I don’t think it’s really that cool to recommend your own book or beg people to read it in like, the Amazon.com forums and whatnot. I’ll beg you to read my book, sure, but here on my OWN blog. I also sorta kinda think it’s a little bit ewww to use your author bio to [...]

Today’s To Do: clean off desk my office pack for the NINC conference in St. Louis prepare all flight information, hotel, etc. for NINC clean kitchen shower (maybe that should be first) clean everything else make dinner Hmm, I don’t see “write” anywhere on that list, but guess what, I finished the draft of my [...]
Hmm. What do you think this is? I’m going to guess Stranger. Can’t wait to see the cover. I’m going to guess that this is Stranger in French. Yay! M
It’s due out October 6th, 2009. Yep, that’s in…13 days! I bet you’ll see it appearing in the wild before then, too, sometimes that happens. But for right now, you can pre-order it here! Or from Barnes and Noble.com And if you’re so inclined, an excerpt. Interestingly, the cover art’s changed slightly. I wonder if [...]
I’ve successfully added about 13,000 words to my manuscript — one word at a time. Don’t laugh, BBs — I mean one word or two words per sentence at a time, a few longer sentences here and there. But overall it’s been cut three, add one, add another, cut a few more. This is grueling. [...]

Pardon me, there is no team, nothing but a delicious Eric/Bill sammich please and thankya. Also almost finished with Jericho and season two of the new Dr. Who. And Heroes starts up again tomorrow [...]

I sort of think if I’d started this book from scratch it might be taking me less time than what I’m doing which is basically ripping apart every sentence, word by word, and revising. Yikes. Even so, [...]
Read this. As in click the link to an article I’m linking to, right here. Look, I have downloaded music from Limewire, a long time ago. I didn’t know better. I was a douchebag. I’ve since deleted those songs AND nine times out of ten, purchased them again from legitimate sources because I want to [...]
In the car last night: son: “what’s a gay nose?” me: “…you mean a nosegay?” son: “a gay nose. You know, a bouquet thing.” me: “…that’s a nosegay.” son: “no, it’s a gay nose!” daughter: “no, a gay nose is a nose that only likes other boy noses” Me: “what if it’s a girl?” son: [...]
