Not enough time. The forever growing stack of to-reads will never be tamed due to this one simple fact. Though I read every day, sometimes for hours at a time, I'm never able to get to all of the books I feel deserve to be read. With that, I bring you this short list of to-reads that I own already but have, embarrassingly, not had the chance to read. Why this post? Perhaps to keep me honest. Or, perhaps a way to get a few people to comment with variations of "what?" and "how could you?" To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Is my procrastination justified? No. This book was required reading in high school, yet I managed to coast by with barely even cracking the spine. Back then I was not into reading. I existed on a steady intellectual diet of video games and Family Guy. Even if the message…

For this post, so graciously hosted by Tom Williams, author of the incredible The Mimic's Own Voice, I was going to take the title of his book literally and write something verbatim from one of Tom's previous posts. But then I realized that such a thing would be stupid. Instead I write about something that I feel I am always defending, so I figure it's time I write a post about it.

Author bio photos often seem to me as stuffy, strangely manicured posturing that is supposed to be a way to connect the reader to the author (and drive sales), but do they work? I'm not sure. However, they are good for displaying humorous captions. Check some out today at Chris Deal's blog. Click here to read the guest post.

I've been awful about posting notices here telling all you lovely people when I have a new blog tour post go live. And today's (yesterday's) failure on my part is especially effed up, as the infamous and aesthetically mysterious xTx has allowed me a day on her blog. See if I ever get invited back. I write about my inherent, and unnecessary, need to turn everything I say into something potentially humorous. Success or no, I'm addicted. Click here to read the guest post.

The wonderfully talented Kristin Fouquet offers some space at her blog today where I write a bit about how dead body clean up has become more and more popular over the last few years.

Steve Urkel. I need not say more. But I will. Steve Urkel = nerd. Stephan Urquelle = smooth, respected, man. What's the difference? Looks. And what does this have to do with fiction writing?

I can't believe I failed to notify everyone about this new Blog Tour post that went live on Bradely Sands' site a couple of days ago. I should be killed. I try to be open to hilarity everywhere in life. Sometimes, I don't have to look far. At Bradley Sands' blog today I provide a list of quotes, take verbatim, from a documentary on the Discovery channel called, simply, Sex Robot. Here's a taste: Delosian: “You know that…Snow White, singing about ‘someday my prince will come.’ Well, someday my android will come, damn-it.” Again, these are 100% real. Don't miss out.
