Long Time no Post
Wow. Can't believe I have not updated this blog for so long. I have other blogs:
Go here for publication updates.
Go here for my thoughts ion vintage sleaze paperbacks.
Go here for my blog on Orrie Hitt, sleazecore poet.
Let's see...
The Watermelon went out into the world from its distributor, Celebrity Video.
Published 16 books this year -- but mostly reprints of Blue Moon titles from Olympia Press and Borgo Press.
Wayne State UP was still unhappy with my Star Trek critique book, so I pulled it and had Borgo release it.
Changed agents.
Other stuff:
my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer in May. She's now in remission from the chemo, but it was a pretty tough time for all.
issues with the landlord and his asshole employees, so I will be moving from the Ocean Beach. This is okay: it's time I got out of here, where my cats live more than I do. Man, seven years here, but too much of Tara and Liv linger here. I should have moved long ago, and almost did a few times but things got in the way. Mostly, I have too much shit and I'm lazy, or too busy doing other stuff.
On the academic front:
doing a research fellowship at UCSD
won the Norman K. Denzin Qualitative Research Award from the Carl Couch Center.
on the romance front: nothing serious going on right now.
Working on:
finishing a lot of overdue books, like the William Vollmann bibliograhy, the autoethnographic anthology, two books on Raymond Carver...
a screenplay adapt of Orrie Hitt's The Cheaters.
two noir novels.
Black Mask Books is putting out two noir short novels soon:
Shabbytown
The Trouble with Tramps: An Orrie Hitt Homage
The big one this year is the collection of stories out summer 2010 from Black Lawrence Press:
Pictures of Houses with Water Damage.
New agent has three books on the market:
proposal for a book on the hacker group, Anonymous, called Internet Hate Machine
proposal for a book on Tijuana Drug Cartels, called Kings of Tijuana
erotic novel, The Arrangement, to be under a pen name
All erotica will now be under pen names. Olympia Press has put two out as Louis Kahn Nin and 15 "sexology" studies as Dr. Garth Mundinger-Klow, which the publiosher commissioned from me.
Some lesbian D/s BDSM novels under two female pen names.
