It’s nice to trip over something like this in a really obscure Google Alert about some search results done on a health website. Apparently, www.childrensbooksguide.com did a Top 100 Children’s Books of All Time. AlphaOops didn’t make Top 10 on their ABC book listing (DARN YOU, CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM!), but it did make the Honorable Mention. I’m cool…
About a month or so ago, I accidentally clicked on the “Facebook Chat” icon, putting myself out there in the intarwebs available for interaction. Within about 15 seconds, I had 10 people open chats with me. Seven of them were from people I hadn’t heard from in a long time, all of whom I wanted to talk to. Three…
I recently met a few friends in Fuquay-Varina, NC (still one of the coolest town names ever) for the weekend. That Saturday was Drew Williams’ signing at the Lazy Lion (where I scored a lovely signed copy of his new book The Corruptor…do you have your copy yet?)

You enjoy science fiction. You’re addicted to the computer. You’ve got some time on your hands. You like free stuff. Kid, have I got the job for you. Anyone, that’s right, ANYONE can be a member of the Apex Army. There are four ways to do it. 1.) Review some Apex books or stories from the magazine on your…
Skipp asked us all to wait until he made the official announcement. Wednesday, he made the official announcement, SO HERE IT IS! There’s a bit of a long story behind this one (color you shocked, right?), which covers why this tale will be a simultaneous release with its inclusion in PS Publishing’s Nick Cave anthology…but I’ll let Skipp explain…
Voila! (just click the cute girl) Eddie took about half the pictures (while I was on panels and whatnot) so there may me more photos soon (or more links to his…) xox
I was cleaning up & organizing my pictures from Hypericon and I came across this one, which I took on the road from Charleston to Nashville. Yes, Mom, I know the dangers of photography (and writing) while driving — I promise you, my hands never left the wheel. Come on…could you have passed up this shot? And…more importantly…what IS…
Mom saw my birthday tribute to her this morning (how fitting that Concrete Blonde played “Happy Birthday” last night as part of their set for the 20th Anniversary of Bloodletting tour). Needless to say, I brought a tear to her eye — an ability I’ve become quite proud of over the years, as my mother’s tears are a mark…
