The Scum Also Rises

June 7, 2016

It’s been a couple months since we’ve heard from the Panama Papers, the 11.5 million documents extracted from the Panamanian law firm of Mossack Fonseca, and detailing the financial shenanigans of the rich, famous, and connected.

June 7, 2016

“There would be absolutely nothing wrong with that except for the fact that absolutely everything is wrong with that.” You may have seen this already, but I thought it deserves as wide an audience as it can get, so here it is. There are all sorts of ways to buy debt in our country, and […]

Greatest

June 4, 2016

So, who was the greatest martial artist of the 20th Century? Here’s a clue: he died last night. There are always going to be arguments about who could beat who, under what circumstances, under what rules.  Maybe Joe Louis (or Joe Lewis) could have beaten Ali in the ring, maybe someone named Gracie or Silva […]

Champagne When I’m Thirsty

June 3, 2016

So last night I dreamed that I went fishing in the Jémez with Muddy Waters.  Howlin’ Wolf and BB King were along, but I was mostly hanging with Muddy.  He loaned me his Pocket Fisherman, and I pulled in some beautiful blue-and-gold butterfly fish, which is not exactly what you expect from a New Mexico […]

My 99-cent sale on Hardwired is entering its final hours.  Officially the sale ends at midnight Friday night, but (as sales remain brisk) I’ll likely keep the sale going until sales un-brisk themselves.

One Week to Go

May 25, 2016

Just a reminder that the StoryBundle is still available, but will disappear after one week. And, to remind again, you pay what you want.  Name your own price for Errantry: Strange Stories by Elizabeth Hand, Lewis Shiner’s Collected Stories, and my own Green Leopard Plague and Other Stories. But if you pay at least $12, you get five […]

I assume iBooks will have it soon, but […]

Smokestack Lightning

May 20, 2016

Heading into the weekend, let’s flash back to 1965, when the Rolling Stones consented to appear on the American music program Shindig (created and hosted by Jack Good, who was English).  This sort of prime time Bandstand show wasn’t really the Stones’ kind of thing, but they consented to appear only on condition that Howlin’ Wolf […]
