NEW SITE
FEATURE:
DAIKAIJU!
INCREDIBLE,
UNSTOPPABLE TITANS
OF TERROR!
From 2005 to
2007, I frequently reviewed DVDs of daikaiju movie releases for About Horror.com—which
has changed formats over the years so that the reviews no longer exist online. I've posted a number of those reviews (as well as a few from G-Fan
magazine) at The Blog Where Horror Dwells and set up a new page here with handy links to
them. On each blog page, you may click on the DVD cover art to visit the Amazon.com site for that film.

creative-writing-help.com interview
"A lot of writers who don't want to do the real work of writing—and writing
is work—take the self-publishing route. Self-publishing has its place, but
in most cases, it's not what an aspiring writer should do, especially for
someone who hopes to build a writing career...."
A question-and-answer
session about my own writing and the writing business in general, conducted
December 2009. Interview by Tracey Tressla.

VORTEX MAGAZINE INTERVIEW...
...with the latest about Curse of the Pharaoh,
the newest Dark Shadows audio drama I've written for Big
Finish Productions, now available on CD and mp3!
"For me, it's very easy to
place myself in Collinsport…wherever I happen to be. Then, once that
happens, the characters end up taking over the creative process and
drive the story forward. Since the characters in DS are so
well-established—so real—they necessarily dictate where everything goes,
even when I'm creating a new character for the drama, such as Isaiah
Mason in Path of Fate, or Gretchen Warwick in Curse of the
Pharaoh."
