Of Rippers and Creapes!

I'm honored to be the guest writer?, captioner?, weirdo?, on this week's "Dilation Exercise" over at Alan M. Clark's supremely cool Imagination Fully Dilated Blog. And while you're there, be sure to follow the links to Alan's website and check out his new novel, Of Thimble and Threat: The Life of a Ripper Victim.

And while I'm here let me go ahead and plug my latest story for Nashville Public Radio, which aired on Halloween -- Sir Cecil Creape: Nashville's Hometown Ghoul!

Zoinks! I'm Back at Last!

Wow, getting back on that blog horse is a lot harder than I thought it would be. When I (finally) started blogging I swore to myself that I would never write blogs about the problems of trying to write blogs – no tail chasin’.

And if you're looking for more stuff to read by me that's printed on actual paper hurry(!) to your newstand in case they still have the Summer issue of Twisted South magazine with my column on the Louvin Brothers' Satan is Real album.  Also, get ready to head back there in a couple of weeks for the Fall issue of Twisted South which will have three, count 'em, three articles by me appearing in that issue. But more on that later.

More to follow, soon, I promise, really, for true…
