I'd put my nose to the grindstone...

Hey, Why Not?

Evenin' ladies and gents,

I was at work today and I got to thinking. Sometimes I do this. Sometimes it's even about constructive things. Today is just one such example. Recently I've been scrutinizing this whole ebook price thing.  Today I realized that the price was inconsequential as far as I was concerned.

I write because I love to do it.  Why else do it?  I doubt I'll ever get famous doing this, and that's okay.  I like to do it.  So why am I going crazy worryi...

CHEAPER

All right, in a fit of inexplicable generosity, I have lowered the price of the new novel, THE ZEROS AND THE MAN WHO COULD NOT DIE, to a barely noticeable $2.99.  Did you buy it yet?

No?  NO?!?

Well, perhaps you should partake of the ebook now!  Coffee at Starbucks costs more than $2.99!

Enjoy the book, and enjoy some of this choice grammar!
