Excuses, excuses. Basically this week was a combination of large projects at the day job, another writing project due in a few days, and my just not felling it. I’ve got a whole bunch on deck but no promises. In the meantime I did get a response from Barry Hoffman at Gauntlet Press about that CD. You can read the details at the link below.

• A little bit of detail on the CD that came with the lettered edition of Through Shattered Glass

There are updates this week but you just can’t see them here. Turns out I never actually published last week’s update post so I just combined last week’s and this weeks into the now published March 8th post. The next update with new content will be on the 22nd.

In the meantime check out Dean’s recent interview as part of the Tucson Festival of Books by clicking on the image below.

What’s here is week may seem a little random but eagle-eyed readers will notice that most of it is fanzine content. Minor content I will admit, but this means I’m starting to dig through “that box” of content. Some of it is easy, like the items below, while others are way more complex, like letters responding to letters responding to letters. That takes time to just figure out how I can work it into this site’s format. So, I’m releasing this week’s updates early in the morning this week, with more “bigger” content set up for next week. Enjoy, and thanks for paying attention.

• The 2nd Coming: The Best of Pirate Writings Vol. 2 to Appendix D
• Cover of The Old Dark House #2 to the Demon Seed film page.
• Cleaned up the “A Mouse in the Walls of the Global Village” page
