Okay, here’s the thing. If you don’t like/get Rocky Horror Picture Show, or MST3K, then you won’t get why the Sharknado franchise is so popular in the Twitter age. You just won’t. We KNOW it’s bad. That’s the point. It’s not a “viewing” experience. It’s a viewer-participation experience. The thing is, the first one was … Read More
Sharknado 2 TONIGHT!
Yes, it’s time for Sharknado 2: The Second One TONIGHT on SyFy. (I still say the subtitle should have been “The Great White Way” in honor of Broadway. LOL) So, for your viewing pleasure, I present a cat in a shark outfit riding a Roomba. You’re welcome.

Witty Wednesday: “Star Trekkin'” song.
Yes, I’m on a Dr. Demento kick. Shut. Up. You’re welcome. (Click here if the video doesn’t show up in your email.)
Wow. Amazon, reality-challenged, much?
Okay, let me state up front, I am NOT an Amazon hater. Nor am I a “hater” of Hachette. I hate stupidity. I make a majority of my sales via Amazon. I would say that 75% of my earnings probably come from there. So I’m no rabid-anti-‘Zonian, at all. (And believe me, that’s not anywhere close to … Read More
Tuesday Chuckle: The Scotsman song.
Here’s another classic for you to bring you a smile. The classic song, “The Scotsman.” (Click here if the video doesn’t display in your email.)
The one where I rant about a thieving small press.
I’m sick and tired of predatory small presses. They’re worse than trad-pub sometimes, because they make you think they’re your “friend” while they fuck you over. http://writeyourassoff.blogspot.com/2014/07/would-you-stay-with-abuser.html
Monday Funny: “Wet Dream” by Kip Addotta
Here’s a laugh to start your Monday off right. If you’ve never heard of this one before, it’s “Wet Dream” by Kip Addotta. (Yes, it’s work-safe and relatively kid-friendly.) But prepare for the evil earwig. LOL (Click here if the video doesn’t show up in your email.) Google Dr. Demento for even more great songs … Read More
YES! Bye-bye bro-country!
This. Is. EPIC. THIS is the kind of country music I would like to see waaay more of. (Yes, Little Big Town is another that gets it right more than they get it wrong.) I grew up on country music but stopped listening to it years ago when it started pretty much all sounding the … Read More

(Yes, I know the other third-party sites are slower than my ass before a cuppa in the morning, but my … Read More

Kindle Unlimited: Another point.
Here’s another blog to add onto my one about Kindle Unlimited from the other day. This came out on Publishers Lunch today and is another good point I hadn’t even thought about yet. http://lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2014/07/daily-update-influence-kindle-unlimited-amazon-bestsellers-grows/ Thoughts? Anyone using KDP Select seeing any traction for their titles now that KU is live and active?

Welcome to the apupcalypse.
Apparently all my current work on my Drunk Monkeys series has Gidget a little nervous. She’s picked out her shotgun shells for the coming apupcalypse and is getting herself ready. Because, ya know, every apupcalypse requires a box (or five) of shotgun shells and your trusty sock monkey dog bed… But then… I awoke this … Read More
