Sorry to once again beat the drum for my forthcoming class here in Berkeley, but I must! Less than two weeks left to sign up, so if you were planning on it, please do! It's a lot of fun! (Mostly for me.) There are free brownies!
Genre Fiction: Writing the Page-Turner: 5 Saturdays, Aug. 14-Sept. 18 (skip Sept. 4th), 2-4:30 p.m. If you're not local, and given that this is the friggin' Internet most of you ain't, tell your friends.
I got my contributor copies of Scratch by Brian Keene yesterday. (They had some extra pages, so reprinted an interview I conducted with Keene in 2006, which was published in Cemetery Dance in 2008. And yes, now it's 2010. Welcome to Cemetery Dance, the quarterly magazine apparently headquartered on Jupiter, where the years are extremely long...) I didn't realize these signature series books were actually in hardcover—or thirty-five bucks! Anyway, it looks cute. Odd trim size too, like a large European candy bar filled with nuts you've never heard of.
So, has everyone seen the old Scrooge McDuck comic book that is basically Inception ? Well, you have now. The similarities really are uncanny. That's why it pays to go to flea markets and root around in those boxes full of old moth-eaten funnybooks, ya know.
I'll be in New York next week. Update your natural disaster to-go bags now!
