Hey, I've got another book!

I finally finished a decent draft of my new novel, The Apocalypse Corpse. At least I think it’s a decent draft. No one else has seen it yet. I’ve given it to my wife to read, and she’ll let me know if it’s presentable enough for my agent or if, once again, I have written too many masturbation scenes. Long story.

I was unwinding this morning by organizing the short stories I have scattered throughout folders on my computer, and I discovered I have enough stories for a collection. So really, I have two new books, even if one of them is a surprise. And that’s not counting the first two books of a supernatural thriller series that my agent is now readying to shop around.

I really hope someone buys one of these books so I can start getting them out there in the world….

For everyone who wonders why I’m wary of squid, giant or otherwise, I’ll just point you to the article Indiscriminate squid just implanting everyone with sperm.

I haven’t really cared about Star Wars since elementary school, but apparently a lot of other people are pissed off at Lucas constantly tweaking the films. And they have a plan….

I like the alien attack at the end.

Well, some people are certainly allergic to the idea of wi-fi.
