This has been one of those days that can’t end soon enough, but I’m too wound up and generally pissed off at myself to even go to bed early. So I’m munching on a late-night bowl of Cocoa Krispies and pouring my heart out to you, the vast Internetsies. Tonight I was over at my ex-wife’s [...] Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes. The studio version was tremendous, but the live version is just tremendous x 10 with a big heap o’ awesome dumped on top for good measure. Happy Valentine’s Day. Enjoy. For those of you on Twitter, I’m scheduled to be the guest author today on #scifichat. What exactly is that, you ask? It’s a Twitter group organized by publisher David Rozansky of Flying Pen Press that gets together on Friday afternoons to discuss various science fiction and fantasy related topics. I participate when I can, [...] The key component of the dust-up between Amazon and book publisher Macmillan (who has since been joined by Hachette Books and HarperCollins) is the pricing model used to sell electronic books.

I’m still fighting an awful cold (though feeling better than last night, [...] I wasn’t planning on reading Lev Grossman’s The Magicians. At least not anytime soon. My reading pile (like most of yours, I’m sure), is huge. Everest-sized. So adding books to it that I’m not sure I’ll like is an iffy proposition at best. Why wouldn’t I like The Magicians, you ask? Well, there was this review [...] I love the Wolfman. Yes I do. I don’t know if I’ll actually like the new movie starring Benecio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Emily Blunt, but I sure want to. I have fond, fond memories of watching the original Wolfman with Lon Chaney, Jr. on television when I was a kid. “Even a man [...] An international trailer for Clash of the Titans was just released. I’m a little surprised at how excited I am for this. I’m even rather fond of the rock music used in the trailer and curious to see if it carries over to the final film. Thanks to IGN Video for the find. More Clash of the [...] I was all set to post about my childhood love for all things Wolfman (and horror movies in general), but the Internetsies are still all a-flutter, grousing about the Amazon/Macmillan corporate grudge match. It’s just too damn entertaining! (At least for us writerly types, who, you know, are interested in books from both the writing [...] To read more, go here and here. That is all. |
