The day job continues feral, with a forecast of extreme feral for the next month or thereabouts (mostly courtesy customer schedules). This probably corresponds to a Kate-fried level permanently in the ‘illegal in 90% of the world’ range. Those who know what my sense of humor does when I’m that fried understand. We’re talking entendre Read More…

Voices in the Dark
As Sarah Hoyt so eloquently described in her blog, writers chase the voices in the dark: the shadows between madness and the bright light of day where the realms of stories can be found. It’s not a coincidence that assorted creatures of Other – in every culture I’ve studied, I might add – are said Read More…
Dancing in the Shadows of Madness
It’s something of a truism that writers are eccentric at best, and for most of the writers I know this is a rather mild description. Me, I’m held together by a concoction of the best psychoactive drugs the pharmaceutical industry can charge a fortune for, so I’m not exactly the token normal person here. Eric Read More…
Sunday Pot-Pourri
Another crazy week this week, although I’m a little more rested than usual after a 3 day weekend instead of the usual 2. I’d like to find whoever cursed me with being the responsible one and have a little “chat” with them. Progress towards the print edition of Impaler continues. It might feel glacial to Read More…
Sunday Pot-Pourri
RavenCon was wonderful – I’m making plans to be back there next year. I also booked Philcon and Capclave for this year. With any luck I can build myself a circuit of conventions that are close enough to drive to and let me make a fool of myself in public often enough that people know Read More…
Impaler is here!
Impaler is published. It’s currently available from Amazon’s Kindle Store and from my publisher, Naked Reader Press. Other ebook stores will follow, and there will be a print edition as well. It’s been an interesting journey, and it’s hard to believe that this stage is almost over. The next stage, of course, is selling the Read More…
Sunday Pot-pourri
This has been a week of convention recovery: after getting back home from Lunacon on Monday, I’ve spent most of the time getting my brain working again. No new wordage, but I’m 3/4 of the way through a detailed pass on a novel – I LOVE my Kindle! Reading the piece on the kindle feels Read More…
Lunaconned
I’ve been back from LunaCon for several days now, although it feels a lot longer. Work will do that to you. It was a great convention despite some interesting issues with double-booking and a programming team scrambling to keep from getting too behind (apparently they lost their programming database 2 months before the convention – Read More…
Sunday Pot-pourri
Interesting week. On the work front, lurched straight into the next major project while doing cleanup and trying to track down a customer problem that so far hasn’t been reproduced in house from the previous projects. Also much meeping over the LunaCon program. It’s the best schedule I’ve ever had for a con, and I’m Read More…
Lunacon Schedule
I have my tentative schedule for Lunacon next week! Friday 5pm – Reading Saturday 6pm – Invisible Collaborator or Paid Fanfiction – I’m in stellar company here, with Ginjer Buchanan and Bob Greenberger. Saturday 7pm – Dracula vs Undead Porn – Ginjer Buchanan (she’ll think I’m stalking her), Chuck Rothman and KT Pinto. Sunday 1pm Read More…
