I would love some Freaking Magical Unicorn Gum! It’s a by-product of unicorns farting rainbows, apparently, and ThinkGeek has it on sale here. It’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas, folks! (Dear Santa, don’t forget my UniCORN holders either, please.)
Dearest Lee sent me this picture from the Borders in Charlotte, NC. My favorite part is what the sign says. Thanks for being great sports, Borders!! And to answer a new question — yes, the more stores you go to, the more chances you have to win a signed book. So, go crazy! (Got a camera phone? Want to…
Two great new reviews for AlphaOops: H is for Halloween from two exceptionally fun (and Halloween appropriate!) review sites — The Monster Librarian and Kinderscares. Got a budding slasher-film director in your progeny? Well, Mom and Dad, these are the sites for you! *From The Monster Librarian: AlphaOops goes a step beyond the typical letter representing a word in…
I figured it out — once someone takes a pic in Photo Booth, they need to then select “Flip” from the selection screen while still in Photo Booth. Otherwise, short of Photoshop, one might drive oneself mad. (The best of us are.) This is what the picture SHOULD look like: Click on the picture if you’re interested in RSVPing…
I learn something new with every book I publish. What I’ve learned with AlphaOops: H is for Halloween is: 1.) It is WAY easier to write the second book if you already know the characters, what their motivations are, and what they look like. 2.) It is more helpful to write the manuscript in actual theatre or film script…
If you haven’t heard the news by now: the press release is out and slasher movie Hatchet II has been yanked from theatres after only three days of its release.The uproar prior to this was director Adam Green’s big fight with the MPAA, because they maintained that the film should have an NC-17 rating. In a nutshell, it went…
I love reviewers. Love them. Especially when they 1.) are nice to me and 2.) spell my name correctly. Like this review in particular, from the Pittsburgh Tribune (warning: spoilers!). “A raucous Halloween production,” they say — which I appreciate simply for the use of the word “raucous.” They praise my clever idea and Bob’s exuberant art, and list…
Dude, I went to bed thinking I’d be lucky if one or two people responded to lay eyes on this manuscript real quick. By the time I woke up this morning I had been contacted by TEN PEOPLE, and more have been flooding in who missed last night’s window. I am humbled at this outpouring of generosity. You guys…
I was only going to edit one chapter tonight, but everybody went to bed and I just couldn’t stop. Finally, after far too long a time, I am finished with what feels like the umpteenth revision of HAVEN, my YA paranormal/horror novel. It’s 70K words, and I’m looking for some pre-readers who can get back to me fairly quickly….
Just close your eyes and imagine the wings. I did. If there had been *that* much more wind, I could have flown, for sure. As it was, I just escaped frostbite. I will be much better prepared in a couple of weekends for our next game. The Eagles better be more prepared too.
