Man, why do I ever miss one of these? They’re always the best time of the year. And, as usual, I’m no picture-snapper, have to rely on what others post. And, this time, instead of snabbing pics from around and then trying (and failing) to cite those who actually deserve picture-credit, I’ll just link what […]
Two words I don’t usually put together, true. More used to seeing my name plus “Come to the office” or “All you can eat” or, with impolitely unsubdued laughter, “Security deposit?” Nevertheless, this is a real live thing: Interview in there, updates, how-to, who-to, where-to, all kinds of stuff. Very cool. Who’d have ever thought,
Always cool being at Bookbar, always cool reading with Carrie Vaughn, and who doesn’t like to be on-camera then off, kind of voicing-over, right?
Or, close to home, anyway: Canyon, WTAMU, courtesy CSAW. And I was also lucky enough to get to scoot out to Hereford, talk to the high schoolers there. Was cool. Broke down once in Hereford for a couple days, had three dollars and a bag of Cheetos, so bought a loaf of bread, palmed some
Showing two of my favorite-favorite horror movies. No: two of my favorite of ALL movies ever: oh, wait, I never posted anything about this AFTER it happened. anyway, this is me in JULY, finally finding a couple of old snaps on my camera roll. and a movie of the cool Alamo Draft House carpet. But,
That “Letter to a Just Starting-Out Indian Writer” piece I read first at . . . NALS, I think? in 2015 or so? Anyway, read it again at IAIA a year or so later, they Vimeo’d it, but then, these past few months, it had gotten behind a password wall. No longer: it’s free and
Coming in 2020 (which, surely everyone will be writing as “20/20,” yes?).
Started the week out talking to Billy Stratton’s Native American Lit course (st DU) about Mongrels for . . . I guess it was nearly two hours. Two very cool hours, that I wish had been four: ( was possibly showing off the Turkish edition, yeah. both shots via Billy Stratton ) That class had
Hey, Tattered Cover (Colfax) has a green room now! So cool. Anyway, was a good time, answering questions about Mechanical Animals with Selena Chambers, Jason Heller (editors of this), Molly Tanzer, and Carrie Vaughn. Really, Molly and Carrie and me, we’re on stage so much together we’ve pretty much got a routine, by now. And
I’m there in 2020, LA. Distinguished Achievement Award. So cool, such an honor: Also, a cool year-plus before that, I’m keynoting at LSU’s Mardi Gras Conference in February, here. Then over summer I’m . . . let’s see: teaching the second week of Clarion West, GoH’ing at ReaderCon. Oh: and I’m planning to be at
Just, cleaning up my laptop and found this/below stashed in a tmp directory. It’s echo-ey, sounds like I’m on a stage, maybe? File’s called “GT,” if that means anything. Anyway, what it looks to be: somebody asking me questions about being Blackfeet, writing horror. Or . . . it’s the Q&A from the audience, after

Was a great event last night for Theo and Sacred Smokes—for us, really. Packed house, good words, and a lot of laughing.Â
October was packed full of good times. I don’t think this is all of them, but it’s all of them I can dig up goods for—or, that I can remember to dig up pics and links for. Started out giving a zombie lecture to an auditorium of people at CU: Then I was at the
Proud honored thrilled to be special guesting it then and there: https://www.wfc2020.org/guests
Or, what I was for Halloween, 2018 (all thanks to my wife): And, let’s see if I can get this video to work: Anyway, was cool to be one of my rock ‘n roll heroes for a day. First album I ever got? A record. KISS Destroyer.
Was there this weekend, giving a couple of talks for Permian Basin Writers’ Workshop. Always neat to walk through places I grew up. And, I realized: when I left Texas, I never considered that one thing I’d been taking for granted all along was Whataburger trash in the bear grass:
October, man, it’s a busy time for horror writers. Wouldn’t have it any other way: And, if lists and links are easier: http://www.milehicon.org https://permianbasinwritersworkshop.org https://www.atlasobscura.com/events/defy-your-demons https://blog.frontrange.edu/2018/10/01/get-your-halloween-on-paranormal-fiction-authors-to-discuss-their-craft-at-frcc/ Oh, and I’m a doing a zombie talk as well, and I’m at Southern Alabama on the 29th, reading and visiting: Hope to see you at one of these.

Was a good time last night. My first time at the Mercury Cafe, too (Boulder people don’t get to Denver too often—it’s weird, I know, but neither do Denver people trek out here to Boulder much either). Meaning, I didn’t know what door to use, meaning: of course I ended up circulating at a wedding
Which you’d think would start here, at 7pm, as the sign says: But, really, I was at Tattered Cover Colfax at 2pm, for a Denver Moon event, which went great, as you can tell: On the way out, I caught My Hero in good company: I so, so dig My Favorite Thing is Monsters. Very
I used to be better about doing this—collecting snapshots from the last couple weeks or so, stacking them in a post—but I somehow let that drift away. So, maybe this’ll be me starting that up again? Who knows. Anyway, DCC would be in here, but I had to ghost out of all my panels last-minute,
