Posts under ‘Writing’

I don’t take much stock in sites like I Write Like where they analyze your writing and match it up with some other famous writer, but it’s fun to see what they come up with. I finished a zombie short story a couple of weeks ago and ran the first page through, and this is [...]

I’m glad this summer is finally coming to an end.
With teachers and students returning to my workplace soon, maybe I’ll be able to return to some semblance of routine. While I haven’t overextended myself intentionally, a number of things conspired to take care of that for me, not least of which being the Great [...]

Colum McKnight from Paperback Horror recently took the time to review The Pack: Winter Kill, and he had some great things to say about the book.
You have to be dead not to dig this book. That’s right. Dead.
What you see before you is one of the most incredible mixes of crime, action, and [...]

Now that I’ve spent two nights promoting other guys’ projects, I should probably catch everyone up on my own work.
The Pack is still my main focus this summer, and of course The Pack: Winter Kill is still available in trade paperback and in a Kindle edition. The short comic Big Bad Wolves will be going [...]

I’ve noticed the gripes about e-books have largely faded, and today I read Amazon has announced they’re selling more electronic titles than they are hardcovers. I suppose that shouldn’t be a surprise given they’re so much cheaper, but I also think the devices have finally gotten to the point they’re both useful and user-friendly.

If you’ve read The Pack: Winter Kill (and you have, right?), you may recall the references to Bigfoot and the mention of the “Kenwood Video” by the hikers in the opening chapters. Big Bad Wolves is a short story in comics form that explains where that video came from and why the Lodge is crowded [...]

My librarian recently put me in touch with Michael Cart, a past president of the Young Adult Library Services Association and author of My Father’s Scar. I sent him a copy of The Pack: Winter Kill and he was kind enough to provide the following review.
Mike Oliveri, winner of the prestigious Bram Stoker Award, combines [...]

It’s been a hell of a day.
It started with a crashed server at work. It took a turn for the better this evening when I burned through two more steps of my karate review process, leaving me only sparring and ju ju undo to complete to earn Ikkyu, or first-degree brown belt.
Then it ramped up [...]

I imagine a few of you are clicking on in after listening to my conversation with the guys at The Parafactor this evening. Welcome aboard! I had a great time, and I hope I didn’t sound like too much of a tool.
Thanks again to those of you hanging out in the chat room. I thought [...]

The digital publishing market has just exploded over the last couple of months. I’ve hardly worn the newness off my iPad and now we’ve got Barnes & Noble entering the e-reading app fray, Borders about to drop their Kobo ereader (which Wired is already calling a possible Kindle killer), and even a new device called [...]
