P.T. Hylton speaketh again!
I love this guy, something about him. He’s just cool. I liked him before he read my book and 5 starred it, and did the contest where he gives away 4 in an entire month, but whatever, now I love him like a billion times more….hmm, maybe I need to walk that back a little. I like him like a neighbor who lives across the street, firm handshakes only, manly head nods like “yo man, mad props” and “sup” and “I enjoy ultimate fighting, how about you?”
Check out his latest video — lots of fun.

Funniest short story I’ve ever read — in my life…
Mike Resnick wrote a story for “Beyond the Sun”, an anthology with a ton of great authors. I’ve only read his story, titled, “Observation Post”.
Hat Tip to Carol Kean for bringing this to my attention. I now feel like giving up writing, it was so good. But I won’t, there’s too much money in being an indie author. Next week, if things go the way I hope with my sales in the United States and Europe, I’m hoping to buy some gum. Not just any gum, either: Hubba Bubba. That’s right baby…
Clare Boothe Luce / “No good deed goes unpunished”
Clare Boothe Luce. This woman’s writing makes me green with jealousy. A real mover and shaker, she nixes the “his” right out of “history”.
2 quotes (go to the site to see more):
* All autobiographies are alibi-ographies.
here’s another…
* Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but unlike charity, it should end there.
Sounds like something Mark Twain would have said, right? According to Ask.com, the phrase has been attributed to Oscar Wilde and to Clare Booth Luce but the origin is actually not known. Of course I’m sidetracked now by this woman, her many witty quotes (I have been too involved with living to write much – or well – about life) and her little-known fight for the Jewish people.
Clare Boothe Luce (March 10, 1903 — October 9, 1987)

A Connecticut journalist writes:
…..Luce, who passed away in 1987, is usually remembered for her accomplishments in the theatrical world and, especially, for advancing the role of women in politics. But her outspoken support of Holocaust rescue and Jewish statehood, and her key role in making the “Jewish vote” a part of American political culture, add a new dimension to the legacy of…

That Guy… Who Was in That Thing (2012)
This was an awesome documentary.
Director:
Ian Roumain
Michael Schwartz
Starring:
Xander Berkeley
Bruce Davison
Craig Fairbrass
Timothy Omundson
Plot:
Documentary about sixteen actors who detail their ups and downs as they struggle to forge careers in Hollywood. They’ve played cops, lawyers, bosses, best friends, psychopaths, politicians and everything in between. Now you’ll know who they are.
Review:
This was a great documentary. So much information and I enjoyed figuring out where I’d seen everyone. I also noticed a parallel between character actors and mid-list authors. A lot of the time they have to work part time jobs while pursuing their passions.
Timothy Omundson looks younger with a beard somehow and super sexy.
Everyone’s in Star Trek.
4/5

Ten People You Don’t Want To Meet At a Writer’s Group

What a great morning
I just found out my humorous short story “He Will Lead Us” was published in an anthology with David Gerrold. The David Gerrold. The guy who wrote Star Trek’s famous episode “Trouble With Tribbles”. The guy who wrote the “War Against the Chtorr” series. The guy who wrote the most amazing psychological suspense/sci-fi story ever: “Starhunt”. And now he’s the guy who’s in the same frickin’ anthology as me.
I’m feeling verklempt.

It’s my blog, and I’ll post dog pictures if I want to ( :P )
Ok, this is our dog, Shadowfax. We named him around the time the LOTR movies came out.
I normally don’t post dog pictures but it’s sort of a funny one, and who doesn’t like funny?
