Writing is hard, hard work, but when you hold that book in your hands and you realize there's something new in the world and it has your name on the cover, it's the greatest feeling outside of mind-blowing sex with someone you truly love, or a hot pastrami sandwich on rye.

Coming off being off the grid

I needed a break. Putting out two books in a year was serious business. Life, responsibilities, a complete reorganization at work and most cruelly, the unexpected death of my best friend, collaborator, comrade in arms, fellow punster and all around great guy, Paul Littlehale, passed away over the 4th of July weekend. I was the one who found him with the police during a welfare check after his work Read more of this blog post »
