Cool spread of books . . .
Stephen Graham Jones is one of the great writers of his generation, and is not read and celebrated nearly as often as he deserves.#FF him on Twitter as well: @SGJ72 pic.twitter.com/Rs3tf2kEfU — Arinn Dembo (@Erinys) February 26, 2018
Jack Ketchum words
Thanks to Michael David Wilson for wrapping them up over at LitReactor. Especially “I figure if I don’t scare myself, if I don’t feel that dread of what’s coming up next, I probably won’t scare you.” https://litreactor.com/columns/celebrating-dallas-mayr-the-wisdom-of-jack-ketchum-1946-2018Â
Oh, man
Thought I was just writing fiction in Sterling City, what with the giant chrome-eyed caterpillars and all, but, oops: Here’s how Sterling City starts out: So, you know, watch out for the jumbo-size caterpillars and all. In a few million years.
Mapping the Interior
I very much approve of this level of staging: I did a little bio research on author, Stephen Graham Jones today. Do you look up author bios before you dive into their books? I highly recommend it. pic.twitter.com/KvyHY6yPdR — Sadie Reads Them All (@SadieLouWho) January 15, 2018
Words per minute
I dream of a word processor that throws a little a WPM gauge up in the right corner, so I can keep a close eye for when I’m backing off the throttle more than I should. Way back, when instant-messaging first came around? I used to write chat scripts to talk to different hardly-remote people,
Blood Business
Good time at Tattered Cover last night, with a whole TOC’s worth of us there—enough that we needed a spinner-wheel to figure out who got to read: [ photo: Catherine Spader ] Which? My number spun up. I had to borrow a woman from the audience’s reading glasses, since my arms are only so long, but
Shawn Kemp
In my weakest moments, I imagine that there’s some version of myself in some distant iteration of Earth, dunking like Shawn Kemp:
We all need heroes
And I’ve got a new one: http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article181696671.html Thanks to Angelique Migliore for pointing this out to me.
Mapping review video
A two-fer, actually: Mapping and a novella I blurbed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwRgutcbfvg ( Mapping comes on about 4:44 or so )
Clickable horror

New York Times & Mapping the Interior (& me)
What am I doing in these hallowed pages, right? I mean, by my reckoning, it’s been about forever since I’ve been in the NYT. Thinking . . . 2003, maybe? All the Beautiful Sinners. And that may have just been an ad that Rugged Land bought—I’ve got it stashed away somewhere—so it doesn’t really even

Jason Day
This is a thrown-together couple minutes—camera crew came to the office, got a reel together to zap to all the news/radio places (thus: I’m on the radio a lot this morning). Also, I hear that I was wrong about Memorial Day. So it goes. Anyway, what I kept getting asked was what’s up with the

My Boulder Eating Guide
Best chicken strips in town, and also ever: Dark Horse Bar and Grill. I don’t know what they do to the outside of them, the skin, the batter, but it’s perfect. Best fish and chips in town, and, I’m pretty sure, also ever: Backcountry Pizza. The fish here is somehow very heavy and dense. There’s
Two great tastes
that go great together. Who knew:Â [ also, I guess I don’t understand what “MoneyMarket” is. Is this a commercial? I don’t know/care. Which, yeah, means they’ve probably got me . . .]
