- My new book Fade To Blue is a month away from publication. Man, it's been a long road. Especially since I finished it two years ago. It's like one of those lost albums that's been in the vault because of some disgruntled roadie's lawsuit. But, yes, it's finally coming out. If every single person on Red Room goes to Amazon and pre-orders two copies right this minute, my mother will be very, very ...

- Hey, if you're in SF check out my article in this week's Onion. (dec. 25th-volume 44, issue 52). It's in the AV CLUB section and is called "Lonely Drummer Boy." Unfortunately, it was edited for nice-ness in parts, but you get the idea.

- Hey, the excellent lit journal Glimmer Train asked me to write a short essay for one of their bulletins. You can check my foray into non-fiction out here:ESSAY: The GrottoGlimmer Train publishes a ton of great short fiction and non fiction about writing. A subscription makes a great Christmas gift.

- So I read a story at Litquake last month. They asked five people to write entirely new material just for that night based on Kierkegaard's Either/Or, which is essentially like saying "slap together whatever you want, it's all applicable." I tossed around the idea for a while and decided to go with the most cliched possible angle I could think of. Either/Or says one thing to me, and ...
