It’s been a long, tough week, but it’s Friday, I’ve already got my workout in, and I’m in a fantastic mood.
Let’s rock.

It was a long and much-needed vacation, but I’m back home and behind they keyboard. If you’ve been following me on Twitter or via my Flickr photostream, you’ve seen some of the things I’ve seen and done. Many, many more pics are forthcoming.
Of course, if you weren’t following either Flickr or Twitter, you probably thought [...]

Any of you non-parents ever wonder what it’s like to get rugrats up and going in the morning? It’s a lot like this:

They’re conscious and awake, but they have zero sense of urgency.
“I have to be at school in five minutes? That’s cool. I have plenty of time to put my shoes on, brush my [...]

I was sad to hear fantasy art legend Frank Frazetta passed away today. I remember picking up one of the Death Dealer novels based on the strength of its cover art, the iconic “Death Dealer” painting. I remember little about the novel, but after seeing more and more Frazetta art, I quickly became a fan.

Apparently I can’t just sit down and relax. I have way too much to do and not enough time to do it.
I can’t believe it’s May already.

It’s Earth Day! Why buy a paper copy of The Pack: Winter Kill when you can get a Kindle digital copy delivered instantly? It looks just as sharp on your Kindle reader, your desktop, or your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad as the real thing!
And hey, go recycle something, too, eh?

I was sorry to hear about the passing of George Scithers, a former editor for Weird Tales magazine.
Unfortunately I’ve never met him, but I have exchanged a few letters with him while submitting stories. He was one of few editors I received personalized rejections (and advice) from when I was first getting started ten or [...]

There’s a dearth of hotties in bikinis, but I’m still rather enjoying Spring Break this year.
Most school breaks, I try to spend them as though I’m a full-time writer: I’ll put in plenty of keyboard time, then spend a few hours taking care of housework or whatever else I’ve been putting off. Usually it [...]

Today the Midget’s teacher sent an email to the Wife. It went like this:
“I’m sending a paper that Tim did this A.M. It will be stapled to his Agenda page. Would you please take a look at it and let me know what you think?”
Being both a parent, a student at some point in time, [...]

Hope everyone had a happy St. Patrick’s Day!

What’s that you ask? Why is a wop celebrating an Irish holiday? Because my mom’s family is Irish. Best of both worlds.
And yes, I prefer Smithwick’s over Guinness. Deal.
