September 2013 - fpw - 10-03-2013 9/1 - The F Files went out this a.m. and damn, a couple of "smart quotes" sneaked in and came out as "?" - hate that 9/1 - Holy crap! Hard to believe the guy walked away! http://tinyurl.com/m3y6n6b 9/1 - it's Labor Day weekend. And I'm laboring. Which is as it should be, I guess. 9/2 - Sayonara, tokusatsu? :-( http://tinyurl.com/pajh4uf 9/1 - anyone else watching the French crime series, "Engrenages" (Spiral)? Is it just me or is Audrey Fleurot hot? 9/1 - Holy crap! Hard to believe the guy walked away! http://tinyurl.com/m3y6n6b 9/2 - I keep telling people, punctuation is important: http://tinyurl.com/lr3x8m7 9/3 - RiP Fred Pohl. One of the fathers of modern SF. My first signing (at a B. Dalton in Toms River) was with Fred and Barry Malzberg and Isaac Asimov. 9/4 - heard from Otto Penzler my novelette "The Compendium of Srem" is scheduled for December publication in Mysterious Press's Bibliomystery line. 9/4 - just learned that the limited first edition of A NECESSARY END by Sarah Pinborough and yrs trly will be part of the Maelstrom IV package this Halloween. http://tinyurl.com/nfrgwrc 9/4 - Had to happen: Miley Cyrus and Capt. Kirk (some excellent editing here) http://www.theburningplatform.com/?p=60051 9/5 - I can see myself falling for this. http://tinyurl.com/n4bzjxd 9/8 - a definite End Times cloud. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130908.html 9/8 - Having a fantasy football team changes everything. I'm rooting for teams I never cared about. 9/9 - Flipping a picture of hanging bats = coolness: http://pic.twitter.com/QlpqMdl0fd 9/10 - Disappointed in the recent "Luther" run. Lazy writing and idiot plotting. Not even Alice Morgan could save it. 9/11 - Something to think about... http://fb.me/Jpf6fCTC 9/14 - Is it wrong to take such inordinate pleasure writing in the voice of a character who totally destroys the English language? 9/16 - Hmmm...comparing my dialogue to Elmore Leonard's. I think I like this DARK CITY review... http://tinyurl.com/ksxayja 9/17 - I'm told John Wayne saw Ramino with Groucho on this TV segment and hired him for "Rio Bravo." Maybe true, maybe not, but it's a funny segment. http://tinyurl.com/p4p7ybf 9/18 - I like the Eagles, but if "Desperado" was on eternal replay, I can understand: http://tinyurl.com/l6scuad 9/19 - Bouchercon 2013, here I come. Three hours on the road should do it. 9/22 - Lots of folks asking for a sequel to MIDNIGHT MASS over the years. The book keeps selling and people keep asking. So I turned off the radio on the 3-hour drive home from Bouchercon and came up with some unique major elements and conflicts that will keep it from being a simple rehash of MM. It's not ready to write yet, but when it is, I hope there's room on my plate to write it. Because it's looking like fun. 9/25 - Heather Graham and I did the final tweaks on "Infernal Night," our story for the FACE OFF anthology. 9/26 - Well, I was going to tell people about this new Kickstarter thing to fund a giant Creepy/Eerie type horror anthology and tell you that you had a chance to be killed in my story, but that reward disappeared immediately. Sorry. Anyway, it's going to be a great collection. Take a look http://tinyurl.com/pemmwfm ; 9/27 - Oh, yay. The page proofs for the NIGHTWORLD mass market pb arrove. Do you know how many times I've read this sucker in its varying iterations over the past twenty+ years? Neither do I. 9/28 - "Broadchurch" - watched the finale last night - wrenching. An excellent miniseries, perfect for binge watching. 9/29 - saw opening night (previews) of "A Time to Kill" on B'way. The upside: good cast and super stagecraft. Downside: no standout performance (Ashley Williams did the most with her supporting role) and needs some scenes cut. Must-see theater? No. But a solid courtroom drama. |
