Cross-posting this from Facebook since it seemed to have some relevance here. Props to Scott Schnaars for inviting me to participate. Think of 20 albums that had such a profound effect on you that they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days,…

“There is no time travel” on LOST
With Season 5 firmly entrenched as “the time travel season” of LOST, I keep seeing reference to an old interview where the show’s producers said “there is no time travel” on the show. People end up calling them liars and claim we can’t trust any hints they give regarding what may or may not be…
One Year Later
Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the release of Timely Persuasion. (Technically it was released on February 29th, so this pseudo anniversary date will have to do until 2012.) Crazy how time flies. Some stats from year one: 24,414 Pageviews from 110 countries 4,116 readers of the online edition 75 blog posts 29 online…
Musically Challenged…Again
The latest episode of Coverville features a Timely Persuasion themed musical quiz, similar to the one I did back in May. Check it out here: Coverville 551: From morning until night, some atomic yellow roses for your (post) valentine Musically Challenged starts at around the 34:40 mark. My production values are painfully amateurish, but I…
Amazon, et al.
Just a quick post to announce that Timely Persuasion is now available on Amazon.com, Powells.com, and BarnesAndNoble.com. (Though only Amazon correctly capitalized the ‘C’ in my last name, earning them top billing in this blog post.) Now that the ISBN is officially approved other websites should be just around the corner. Brick & mortar stores…
someTPcards
I’m a huge fan of someecards, a site of slightly off-color, snarky, and downright hilarious online greeting cards for any occasion. (By the way — some of the cards are definitely NSFW…) When I discovered a feature where users can create their own cards I was inspired to grab some quotes from Timely Persuasion and…
Ramblings II
Got a text message from my cousin Adam at around 7pm PT on Wednesday that said “Are you in time travel heaven right now?” He was referring to the season premiere of LOST, but forgot that I was 3 hours behind and thus hadn’t watched it yet. Note to self: Ignore text messages after 6pm…
Cover Me: The Art of Jose Roberto
One of the most common questions I get regarding Timely Persuasion is about the cover artwork. Where did it come from? How does it relate to the plot? Is that you in the picture? I was surprised to realize I haven’t told that story on this blog before now. Way back in June of 2005…
Reading in LA
I’ll be reading from Timely Persuasion on Sunday, January 11 at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood as part of Tongue & Groove. T&G is a monthly series featuring authors and musicians that I’ve been attending for a few years now, so it will be interesting to experience it from the stage rather than the crowd….
Huey Lewis & The Anachronisms
Stumbled onto a neat section of the HLN.org Huey Lewis Wiki today that features a full “gigography” of every show he’s ever done. However, this also led me to the entry for 1986. Which means that this… Walking over to retrieve the golf ball, I stopped when I saw the signature on it. Huey Lewis. …
