    I am still in the slog of editing Cold Run, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, which means that soon I will be able to turn to some other projects without feeling guilty about cheating on my manuscript. I know it sounds silly, but every time I try to work…

    One of things I miss most about living in the NY/NJ area is the opportunity to attend performances of classical music and plays both in the grand, elaborate venues, as well as the smaller, more intimate or experimental stages. Some of my favorite memories from when I was younger are of waiting in line in…

    Yes, this blog is alive and kicking, although barely. I spent the better part of the last month and a half in a tent in a field. It’s a sad comment on my career in that I’ve reached the stage in which even when we’re conducting field training, I’m still sitting behind a desk managing…

    So, remember that book I was gushing about—Exodus 2022? (Hint, scroll down one update.) I ended with the bummer that the book isn’t available until 20 May. However, there is a chance for you to win a free copy, as the book tour is offering a giveway. For more details, check out this: Exodus 2022…

    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…

    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…

    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…
