Hey, c’mon by on March 3rd and ask me painfully embarrassing questions. It’s a live chat situation (well…fairly live). I’ll be hanging out in front of my computer for 5 hours or so, chatting with interested parties. Things we can discuss:

* Why did I write such an odd book?

* Who are writer influences?

* What I do with my toenail clippings?

Hmmmm…well, maybe we don’t have to discuss all those things. Still, follow this link to chime in.

Hope to see you there!

Jenna and I have been friends for many years and I’ve written about her once or twice on my website. She recently said she’d write about me on her blog, but I had no idea she’d post pictures of me dressed as the Easter Bunny and a half-naked picture of me with a plastic blow up doll (ahem…named Plastiqua).

I’d complain, but she has more incriminating photos, so instead, I’ll just say:  thank you, Jenna. I’m glad we’re friends.

One of the most awesomest things about this writing and publishing gig is that making amazing new writer friends. It’s really fun having writer friends. One of the great new friends I made is British writer, Josephine Myles. She’s warm, funny, and asked great questions. I hope you enjoy the interview.

The “snarkily entertaining” folks at Chicks & Dicks offered me a chance to blog on their site during February, their theme being non-traditional heroes. I jumped at the chance. My topic:  children who survived child abuse and nevertheless grew up to be powerful, loving adults.

Check it out!

Chicks & Dicks: My Unsung Heroes

As it’s book-release-day for me, the good folks at Dreamspinner allowed me to take over their blog for the day. I posted a couple Postcard Moments from the book, a short discussion of Vin as the Mysterious Stranger, and a youtube video titled: Sh*t New Authors Say. It’s fun. Check it out.

On Tuesday, February 28th, I will guest blog for Chicks & Dicks, a website devoted to exploring M4M literature. During February, Chicks is featuring non-traditional heroes on their blog: those who inspire us but may not fit the model of the muscle god who *happens* to be a nuclear scientist, or the international spy who doubles as a Hollywood heart throb.

Who are your non-traditional heroes?

I loved pondering the question and asked the creator if I might take a crack at writing my response. She generously said yes! I’ll post the link once the interview goes live.
