This is a post I’ve been meaning to do for a while now, considering all the traveling I’ve been doing with work and such. I got the urge again after a recent Anchored Author post by Tracy, so hopefully this will come in useful to a few people, but...

So I'm gearing up for the fabulous annual San Diego Comic Book Convention. I went once, a billion years ago and then had a billion year gap for no real reason, before returning again. Four years ago, a friend convinced me to go down (pros get in free and I'd just become one so, for gas/motel fare,...

In 1929, being the first English language version I've been able to find, A.S. Eddington wrote, "... If I let my fingers wander idly over the keys of a typewriter it might happen that my screed made an intelligible sentence. If an army of monkeys were strumming on typewriters they might...

by Jack, your bony fido newshound.
The dog who keeps track of the plot.

I went to a party last night and met a lot of interesting people. Someone asked me about the kind of books I write and when I said, "Crime fiction," he remarked, "You must see a lot of films for research." Well, he was right, but only partly so. I see a lot of films, but not...

So, it's been awhile since I've blogged here and even longer since I've had a Novel 101 post. Lots of reasons for this, but no good excuses.
The quote above is from my favorite Shakespeare play, King Lear. And, the point of it has been made clear to me yet again. (That's one of the totally cool...

I am still amazed by how many letters I have received from individuals who told me that they parted ways with their employer after reading one of my books. The first letter or two I received in this regard made me feel somewhat uncomfortable, at the same time hoping that no one would sue me with a...

Time for assessment I think. It’s been a few weeks since I last posted, in that time I’ve completed the first nine chapters, totaling 55,643 words. I’ve had it tidied up by an...
