I SEEM TO BE a little behind this Christmas. Last night, in the middle of a snowstorm, me and the Mustang slalomed around on the roads (which had six inches of rutted snow) and got temporarily stuck in a couple parking lots because I still had to finish my holiday…
LAST WEEK, I DID a book signing at a Borders in Highland, IN, and received an unexpected surprise. Joe, an old high school friend, turned up to say hi, catch up, and… give me a human skull. Now… it’s not every day that someone drops by to hand you a human…
I THOUGHT THINGS were going to slow down after the end of the main leg of the Covenant bookstore tour… but life hasn’t crept to a halt by any means. Over the past month I haven’t blogged because… well… I still haven’t been home! Shortly after my Oct. 24 signing…
JUST BEFORE ALL hell broke loose… OK, before I went away for the past week-plus to work the convention my “dayjob” puts on every year (and no, it’s not horror related in any way!), I did an interview with The Zombie Review that was definitely the most fun I’ve ever…

October at Twilight Tales has always been something special. This year we’re trying something exciting: a featured reader paired with a themed open mic for each week from now until Halloween! John Everson first came to Twilight Tales as a reader and a staff member, and even co-edited the anthology…
THIS WEEK WAS like a return to all my old stomping grounds! On Wednesday, I did a signing at a Borders in LaGrange, IL, a town that I remember visiting as a kid because my dad worked and banked near there when I was growing up. There used to be…
LAST WEEKEND, I spent Friday through Sunday hanging out as a guest at the Chicago Horror Film Festival at Chicago’s Portage Theatre… and had a bloody great time!
