that makes it sound like I’m doing a response to King’s On Writing, yeah? Nope. Only response that book needs is, you know, writing. Anyway, this a series where different writers talk about what ‘reading’ is, or means, or does. And this is my paragraph.

Two reprints and an original — or, one that was supposed to have hit in 2005, but, well, things happened. And now it’s 2011. And I
New story up at/with Stymie: “Rocket Man.” First line: The dead aren’t exactly known for their baseball skills. So, yeah, I had to do some research for this one, to make the baseball parts of it real. Zombies, though — they’re always real. Just a matter of keeping them on the page.
