    We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming (…of which I am terribly, terribly behind…) to bring you… Joe Stanton is in agony. Out of his mind over the death of his young daughter. Or so it seems. This was the intriguing line posted in the synopsis of EXODUS 2022 by Kenneth Bennett, a sci-fi thriller that…

    It is my distinct pleasure to announce my next interview, a Conversation with Jennifer Stromer-Galley or, as I knew her at the University at Albany, Professor Stromer-Galley, currently a professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University. Mentor, thesis advisor, teacher, and role model, Dr. Stromer-Galley has inspired me in my academic career…

    At least I hope. As you may know, I am a fan of T Publications and the work of Neil James Gibson, from my post-Dragon*Con interview to my review of Twisted Dark #4. Found some exciting news in my inbox the other day — the creative team behind Twisted Dark and Tabatha and a bunch of…

    First off, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I can confidently state that I am 0% Irish, but given that green is my favorite color, I will be enjoying the trappings of the day. If you’re in downtown Warwick, NY, and you see a big, bearded Italian fellow playing the bagpipes, make sure to tip my brother,…

    I met Michael Dougherty way back when we were fresh-faced youths, soaking up the history, aesthetics, and mechanics of making films at the NYU film school. In the time since graduation we have reconnected on social media, and hardly a week goes by that I don’t find myself laughing or, sometimes, being so moved by…

    “I’m going to do the story either way,” said Mark. “But if I’m going to get anywhere, I need your help.” “Every time I help you, I end up in front of a camera or in the hospital,” said Mark. Mark is a cub reporter looking for his big break. Scott is a New York…

    For those who aren’t following me on Facebook or Twitter—see what I did there?—I am finally home after three weeks at Fort Leavenworth, KS. I was there to take a couple of classes in preparation for some upcoming work stuff, and like all work trips, there was some really useful stuff … and some stuff…

    A few months back, I sat down with a copy of Joshua Safran’s Free Spirit: Growing Up On the Road and Off the Grid. I thought I had some idea of what to expect—after all, I have read more than one memoir of mid-20th century counterculture and thought I was safely in for another. And then…

    I am pleased to announce that I will shortly be posting an interview with author and advocate Joshua Safran, discussing his book Free Spirit: Growing Up On the Road and Off the Grid. This book is powerful, dark, disturbing and amazing. I came upon it unexpectedly—and unsuspecting, and after reading even just the opening section, I…

    And, since it’s my blog, I’ll start with my news first! (Also, as some of my regular readers … reader? … guessed, I’m supposed to be writing right now. Ha.) My secret agent werewolf novel, Cold Run, is going to be published by Untold Press. This was the book I wrote for NaNoWriMo 2011, when I…
