I'd like a Corned Beef on Rye's Journey and some potato salad, please.

My little man is no longer here, but the debt still remains, if you could share this post, or donate anything at all I would be forever grateful.

Classrooms? LUXURY! We had to learn in bamboo lean-tos under the interstate! We'd have killed for classrooms!

While I'm making recommendations this morning, if you want some seriously Kick-ass historical fiction that I think Robert E. Howard would have loved, I recommend Simon Scarrow's 'Eagles of the Empire' series. No sorcery but plenty of swords and action, with fun characters and great period detail.

I had coffee while at Waffle House, then came home and made more coffee, so Both?

Was rereading Robert E. Howard's Cormac FitzGeoffrey stories "Hawks of Outremer" and "The Blood of Belshazzar" last night. Pretty much 'Conan on Crusade', which was just what I wanted.

There's some speculation that Eisner may have helped with the inking on the first couple of Drew stories. They were produced in Eisner's 'shop' for Fiction House comics.

Jerry Grandenetti always interests me. He did one of my favorite old features, 'The Secret Files of Dr. Drew' and began in his dead-on Eisner style, but later switched to something more his own.

Once they buy it, I have nothing to say about it. They can read it backwards, skip pages, whatever. It's their book. Would I prefer people read it as I intended? Yes. heh

This is how all those 'Paul is Undead' rumors got started.

Heh. I don't disagree. But it's just so goofy I've come to enjoy it.

What's a movie you genuinely enjoy that's known for being bad?

Van Helsing!

My premade cover gallery is getting too big. Need to clear some out. 33% off everything for the next few days to maybe incentivize some of you that were on the fence 😘🤪

The Bat-Cave is a lot closer to the surface than I was led to believe.

Readers Are Embracing a Shift in Perspective in Books. It Could Reshape Literary Culture. There’s been a profound shift in perspective preferences when it comes to romance novels.

This is interesting. When I first started writing, the common wisdom from publishers and editors was 'don't write in first person'. Seems to be some shift in that thinking, at least in certain genres.

It is #InternationalWomensDay, which is a particularly good day to support this book! Yes the stories are in the U.S., but the concept resonates beyond; *how* do we talk about women, alive and dead? Who controls the narrative?

1102 words makes a chapter this morning. I use fairly short chapters 900-1200 words, to keep a thriller pace.

My friend, Western writer James Reasoner, said he always sees my barbarian hero Kharrn as Clint Walker.

It's amazingly good, but yeah, there's a lot of it. I watched every bit though.

Oh, and I love that cover.

THE HOUND is a really fun Lovecraft story that I don't think gets enough attention, maybe because it's so gory and over the top. I keep meaning to write a sequel.
