Day of Birth
•
My birthday is fast approaching, and I usually make some sort of introspective post about aging and my motivation to keep doing this. You know, kind of navel-gazing type stuff. This year, I thought I’d skip all that and instead write something fun and just for me. No trying to…

Being a Media Trash Goblin Is a Full Time Job
•
Now don’t let that last post give you any untoward ideas. Horror isn’t all I consume–just 90% of it. The remaining 10% is pretty diverse, but 50% of it is garbage. 70%… OK, 90%. 1. LOVE. Watching TRASH. And I’m not talking subjective trash what you can bluff your way out…

What’s In a Name?
•

GIVEAWAY ENTRY POST
•
This isn’t narcissism, I swear, though it’s going to sound a lot like it. It’s not a self-congratulatory pat on the back, but I have to ask… What’s your favorite part from one of my books? Last year around this time, I had a giveaway, wanting to give out something…
