I was asked once what my favorite thing was about being a writer. My answer was probably the standard, “I get to write the books like the ones I loved as a kid and share them with the world.” I’m adding a caveat to that today. I do get to write the books I loved as a kid and…
Chris St. Croix and Blood Oath director David Buchert have teamed with Dread Central to share their creepy short film offerings for the Night Terrors series. The two completed episodes — Chris St. Croix’s “The Keeper” and David Buchert’s “Dummy” — will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in the next few months. For now, you can watch by clicking…
Happy Dr. Seuss Day! Be sure to don your favorite striped hat, eat all your green eggs and ham, and read a book to someone, young or old.
I have a new publicist. She’s 11. As of now she’s almost on par with my parents for getting the word out about ENCHANTED. Mom and Dad have started handing out flyers, genuinely and personally, to people they encounter throughout their day. My Little Publicist brags about knowing me to all her friends, and hand-decorates sidewalks. Everything about this…
Over the past decade, I have been to many, many conventions, and I have discovered that none of them are like any of the others. Each one is a unique gem with different facets, and unique members of a staff that struggles for 72 hours straight to tame the unwieldy beast. I’ve been disappointed by smaller conventions and simply…
I’m writing this blog from a week in the past. Oh, how I do love a bit of time travel. I’m guessing right now I’m still recovering from Mysticon, so I won’t have a con report ready yet. But I’ve just finished writing my monthly blog post for the Waterworld Mermaids, and it’s REALLY FREAKING GOOD. You’re going to…
My fellow Coedxian, author Elaine Isaak, sent me a tweet yesterday asking about my “recent obsession with Spirograph.” I thought perhaps this deserved a better-than-140-character explanation. It was Memere who had the Spirograph at her house — we might have owned one, but I don’t ever remember playing with it at home. Only ever at Memere’s house. There were…
This week over at the Waterworld Mermaids site, we’ve been telling love stories. Today is my day to contribute, and so I have offered up to the world the (very abridged) story of Princess Alethea and The Fairy GodBoyfriend. You’ve all wanted to know how we met? Well, here it is. But you have to click over to the…
I hope all of my sweetheart friends are having a lovely day today! Did you receive a treat from someone you loved today? Have you treated yourself? Well…for goodness sakes, why not? Stop over at Dixie Dunbar Studio right now and get yourself something special. For one week only the rest of the month (thank you, Soteria!), use coupon…
I mentioned this story in my RIP message to Whitney Houston on Facebook this morning, and it’s been requested that I expound a bit and tell the whole thing. So here it is: the story of the most infamous, recorded Kontis Sister fight of all time. Once upon a time when there was no call waiting, only five television…
As we get ready for the THIEFTESS release on…
