Rabid at FitD (For Reals This Time)

The whistling deer head is stuck to the wall. It cannot get you from there.

**On Another note, I decided to make a conversational, rambling blog called, Blahh...Og. I think the title is quite explanatory. ;-) Feel welcome to visit and jump in with me.

SAVE THE LIBRARY

Become An Important Literary Figure

Be written into a classic Jodi twisted short story!

---> Go <---

Evanston Public Libraries & Friends is holding an auction to save their libraries from closing. Margo Gremmler and other Library lovers around the world have rallied to the cause.

How can you help?

One of the items up for bid is a 'unique experience' donated by yours truly. I will write the winning bidder into my next short story. A hard copy (and signed footprint) will be delivered by mail. The story will also be posted here on my blog, dedicated to the kind soul who helped saved Evanston Libraries.

Bidding has started at $1.00. Can you up that?

JUST IN: Check out the fantastic editing service Karen Schindler is offering as a donation to the library. I've seen her work, and it's pretty incredible. If you are like me and want to make a couple pro sales, you won't want to miss out on this. CLICK HERE to bid!

Interview At Pulp Metal Magazine

Pulp Metal Magazine editor Jason Michel and I talk horror, cautionary tales, pirates, music, and he gets first dibs on my current novel in progress, Devil's Eye. Read the interview HERE.


Thank you, Mr. M!


I appreciate Jason's support for underground writers, his deadication to the craft and unique writing styles, but most of all his love of imagination.

His ezine, Pulp Metal Magazine, reflects this. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do. This month looks like whirlwind of art, music, fiction, Kevin Shamel's Dirty Bird martini recipes and Paul Brazil's fine work.

Other News

This baby mourning dove was rescued by a little girl down the street. She found it cuddled to its dead sibling in the hot afternoon sun (100 degrees).

The girl knows I'm a bird lady, so she brought it to me. I've been feeding the chick a special Jodi blend with a syringe. It seems to be over the shock, and is happy as can be. SO CUTE. I had to share.
