I just finished reading a good interview with D. Harlan Wilson over at Midnight in Hell. Here’s an excerpt: “I can’t remember what specifically drew me to fiction writing. No doubt it had something to do with world-building. I’ve always found the real world somewhat boring and anticlimactic. Fiction writing allowed me to create new…

You can now follow all the developments of the making of Dustin LaValley’s Party Girl by friending this myspace: http://www.myspace.com/eggfilm Did I mention that John will be a victim in the movie? That alone is pretty much priceless!

Got the first, pre-release review for Finale today and it’s a good one. “Toth is a skilled writer who has selected words to paint pictures, or a movie, for each of the scenes. While the reader may get caught up in the story, one has to appreciate the beauty of the words on the page…

Chad Savage did an awesome job with the cover for D.D. Murphry, Secret Policeman. The details are really cool, though it’s a bit hard to see them at this size. I’m really looking forward to this one. Here’s a description of the book: D.D. Murphry has a way with words—or is it that words have…

Brian at ZombieMall.com had some really nice things to say about Better Haunted Homes & Gardens. Here’s an excerpt: My take; it’s certainly something I’ll add to my daughter’s book collection. My daughter’s take: “daddy I want a big bug collection too, read it again.” All in all, I liked it, my daughter liked it,…

The first review for Welcome to Oakland is in. I’m expecting many more but this one really gets to the heart of why I love the book. “Eric Miles Williamson’s Welcome to Oakland is the book the Beats would have written if their privileged upbringings hadn’t sent them to the Horace Manns and Columbias of…

Tria Andrews pulls no punches with her review of Jesus Coyote over at LITnIMAGE: “Blasphemy, terrorism, and serial killers sell; yet Jaffe’s version subverts, alienates, and questions, keeping the reader “pent rather than purged….Jaffe’s novel is a dare and calling for that rare reader possessing intelligence and soul.” Read the review here

Matt Warner was interviewed for a One Minute How-To where he discussed how to stay motivated as a fiction writer. It’s a cool little spot, well worth listening to.
