Gee, I’m so GLAD you asked…. Should be available for preorder soon! Last date I got from publisher was 10/1, though it’s still listed as 12/1. Click for listing. Here is some delightfully delicate back cover copy to get you in the mood: ——————- The only thing worse than war is revolution. Especially when you’re […]
So, What the Hell is INFIDEL About, Anyway? Read More »
Every once in a great while, somebody makes a movie just for me. I’d grown so accustomed to seeing bad movies that I forgot they actually made good ones. That’s why Hanna came as such a surprise. Hanna is the story of a girl who’s grown up in the woods in the far north, raised

I didn’t hate this movie as much as most people, and I suspect this is because I didn’t go into it expecting some Grand Feministe Epic. You can generally tell how seriously a movie takes it female characters by what they’re wearing throughout. One glance at all the lingerie and little-girl fetish gear in the

J. and I are busy negotiating an epic fencing experience for our house. It will look something like this: You all don’t want to know how many book checks worth of fence this is, but it was the only fence type we could get mostly-approved by our neighbors.

I may be one of the very few readers who doesn’t actually want a writer to tell me what the hell is going on. I am the ultimate anti-infodumper. I would rather claw around in a weird world for awhile piecing together through action, dialogue, and creative description how things work than for a writer

It’s so sad when a movie with a potentially great story goes so wrong. I am willing to forgive Kristen Stewart the whole Twilight thing because she had such a great Joan Jett look. The problem was she just wasn’t given much at all to work with. Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie was even worse,

Because not everything I write is bug and blood and deserts. Well, not all deserts, anyway. From the latest WIP, a short story titled, “Sense of Dark.” ————- Everything that mattered happened in the dark. It was eighteen in the morning, the deepest part of the black, with the promise of dawn another eight hours
