I just finished interviewing Chris Eaton, the novelist and lead singer for Rock Plaza Central. He just wrote a whole album about mechanical horses that don't know they are mechanical horses. You will be singing these songs in the shower. Dig it...

Hardboiling

Wed, 19 Jul 2006 19:31:36 GMT

My buddy Ryan asked me if I was drinking enough. For the record, I'm still hardboiled. Hardboiled as Pat Novak, For Hire.

As I wrote elsewhere, on (next!) Tuesday, May 23 at 8 p.m., I will be reading about the girl who dumped me for a trombone player at the "Prom Trauma" edition of the blogger storytelling free-for-all, the WYSIWYG Talent Show.

It's held at the Bowery Poetry Club, and costs seven bucks. I'd love to see you there. These characters will be performing too...

Teresa Nielsen Hayden, an editor at TOR, once warned:

"One of the pitfalls of the writing trade is that anyone who has basic writing chops can spout authoritative-sounding advice about the biz, even if he doesn't know a bare pope from a hole full of shinola."

That's why I spend almost 99 percent of my time pointing people towards Good People. In honor of my humble laziness, I'm sending everybody over to The Deep Blue Journal's mighty useful interview with fabulist Sarah Langan...

From Lovecraft to Health Insurance

Wed, 10 May 2006 17:26:36 GMT

Nick Mamatas' novel Move Under Ground mashed-up horror novelist H.P. Lovecraft and Beatnik Jack Kerouac, and reviewers at The Believer and The Village Voice all dug it.

Seeing how the trade paperback edition comes out soon, I caught up with Mamatas for an interview. Every week, he captures the crazy writing lifestyle in his LiveJournal page--from struggling without health insurance to triumphantly filing a freelance piece.
