Feels like I’ve been waiting forever for Looper to come out. Finally got to see it last night. Funny pre-amble: Â As I was buying tickets, the previous show was letting out. I’ve gone out of my way for months to not watch trailers, not read interviews, and otherwise not be spoiled at all before seeing…

“Fester” – New Short Story
My new short story “Fester” is now available as a free eBook on Smashwords. Background: Been working on and off (mostly off) on a novel called Duty Calls for the last few years. Â Inspired by a 6 week stint on jury duty, it’s mainly a tale set during the long idle times at the courthouse….

First Anniversary, Four Years Later
Time flies. Timely Persuasion was released the last time February 29th rolled around, so I suppose today’s the day to celebrate on the authentic intercalary date. Sincere words of thanks and praise go out to everyone who bought/read/reviewed/referenced TP over the last 4 years. Books are written to be read (sorry, Jeff Tweedy), and each…
Of The Year – 2011
After a so so year for albums in 2010, this time around I actually have enough candidates for a proper top 10. 1. Pink Strat — Bahamas This record came out in Canada in 2009, but just came out in the US in 2011. (Yay, time travel!) Quietly snuck up on me as my go…
