Continue reading →: The Next Big Thing
My friends Richard Gavin and Ian Rogers both tagged me simultaneously as part of their Next Big Thing posts (which you can learn more about by following those links). The gist of the idea is that you answer ten standard questions about your next/newest book, and then tag five other…

Some unforeseen logistical factors may have temporarily derailed (no pun intended) our Hitchcock marathon, but it’s still going ahead, just maybe a little slower than expected. However, we did manage to catch Strangers on a Train, starring Farley Granger (who we just saw in Rope), Robert Walker, and Alfred Hitchcock’s daughter Patricia!…

Look, I don’t even like James Bond movies. I watched a few of the old ones on TV when I was growing up, but I’ve mostly forgotten them, with the exception of a couple of the more recent Pierce Brosnan ones. Pretty much everything I know about James Bond I…

Continue reading →: The Lady Vanishes & Rope
As I mentioned a while back, up until about a month ago, I had managed to go my whole life without ever seeing a single actual Hitchcock film, as difficult as that is to believe. Prodded by watching Dial M for Murder, I resolved to devote November to rectifying that…

Continue reading →: Never Bet the Devil!
Missing Halloween by a single day, my debut collection Never Bet the Devil and Other Warnings just showed up on Amazon yesterday! We were expecting it in the next few days, but it jumped the gun a bit. Never Bet the Devil features ten of my stories, accumulated from the last four…

Yesterday, on my bus ride home, I finished Ian Rogers‘ debut collection Every House is Haunted. I’d read it over the last three days, and I couldn’t have asked for better material to close out the Halloween season. Full disclosure, before I get into the meat of this review: Ian and…

Happy Halloween, one and all! I’ve been at work all day, and I’m going to a party this evening, so I’ll keep this short, but it wouldn’t be right to let Halloween go by and not say something. So I’ll give you some seasonally appropriate links. For starters, however you feel…

Continue reading →: -30-
Tomorrow is my birthday. In spite of the subject line up there, I’m actually turning 31. But it seemed appropriate anyway, not only because tomorrow is the 30th, but because tomorrow is the end of my being 30. In some ways, it was a pretty big year for me. Probably…

One of my earliest memories involves Monster Squad. I couldn’t have been less than six years old, because the movie didn’t come out until 1987, but I also couldn’t have been in third grade yet, because the memory takes place in Sedan, Kansas, and I moved away from there in my…

Continue reading →: Two Books
I’ve got two books coming out this year. One of them I wrote, the other I co-edited. I’d be hard pressed to tell you which one I’m more proud of. The first is my debut short story collection Never Bet the Devil and Other Warnings, due out pretty much any day…
