Okay… maybe there are better ways than Chaucer’d Dr. Seuss to start out the New Year, but not by much. HorrorScope did a review of Horror in 2007 To see out the death of 2007, HorrorScope assembled a team of experts within the field of horror and dark fantasy to compile an experts’ choice recommended […]

All the good SFWA boys and girls seem to have dutifully posted about the pending close of the Nebula preliminary ballot on December 31. On the off-chance that you are a SFWA active member and haven’t recommended any fiction yet, I would like to recommend a simple strategy. My opinion on the Nebulas is that

I decided to replace the “I am reading” section of my sidebar with “Recommended Reading.” Why? Well, these days, I’m reading really slowly because I almost never have time to sit down with a book. Plus, since it’s gift-giving season, I figured that I’d point out books that I’ve enjoyed. So, it’ll randomly show books

I just finished reading The Surgeon’s Tale and Other Stories by Cat Rambo and Jeff Vandermeer. I gotta tell you, this slim volume of tales had me on every page.

I got a phone call last night that went something like this. “You were recommended to us and I’m calling to see if you had time to build a giant moth this week for our show.” “Maybe. What’s the actual due date?” “Tomorrow.” I laughed, knowing what the last minute pressure of a show is

(Wheatland Press/All-Star Stories) Since one of my stories is in there, I feel almost as pleased as if my actual name was on

While searching for a perfect pirate beverage for World Fantasy, I stumbled upon CocktailDB, which is a beautifully laid out website. Rob and I have lots and lots of liquers in our cabinet from when all the puppeteers left the country. Everyone cleaned out their cabinets and dropped the supplies off with us. So, tonight

I just read The Fortean Bureau: There Once was a Girl from Nantucket (A Fortean Love Story) by Ken Scholes and John A. Pitts It’s wonderful. Read it.
Steve and Alethea had spent the night at our house. We all spent a liesurely morning and opted not to return to Chattacon. I know that is shocking, especially since there was a puppet show on the schedule, but somehow the muffins that Mom made seemed more enticing. After Chattacon ended, Jason and Justin, of

Sarah, Jodi, Sam and I hung around in Greenwich Village and the East Village for most of the afternoon. We took Sarah to Pizza in a real NYC pizza joint (recommended by a native) and then to have a canoli. Good fun. As I was heading back up to catch the train for Katonah, I
