Though today's post over at the We Who Are About to Die blog isn't an officially scheduled stop on my blog tour, it is still a guest post and it went live during my tour, so there! I talk about what it's like to be a daddy author, as a contribution to We Who Are About to Die's We Who Are About to Breed series. Click here to read the guest post.

Authors and booze go together like authors and self-destructive tendencies. Also, apparently like poorly articulated analogies. A great book on the subject is A Drinking Companion: Alcohol and Writers' Lives. A great blog post on the subject of alcohol and authors is today's tour stop at the PANK blog.

Today brings me to the site of an apparently data kindred. Matt Tuckey's blog dabbles in talk of data and analytics, which is right where my head is at most of the day. I love data. And as a natural point of embarrassment, I have no friends (probably because I proudly announce that I love data). Over at Tuckey's blog, I highlight a few data trends using my own Google Analytics data. Click here to read the guest post.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c Borders Goes Out of Business www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor & Satire Blog The Daily Show on Facebook I've been writing a lot about the live author reading lately. Maybe because I'm heavy into promoting two books, and the live reading has become more and more common for me. Or because I think the live reading is a swell time and others should share in that swellness. Today's post at Shome Dasgupta's blog talks about how to be a good live reading audience member. Read it. Act on it. Just don't watch the depressing (yet hilarious) video above from The Daily Show in which John Hodgman and Jon Stewart discuss Borders going out of business.

Today I am honored to have a bit of page space at Paul Tremblay's blog. Paul's collection, In the Meantime, was one of my absolute favorite reads of 2010. He's a frequent poster over at The Velvet, and an all around nice guy. He even recorded an episode of The Velvet Podcast with me, but tech complications made the episode unfortunately unusable. Damn shame, too. Maybe I'll get him to let me try again in the future. Click here to read the guest post. Also, don’t forget that if you comment on all guest blog posts, you will get free stuff.

For those of you out there fortunate enough to know Mlaz Corbier, you'll know that he's a bit of nut (in the best possible way), which makes me wish I would have written a crazier post for his blog during my Stranger Will Tour for Strange. Though, I think Mlaz would say that me admitting to liking The DaVinci Code (in terms of story, not writing) is plenty crazy. Click here to read the guest post.

Cannoli Pie editor Stephen Krauska (@cannolipie or @unRonic or UnRonic) asked me to be a guest editor at Cannoli Pie for the August issue. Amazing man; I ask for a tour stop on his blog and he offers an entire guest house for a month. I'm honored. I reached out to a few writers I know whom I believe represent various aspects of an aesthetic I've been slowly coming to understand over the last few years as being desirable both as a reader and a writer. It's a good feeling, to finally being to understand one's comfortable context. This month Cannoli Pie presents work from Nik Korpon, Craig Wallwork Pablo D'Stair, Brandon Tietz, and Richard Thomas, as well as a short Letter from the Editor, starring me!
