If books can have birthdays, today is it. April Fools Day notwithstanding (ou poisson d’avril, si vous préférez), I believe today is the day when Deadroads hits the proverbial shelves. I say “believe” because, well. I don’t quite believe it, not really. It’s been so very long coming, I feel as though Deadroads was written […]
I’m a little bit of a word nerd. It’s the way I was raised–Dad was all about the correct use of grammar. Use the word “hopefully” incorrectly and watch him wig out.

I should be seeing […]
Finally, another reason to celebrate all things green. Well, okay, there are no leprechauns, only devils. And the cover is primarily blue, not green. However, eBooks can be considered green, can’t they?
After a long, long road, the eBook version of Deadroads has finally gone live. If I had an e-reader, I’d order one. Really, I’m […]
Well, colour me dumbfounded. Science website io9 selected Deadroads an “essential” read for 2014.
