...should be available in a couple of weeks.

My hommage to pulp fiction - a fun Yellow Peril story with the most lurid title I could think of - will soon be now available from the acclaimed audio series, DARK VOICES. It's read by yours truly and features wonderful background music and f/x by Robert Schaller. The CD comes with a signed chapbook of the story.

I inserted a number of cameo appearances by famous characters; if you can’t identify them you are banned for life from reading anything else I write.

It's just about ready to go.

In the mid 1990s I wrote a novel about the discovery of the body of the Virgin Mary. As I did with vampire lore in MIDNIGHT MASS, I began with the premise that all the Catholic lore about Mary is true except for one thing: She wasn’t assumed body and soul into heaven; instead, her body was hidden away in Israel’s Negev Desert. The guardian of her remains gets careless over the millennia and, while he’s busy elsewhere, the body is discovered and spirited away. This sets in motion a chain of cataclysmic events that reverberates around the world. I had a ball with it, putting all my Catholic background (even though I'm a recovering Catholic, you never forget) into play. I sent it out under my wife's maiden name (Mary Elizabeth Murphy) and gave it a blurb under my own. Even dedicated it to myself: "To my husband, without whom this book would not have been possible."

This is the first hardcover edition and the first publication under my own byline. It should start shipping mid-February. Order here: http://www.borderlandspress.com/virgin.html

I'm unable to get any copies ordered to my store, and it's only being sold used at Amazon. Wazzup.

After my friend read Nightworld, he said "That was great! And, last battle reminded me of Battle at Ganryu-jima".

"Musashi Miyamoto vs. Kojiro Sasaki, battle at Ganryu-jima" is well known story in Japan. Glaeken=Musashi, Rasalom=Sasaki, Central Park=Ganryu-jima.....yeah, it makes sense to me.

If you don't know about their story, check it. I'm not sure Glaeken was artist, but Musashi's sword skill was like Glaeken.

Paul, did you read their story, and it influenced you? Or coincidence?

It's Japanese old SF movie. Have you ever seen this? You can see it in Retrovision. Check it, it's too funny! Starfish aliens!!!

Warning From Space

Is the Revised edition, or the Author's editiion of Night World out yet. I really want ot find a copy but don't know where to look. I read the original and was wanting to read the new one. Could someone plese help.

Also I wasn't sure which board to post this on sorry if this should have gone on off topic discussion.

LOST starts up again tonight! I can't wait!!!

I watched most of this documentary that uses this inside joke popular among comedians as its focal point. Apparently the joke comes out after the lights have gone down. I did get a few chuckles, but the sheer amount of depraved humor concerning incest, bodily fluids and beastiality wore me out before the end credits. My favorite bits were the comics that chose the higher road in their telling of the joke, although Carlin's version was quite funny despite it's incredibly gross nature. The mime was also pretty funny. Know what you are getting into before you watch this one.

Its been a while since I read it and I loaned out my copy and as usual havent received it back yet to check...and I have yet to see the updated version so.....

pieces of the weapon have to collected from across the globe and give to Mr Haskin's tenants to rebuild. the Keeper's necklaces are a big part of this, but the focus is all on the metal- what about the stones?
there's such a strong emphasis on the quality of the stones in Rakoshi and the original/updated Tomb, but where do these stones go after the weapon is reforged?
the stones themselves were never really explained, no specific type of stone just decribed as like amber with the pupil like centers...and that these necklaces are pre-vedic, which , as Abe so bluntly states, makes it O-L-D. you have to wonder what they are to have been durable enough to last a millenium (or more)..and where are they now????

Damn, I need a compendium.[/SIZE]
