The lucky winners of our drawing for brand-new copies of the University of Chicago Press reprint of The Hunter are: Luke S. Craig C. David M. Stephen R. Congratulations! I have e-mailed all of you. Get back to me with your mailing address and I’ll try to get them out this week. Thank you […]
Thanks to the generosity of Parker flash fiction contest winner Matt Racicot, I have four, count ’em, four brand-spanking-new copies of the University of Chicago edition of The Hunter to give away. Here’s the catch, and it’s based on the honor system–you must not already have a copy of The Hunter. You […] I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have pitched in since I asked for help in supporting the site. If you’ve made a PayPal donation: PayPal is for some reason not notifying me when donations are received. Because of this, I only have the names, not the e-mail addresses, of those […] I’ve resisted trying to make any money off of this site for as long as its been around, which is a little odd given that it’s all about a guy who is constantly trying to get money.

We are not unrelated atoms, bouncing and ricocheting amid aliens, but are a part of something, which holds and sustains us. As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December’s bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in […] It’s been just over two weeks since I started my Twitter account, and so far I’m very pleased. It provides me with an easy way to share information with you without cluttering up the blog with things that may not interest you. I already think of it as a very important part of […] |
