I am now a weekly guest on the hilarious and magnificently run Thursday show on www.binwallaradio.com/show . Do I talk about books? Not quite. Do I talk geek? Yes, I do. Meghan, Kirichi and I each pick a hot guy any geek girl would drool over and compare their…rawr…attributes. After listening to us wrestle with the hotness, you then you get to vote which Geek God wins. I chose Michael Fassbender/Magneto (and may have mentioned that his buns were so steaming I’d slather them with cinnamon butter and have them for breakfast.) Meghan picked Hugh Jackman (boo! hiss! We’re oversaturated with the Jack.) And Kirichi picked Richard Nixon…no, not the late Richard Nixon. I was confused as well. Apparently he’s a geek god singer who un-rapped...

I did do the Binwalla (radio for geeks and gamers and techies) webradio interview (which was supposed to last 20 minutes but ended up an hour) and it was hilarious. I was choking on my wine. It simply was the most fun I’ve had in forever and it was absolutely hysterical. They said I was more entertaining than a rock musician they’d once interviewed. How rockin’ is that? And then they edited it…incredibly nice people who wanted me to keep my job and the FCC from hauling them off to Gitmo. So now it’s an entertaining and informative (with picture) interview.  It follows 30 minutes of Pokemon discussion by their anime person (as we all know: you fall on two sides of Pokemon. I...

I’ll be doing a webradio interview to be posted Wednesday (PST time) on the Library Shelf of www.binwalla.com ‘s Library Shelf or http://binwallaradio.com/show/ and then on Thursday it will also be posted on their main show (which I assumes covers many topics other than me…insane, I know, but what can you do?)  Listen in! For my editors and agent, I’ll try my best not to be myself. For my fans I’ll try to sneak a little bit of me in there <grin.> It’s a fine line to walk to please everyone. Perhaps Rob’s Reavers need a secret code language to allow my profanities to pass through. M***F*** could be mamafudger. Goddamn could be good dog. Piece of shit could be pound of...

This was a scene cut from Cal Leandros Book 3 (I was fond of it as it was just goofy fun in the midst of angst, dark vengeance, and a cannibalistic supernatural mass murderer…a nice light note, but it was cut. I couldn’t remember if I’d ever posted it here on the website…in case I hadn’t, I’m rectifying the situation. I’m all about rectification. And, remember, a few pages of silliness that is in direct contrast to the customary nature of Cal and Niko’s ninety-nine point nine lethal jobs)  On the other hand, it’s interesting to see how far Cal has come in the series…or fallen. He walks a dark road and I was surprised by the memories that this little bit of fluff...

This year I’ll be going to San Diego Comic Con in July, but won’t be appearing on any panels or doing any signings as I didn’t know I was going until it was too late and by then no spots were left for me. If enough fans want books signed, I’ll arrange to meet them at someplace in the Gaslamp…Starbucks…whatever, if enough people are interested in fighting through the zombie horde to cross the street (I am massively over the zombie horde blocking the goddamn street.) I will also be at Dragon*Con as a guest (which is supposed to guarantee me 4 panels and 2 signings, but how that information is passed along, I don’t know. I know I...

REAVERS! Look at this shit! Best sidekick list and Niko the ninja who can kill you with a tube sock didn’t make it. Robin Goodfellow (used car salesman and Totally Puckable ) didn’t make it. Nor did the 7 lb mummified cat Salome who has the arguably highest kill count in the series. Reavers…throw the blood on the ships, grab your best human skin kilt and RIGHT THIS WRONG: http://tinyurl.com/3spspgl  We are not taking this sitting down…unless we’re sitting on the soft, comfy BODIES OF OUR ENEMIES! GO!

Cal and the gang have been contracted for two more books, Cal 8 and 9 (I’m currently writing Cal 7). That means Cal 7 March 2012, Cal 8 March 2013, Cal 9 March 2014 (damn, that seems like a long ass time. Of course, this is assuming the Mayans weren’t right…sooner or later *some* conspiracy has to be right. Come on! Y2K was so disappointing.)   And, to continue, *one* more Trickster Novel has been contracted (which means if you haven’t been buying them…better bust your butt and scoop them up. Don’t blow their last chance), but before the Trixa and Leo lovers, the Zeke fan club–he has one all to himself as he’s such an entertaining sociopath, and the Zeke/ Griffin fans get...

Please join me (well, not me personally as I can’t chat on dial up and the Christian coffee house closes on the Sabbath, depriving me of WiFi…how Christian is that?) and dozens of your favorite authors at the 2011 Spring Fling at Writerspace on Sunday, March 27th from 8pm ET to 11pm ET. Authors will be dropping in to chat all during the evening and we will be giving away 100s of new books (and some are mine! You know you want them…neeeeeed them) and other fantastic prizes — 2 Kindles, autographed, hard-to-find, advance copies plus special treats like gift cards and more. We hope to see you Sunday night! You don’t have to be present to win, but you...

My best bud send me a celebration present as she does for every book release (for Chimera she gave me a stuffed ferret. For other books she sent me slightly more evil things) For this Cal book: BLACKOUT…if you don’t know the fork story within BLACKOUT, too late for you. I’m spoilin’ and t’aint no one can stop me. She sent me five forks with engraving on them. I wanted to send a picture but no matter what light you use (natural or flash) you just can’t see more than a third of the engraving. So I will describe. The first says: A fork in a puck is worth two in a hand and has a tiny fist clutching a fork with...

Two years ago, an author popped up out of the blue. She showed me where to get cheap bookmarks and promo items. She offered to throw my new release a contest on her website and she’s been nothing but the most kind and gracious and kick-ass friend since. Now her new book Con and Conjure is being released Tuesday the 29th and we want to get those engines revving! Con & Conjure is the latest in the Raine Benares series and I’m sure carries on the tradition of hilarity and action and sensitive goblin ears. I’m including some snippets of Con & Conjure here and if you wish to see sample chapters of the previous four books go here:...
