How’s My Hair? reading
Yep, two readings in the same week. This time in a bookstore, which in theory would be a very different crowd than the inebriants populating Czar Bar a couple nights before, but I hope I can still count on you guys to help us keep things loose. And yes, three of the same blokes are ...
Flashover out in paperback!
It’s here, y’all. Last week I posted about my new novel, Flashover, and its e-book release. Today sees the paperback edition on sale via Amazon and CreateSpace. I’m so excited to finally be able to share this with the world, over three years in the writing. All the buy links are below, p-books and e-books. ...
$@!# Authors Say (and play)
Come downtown and enjoy some double-threat entertainment from yours truly and friends at this reading and music event. We stage these at bars whenever possible to encourage more raucous audiences, as well as the loosened morality that alcohol enables. For the participants, too, because a shot of Jameson can help calm the nerves when you’re ...
Flashover e-books on sale
For you digital adopters, an early release of my new novel, Flashover, is now available for Kindle and Nook at $5.99. The paperback will be out next month at the usual online shops, and I’ll hook up a PayPal for those who want to order signed copies directly. Between now and then, I’ll be ramping ...
Noir Reading and Pics
Now that my liver and brain cells have had a chance to regenerate after the AWP conference in Chicago, here’s an update to the event I previously posted about that took place in St. Louis the night before that excursion. The incredibly gracious Jed Ayres and Scott Phillips hosted the most recent incarnation of “Noir ...
Andrez Bergen Interview
I recently had a chance to throw some questions at Andrez Bergen, the author of Tobacco-Stained Mountain Goat (Another Sky Press), a novel that fuses sci-fi and hardboiled noir elements. In it, Melbourne is near-future Earth’s last city standing, where the ominous, ubiquitous Hylax Corporation and its CEO are behind the push to apprehend, incarcerate, ...
AWP 2012 – Chicago
Getting excited now. Just two short weeks until The Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference in Chi-town! (I assure you, it’s much livelier than it sounds.) My first AWP was Denver, now two years in the rearview, and I had a memorable time, even if no photographic evidence exists to confirm this. Sure, there ...
Noir at the Bar
Sorry I’ve been slow with updates around here lately, but I assure you that things have indeed been cooking behind the scenes, and there’ll be a deluge of posts between now and summertime about all kinds of happenings, both of the fiction-al and sonic varietals. First up is this event at the end of the ...
LA1K
My short story “Fry Girl” (my personal favorite of those I’ve written) appears in …In Search of a City: Los Angeles in 1,000 Words, the first fiction collection from ThunderDome Press, now available in full-color paperback at ThundaDome.com/LA1K (where you can find instructions for a discount code) as well as through Amazon. Be sure to ...
Microfiction
I’ve added a new section to the site for microfiction. Also known as very short stories (posted to my Twitter feed as #vss or sometimes #storystarters) or hint fiction, these are usually meant to suggest a story to the reader rather than actually tell one. It’s an interactive experience where the reader can’t help filling ...
