One of my least favourite times of the year is fast approaching. We’re already in the thick of it here in Kamloops B.C. Summer officially starts this Friday and today it’s gonna be 33 degrees (94.1 for you Americans). People usually shun me for hating summer, especially living in a city known for its hot dry summers, but quite frankly, you live where you live and you’re allowed to hate...
Remember in the early 00’s when blogging was about all your teen angst bullshit? Remember when your blog was called “Life’s Garbage” and it was a place where maybe five strangers on the internet read about your bad day and you read their blogs and their bad days and you bonded over your mutual teenage angst over tagged links (rewards for leaving comments, the gold of all personal blogs!) and...
Been doing some renos as of late. I've learned a few things and have written no things.
VILE MEN is now officially out!
In preparation for my first signing event, I've been working on some fancy "business cards" to promote VILE MEN, using the online printing service, MOO. I tested the card quality with a selection of 10 different quotes from the collection, and the results were great!
VILE MEN now has an official release date of September 8th, 2015. A few kinks needed to be worked out, but the book is at the press and being printed as I write and as you read. Nevertheless, it’ll be in your hot little hands before you know it, unless you haven’t yet pre-ordered your copy. Fear not! You can do so at Amazon....
You’ve probably noticed the changes to the site. With Vile Men wrapped up and sent to the printers, I figured it’s about time I get serious and organize things. Now it’s less blog and more author seriousness, which is fine because I didn’t blog much anyway. I’ve spent the last few weeks working with Richard Thomas and Dark House Press on getting Vile Men completed, so now that we’re in...
I don’t write much personal stuff on this blog, but if you’ve visited at all lately, you’ll have realized that I’ve been pretty shit that updating as per usual. Well, it’s because of this: I’m hoping this kind of life change won’t affect my writing all that much, because the last thing I really want is to start writing Twilight-inspired erotic fan-fiction like all the other writer-moms seem to. Being...
I haven’t been up to much as of late, other than working until my eyes cry and waiting for rejection slips to come back (most recently from Birkensnake and LampLight magazines, which I will submit to again because I’m such a masochist!) so I can cry some more, maybe even over a bottle of wine (if I’m lucky enough to have one lying around…) Really, though, things haven’t been all...
So it’s the weekend and I can totes drink. Tonight I’m drinking some cheap-ass Gewurztraminer and it is pretty damn chill. I’m feeling it, but I’ve already had near about half the bottle or so, sooooooooooooo… I tagged this post under the drunken webcam thing, only I’m so damn sick of turning on my webcam because my laptop’s pretty damn clogged with dust and shit, and every weekend Jon and...
