The Skelebration of Scares
Welcome one, and welcome all, to The Skelebration of Scares, a multi-ring circus of terror. The wind has grown chill, friends, and the time has come again for the ghouls to leave the darkness of their tombs and to roam the land once more. We invite you, neighbor, to join us in the relatively creature… Continue reading The Skelebration of Scares
Upcoming Stuffs…
Just a quick update on stuff I am doing. This weekend (9.25.10) I am doing the Service Street Fair in Detroit. I did it last year and had fun. It's a modest sized show but had a lot of good art and music on tap. I will have my books and art there if you're… Continue reading Upcoming Stuffs…
A Reminder From the Back
So I had the distinct honor today of meeting with a friend to talk about writing, and while we were talking it hit me that, darn do I sound dour about writing. And I don't MEAN to, I mean, if I didn't love writing then I wouldn't do it, but I think it's more that… Continue reading A Reminder From the Back
But Why Should You Buy It?
So this is where I tell you why you should buy my books. Being self-published means that you are promoting your work all the time, but there’s a time when you just have to shut up and let the book do whatever it’s going to do. I try strike a balance with what I am… Continue reading But Why Should You Buy It?
Something Neato!
The very cool Christine Wickham did this interview with me recently. It's pretty boss. (and if you found yourself here BECAUSE of said interview, well, HELLO!) Interview!
The Dark Stuff…
As a writer you are bound to run into what I'll call The Dark Stuff, and you can either embrace it or avoid it at all costs. Neither is the write answer, neither is the wrong answer, it's a matter of taste and feel and where you're willing to go. For me, I usually tend… Continue reading The Dark Stuff…
People's Arts Festival 2010
Doing the writing thing, you have to always been looking for ways to get your work out there and as an artist, you have the same challenge - how on earth do I get my work out there? Now, for years now I have been trying to bring my art with me to shows I… Continue reading People's Arts Festival 2010
My Genius Idea of the Day…
So, this is more like YESTERDAY's genius idea but still, I get credit. I was sitting there thinking yesterday, wow, so these zombie walks are starting to take off, that's pretty fun. But they need something. Everyone is doing their own thing, there's no connector. There's no sort of, I dunno, collective, no 'family'. Ah,… Continue reading My Genius Idea of the Day…
Winding Up a Busy Season…
Phew, it's been a bit of a whirlwind since the publication of The Meep Sheep a few months ago and I am still going strong. The thing that wears you out with the book process is the promotion, as I have said before, but it's also some of the most fun you have. Getting the… Continue reading Winding Up a Busy Season…
Snapper
Of all the things I like to do artistically I think photography is the one I am most self conscious about. I mean, writing, it is what it is. I have been writing since I was a teenager and while you never like it when people dislike what you are doing, you also have… Continue reading Snapper
Slowing Down for a Second…
It all gets a bit overwhelming sometimes, the whole writing and promoting a book thing. This isn't to say you regret any of it because every step, forward or back, is movement and movement is what it takes. When you stop moving you accept where you are at and that's the danger. Once you accept… Continue reading Slowing Down for a Second…
A Little Fun…
A couple months back I and a couple friends did something here in Flint called the Re-Birth of Flint Cool and it was a fun way for us to talk about writing and our books in particular. We filmed the entire event and I am trying to get that online in chunks (It was about… Continue reading A Little Fun…
