Art school dropout and graffiti artist David Choe is about to make a pile of money from Facebook’s initial public offering. He says a woman he knows but hasn’t seen for years texted him offering oral sex every day for the rest of his life if he’d give her $2 million. The guy’s 35. That’s [...]
Over at The Night Bazaar, I’ve posted my final column: This is my final column for The Night Bazaar. The blog was conceived as a way to promote writers who had books coming out from Night Shade in 2011, and next year it’ll be promoting writers who have books coming out from Night Shade in [...]
From this week’s Night Bazaar column, my second-to-last: This week’s topic is ”What was the year like for you as a writer.” Such a topic is dangerous for me. It encourages me to navel-gaze, something I’m far too good at. So, honoring the mood of the season, I’ll try to keep it moderately brief, and hopefully [...]
From my new column at The Night Bazaar: Genre Trends for 2012 I’m notoriously bad at staying on top of trends in any medium. This is true of music, literature, art and design, technology, movies, TV…Sometimes I’m way ahead of the curve; sometimes I’m well behind it. I joined Friendster and Tribe before Facebook existed [...]
In case you haven’t seen it…here. These two girls in Japan are the future of dance. Just thought you’d like to know. You’re welcome. Incidentally, the whole thing goes on for five minutes and seventeen seconds. You may get the idea after considerably less than that, but believe me…the fact that they can [...]
There’s so much I find overwhelmingly creepy about these Rocky Horror Picture Show matryoshka dolls on Etsy. Maybe it’s because in my RHPS matryoshka nightmares, Frank ‘N’ Furter, the biggest doll, could be seen here as sort of devouring the smaller dolls, Jonah-and-the-whale style — starting, disturbingly enough, with Riff Raff…who doesn’t even really seem [...]
I’m excited to announce that my very good friend Violet Blue has released a Kindle edition, fully revised and updated, of Fetish Sex: An Erotic Guide for Couples, which was published some years back in print by Daedalus Publishing. The new edition has expanded chapters, a new story and a breathtaking new cover by Steve [...]
Today, I posted a piece at The Night Bazaar about writing my young adult zombie novella “Deepwater Miracle”: I discovered something fascinating to me as I got myself into the mindframe of a young adult protagonist, viewed through the lens of a young adult story. I managed to infuse my tale with pieces of moral [...]
A Rainbow in the Night: The Tumultuous Birth of South Africa by Dominique Lapierre is, ultimately, a good book about a great story. It is only “good,” in and of itself, rather than “great,” because while parts of it are amazing, and all of it tells an amazing story, too much of it tells an [...]
If I started thanking all the people I owe thanks to, I could be here the rest of the day and y’all would stop reading around about page sixty-zillion, if not before. So I want to instead write briefly about how much I appreciate the readers in my life. In that, I don’t just mean [...]
