So I’ve decided to post the first chapter of my upcoming novel, Hot Sinatra, on the ol’ blerrrgh for your edification. PLEASE, feel free to leave notes, comments and solicitations (O.K., maybe not solicitations). Be kind, this is still a work-in-progress.

Frightful Fall Read-a-Thon
Over at Castle Macabre they’re hosting a “Frightful Fall Read-a-Thon” from October 3rd to 9th, wherein you just pledge your allegiance to Ye Gods of the Word and read some books during that specific week. Read one book or read ten, that’s up to you… but sign up on the site or through the Castle Macabre’s FB event page to put yourself in the running for prizes and to keep up with the party. I’ll be contributing two copies of A Career Guide To Your Job In Hell to the prize kitty (duly signed by one author) and there are plenty more prizes and surprises, thrills and chills in store! YOU WANT TO GO TO THERE!
Second rule of Book Club?
Don’t turn your back on Book Club, that shit’ll creep right up on you…
Add to the list:
(Possibly) the new Lawrence Block thriller under the pen name Jill Emerson. “Getting Off is the story of a young woman who sets off on a quest to find every man she’s ever slept with – and to murder them all.”
And the new Sherlock Holmes adventure by Guy Adams, which has Holmes and Watson seeking out none other than Aleister Crowley in their attempts to thwart a mysterious killer of the world’s top Occultists. Biscuits and gravy, baby!
As previously mentioned, the only one actually in my possession is Kevin J. Anderson’s Captain Nemo, so the rest of these are potential reads at best. Still… a boy can dream.
First rule of Book Club?
Well, it wouldn’t really do to not talk about Book Club, now would it?
Next up on the Book Report list is the newly re-released trade paperback of Kevin J. Anderson’s CAPTAIN NEMO, which looks… BAD. ASS.
Then I may be checking out newish author Rob Mosca’s gonzo genre-bender HIGH MIDNIGHT which features, among other things, a homicidal clown, an Enmascarado sheriff and his knife-weilding chimp deputy, ghostly bordello girls and the “Devil’s Outhouse”. Color me fucking intrigued!
In other news, I polished off my flash story for the SLICES OF FLESH anthology and will be submitting it forthwith. All I’m going to say is BEWARE LOS CHUPACABRAS!
Got How?
