This one isn’t going to show up at the gallery. There’s a benefit auction tonight to buy new camping equipment for the Young Men and Young Women youth groups at the church (their current tents are military surplus that’s older than most of the leaders), and this is what I finished yesterday specifically for that….

Movies Seen Recently: Piranhaconda, Ghoulies, Avengers: Age of Ultron
I think I’ll start doing these posts again, because my opinions are so amazing and stuff. Piranhaconda (2012) – Producer Roger Corman’s follow-up to surprise pop-cult fave Sharktopus (2010) similarly scrapes bottom; Corman has always prided himself on devoting exactly as many resources to a production to get the job done and no more, and since…

That’s hard work — or rather, it was hard work, before I created this handy checklist! Now, just…

At present, I have no other clear prospects, though I do have a few friend-of-a-friend networking leads. At present, my tentative plan (pending final spousal approval) is this: If…
New assemblage: “Look”
I was in such a hurry to get this to the Pandemonium Art Gallery yesterday before the “First Friday” art stroll that I didn’t get any pictures. (Heck, I showed up with the Liquid Nails still wet on the back.) So thanks to Jane @ Pandemonium for sending my some photos. And yes, there is…
Choose-Your-Own Coming Attractions
I just started second-draft revisions of The Last Christmas Gift: A Heartwarming Holiday Story of the Living Dead. I plan to have them done in the next week or so, then get the book out to a few readers for vetting, make any revisions necessary, and have the book out this summer for (1) Christmas in…
New assemblage: Haven’t figured out what to call it.
You know the drill: Before… …And after:

My short story collection Levels: Fantastic and Macabre Stories is now live as an ebook at both Amazon and Smashwords. (The print edition is being slightly tardy, but should be available later this week.) I’ve been running teaser excerpts of the stories at the Cold Fusion Media website, and will continue to do so until…
