Catching Up with Depeche Mode!

…or just, you know, me. And other peeps!
Though, while we’re on the topic of what’s current in fashion (see what I did there?) let’s talk about my friend Synde’s new jewelry line, under the design name: CEMETERY CAT. She’s trying out some Chthulu and steampunky shiz that really is hot snatch. Check it out here [...]

Loud Twitter

So, I just ditched out on the whole Loud Twitter thing. I mean, really, I don’t read anyone else’s entries when their made up of lists from Twitter, why should you read mine?
So…I leave you with the very rare blog entry…or not.

In Lieu of Actual Blogging…

I’ve loaded a heavily captioned photo album from our NYC/DC trip on Facebook. With photos such as this one depicting me as our nation’s majestic unicorn.

Here’s the link…

Just A Sec…

…to say that I’ve chosen the winners of the Rob Thurman, Publishing Roadkill Contest. And to say that the winners will have to wait for their prizes is an understatement.
The Grand Prize of Original Snark Art, signed by both me and Rob goes to…
Qwill
And the winner of the snarked up copy of Nightlife (which I [...]

Plans Change

Caroline and I leave Monday for a 10 day trip to New York and D.C., and I’m pissing myself excited about it. Initially, though, I’d thought I’d schedule some events, signings and such, which didn’t pan out, primarily because, well, Seattle is a long way from New York and since this whole writery thing happened, [...]

Publishing ROADKILL: A Contest of Sorts!

Yes, I realize that title could be about me, what with my struggles (cue violins), but not this time. Nope. Today’s contest is all about Rob Thurman (insists she’s not a man), the author of the Cal Leandros urban fantasy series, or so I’m told–haven’t read them, though I’m certain they’re adequate–I kid, it’s at [...]

Release Day!!!

Wow. It’s 7:30 pm here in the great Pacific Northwest and I’m nearly done in. Yep. Today was the launch for Battle of the Network Zombies and I’ve been spread super thin between vlogging and fielding questions on guest posts and loading crap onto YouTube. Arggh.
Anyways…Battle is out, go get it if you like zombie [...]

Don’t F**k With Markita!

After a weekend full of romance, and by “romance” I mean back-breaking labor, it’s nice to get some nice reviews and contests and stuff thrown in your book’s honor. But we’ll get to that in a second. Here’s what I’ve been up to.
1. Painting. For Valentines Day, Caroline and I opted for sore muscles followed [...]

Two More Things!

1. Don’t forget to sign up for the League Reading Challenge at Literary Escapism.  In an attempt to get people reading new authors in the genre, the League has teamed up with Literary Escapism and ponied up tons of prizes. Go. Sign up. Now!!!
2. I’m still fouling up copies of my books at University Bookstore. [...]

Release Day Plus One

Yes folks. Release Day/Week/Month/59 Days is upon us. Happy Hour of the Damned is trickling into your back pockets from bookstores all over the place (or so I’m reading on twitter and such). And there are tons of events going on to promote the release. Yesterday’s Twitter explosion was very nearly overwhelming thanks in [...]
