No way! Look! Its me!

That’s not my car. Not exactly sure what I’m doing in this picture. I think I’m wondering why I can’t grow a beard and instead get that wiry, irregular stuff. Anyway, stuff on the horizon and all of it good. In Deadbomb Bingo Ray news, I’ll be signing books at the-

with special guest Gigi Little ( at Powell’s). Fun stuff. In other news, good pal Tom Hildreth and I met with Bill MacGoldrich at SyFy/USA about Lune, the television adaptation of my novel Everything Under The Moon.

Here we are in Maine in front of this giant haunted place. Tom is a fantastic actor and an oddly effective producer. Sadly, when someone tells you they’re a producer, your first reaction should be to tazer them in the mouth or spray them with RAID for yellow jackets and run. Tom stands out because he’s not only the real deal, but there’s no blood in his eyes. He’s a contributing producer instead of the much more common skimming producer. Anyway, fun times. I got my own badge to enter the Universal COMCAST building and I put it in my wallet in the transparent flap so I can flash it like a confusing Fed badge. We make our own fun.

We have now entered the edge of the Holiday Season! A few books I’d like to suggest for the gift giving season. They are-

The Twilight Pariah – Jeffrey Ford

This book will freak your shit out. I loved it. One of the best reads of the year. Almost anything I say about it will be a spoiler, so you’ll just have to trust me. Read the back flap. I’ve been following Ford’s work for years and he’s rare in so many ways. Check him out.

Astoria: Astor and Jefferson’s Lost Pacific Empire: A Tale of Ambition and Survival on the Early American Frontier – Peter Stark

This is a great read no matter where you live, but as an Oregonian I found it riveting. The founding of Astoria was a crazy fuckin’ disaster, and Stark, reliably good, paints a clear picture of it. The most insane thing about this book is that its been adapted into a play. And that play is supposed to be really good!
