Book trailers. Well. They’re hard. That’s about it.

In this video, we have two versions of my WAR trailer, and lots of help and love from fans. I asked for content, and got well over TWENTY comments, videos and audio clips. Deluge of love!

I got to get an exclusive sneak peek at the awesomeness that is Personal Effects: Dark Art this past weekend at Balticon! I talk to author JC Hutchins about his ground-breaking book, and we try not to get distracted by passers-by.

I just spent an evening with Scott Sigler and 104 other junkies during the tail end of the Sigler Stank tour. We had a blast at his reading and signing, and he graciously gave me a couple of minutes at the bar before the drinkin’ started to talk about his experience.
