So once upon a time, years and years and YEARS ago, I wrote a short story called “The Forbidden Grand.” It was published in Deadman’s Tome and I eventually forgot about it. Well, that’s not true. I remembered it but it was a really new story from a young writer and it wasn’t that great, to be honest. So. Ahem. … Read More
Covering Hate With Love
This is something that happened last year, but I came across these pictures and wanted to share it. I find it more timely than ever. This is hateful graffiti that was left at my children’s elementary school. Yes, I know the original origins and meaning behind this symbol, but I think it’s a safe bet that when you see it … Read More

Pimp A Friend Friday: My Nemesis Matt Betts Has a New Book!
Matt Betts is the Doofenschmirtz to my Perry the Platypus, and he has a new book out. It looks AWESOME. A group of treasure-hunters hits the high seas chasing a tip from a mysterious source. If it’s true, it could be their biggest score yet-literally-a massive robot the size of a skyscraper lost since the last war, worth a sizable … Read More
Black Ice Cream! With Sprinkles.
Run, do not walk, to Little Damage in LA. It has delicious, charming black ice cream that tastes faintly of roses. It’s kinda one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
Miss Murder’s Black Philip Eye.
So this strange eye thing happened a few months ago. And it has changed everything. You might remember that I was nearly killed in July by a scorpion sting. Since then, I’ve had a few difficulties getting back on my feet. Nerve damage, twinges, mental fog, etc. It laid me pretty flat and it’s taken me quite a bit of … Read More
