Here’s a great interview by horror author Laura Enright on her new novel, “To Touch the Sun.” I personally liked her advice for aspiring writers.
And she’s a fellow fan of Harry Harrison’s “Stainless Steel Rat” books!

That the small rain down can rain?
Christ, that my love were in my arms
And I in my bed again!

“Okay, authors. Your best work has just been picked up by a movie studio and you have quite a bit of control over the project. What would the soundtrack be?”
Depeche Mode, Mazzy Starr, Cowboy Junkies, Nine Inch Nails, Sigur Ros and Placebo. Because I hear that shit in my head when I write.
Obama makes a controversial reference to the threat of nuclear terrorism in Manhattan … and the New York Daily News features an illustration of Will Smith’s “I Am Legend” (which … y’know … depicts a vampire apocalypse).
Seriously. See the link:

Lance (a.k.a. the bibliophilic robot 4-LAN) gave my book a very nice review on his blog, “What I Am Reading,” over at The Book Marketing Network.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Book Marketing Network, it is an outstanding community of authors, artists and publishers who exchange advice and guidance about writing, publishing and marketing e-books.
It’s a great group of friends and a terrific source for tips about how best to get readers acquainted with your work. I highly recommend it to all of my fellow writers.

I respond to e-mails from editors with the word “swell!!”
Because “The Beaver” is the professional image I wish to project …

Why, yes — yes it does.
But here’s “Minstrel Boy.”
