Yes, yes, yes. I know what I just wrote here. So what? This is my website. Some quick stats: Over 13,000 page views this year. For some people, that’s a good hour on their website. Or a few minutes. But that’s what I got all year. I think that’s less than 2012. I think I […]

Waiting for the Man Giveaway!
You can enter to win a copy of an ARC (advance reader copy) of my upcoming novel over at Goodreads. How fun is that? The contest is open December 4 to January 4 and is open to residents of the US and Canada (sorry everyone else in the world… for real). So go for it! […]
First Page of the ECW Press Spring 2014 Catalog
Right here. Looks kinda awesome, no?
An Appearance on British television
BSkyB is Rupert Murdoch’s thing, isn’t it? Well, whoever I owns it, I was featured on a tech news show called, um, Swipe. Yes, that’s the name of it. Here I am. I come in at the 3:10 mark. Right after the cranky man who bemoans the fact young people are writing poetry on digital […]
Here’s the Cover (March of the Novel, Part 3,000,001)
And then there was a cover. Here it is. The blurb will change. But otherwise, this is out. This week, some writers/reviewers started to receive ARCs (advanced reader copies) – perhaps one of them will say something nice and their blurb will replace the blurb currently on the cover. Also, I saw the catalog copy […]

The March of the Novel, part 3,000,000
So, we move forward. Waiting for the Man now has an ISBN and its own Goodreads page. I just finished my final readthrough after some last minute and astute edits and queries. And, frankly, I hope to never read this book again. Ever. Oh, I’ll read parts of it. I have to. But not the […]
Big in the OC
I’m some kind of funny. In the OC! (check page 152) At least, that’s what my friend Amy (from this design firm – yes, yes, identical twins, I know) thinks. What does she know? Does it matter? Look who else is on the list: @kellyoxford (who has a new book out and it’s getting raves), […]

New Short Story Published at Joyland
To celebrate the start of winter, or not – this is very subjective – I have a new story published by the great people at Joyland, called Cold. I’m lucky to live in a place that still has winter (I kind of like it) though it doesn’t have winter enough. We used to get a […]

For the Love of Paste
I made Paste’s best Twitter accounts list again. Second year in a row. This year, I hope I receive a t-shirt at least. Or a squeeze toy.
The Media Starts Here
The book media has started to pick up on the novel, or at least the signing of the deal. It’s early yet, but it’s nice to know people are taking notice. I also like the very short synopsis ECW came up with: Waiting for the Man is about a dissatisfied copywriter who becomes a media sensation by […]
