Video Thursday: Because Rules Are Meant to Be Broken
They asked me to do some promotional videos for my book. I came up with these instead. Life is too short not to have your legs eaten by legwarmers. I’m inclined to name them The Electric Blue Boogaloo. Part One: Part Two: Part Three: Part ...
Got Me a Book. Got Me a Website. Got Me a Giant Dance Party.
Okay, folks. This is where we start the self-promotion machine. I’m looking at it right now and it’s rusty and corroded and clearly falling apart at the seams. Nonetheless, I shall grab my proverbial gas can, fill the tank, pull the cord, let ‘er rip, and see where she takes me. So first and foremost, [...]

Perhaps you’d like to do Pierre ala Ezra Jack Keats or Outside Over There in the style of Marcia Brown. All power to you. Whatever you prefer, if you think this is [...]
