Not Just Another Year?

Written by glenn on January 3, 2016 · Leave a Comment

I have this feeling, this premonition, or perhaps it’s just a hope that 2016 is going to be a biggie. Already two of my books, Turnabout is Fatal Play and Decease and Desist, are available in paperback from Amazon. Within the first couple of months of this new year the […]

Books, Real and Imaginary

Written by glenn on December 7, 2015 · Leave a Comment

I have long been a champion of eBooks. Not that I had anything against “real” books, mind you. The only reason I got my first Kindle was that I’d run out of room for real books. I have at least one bookshelf in every room of my house, including the […]

Going “Real Book”

Written by glenn on November 9, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Let’s get the Breaking News out of the way: The entire McCall-Malone Mystery series is going to be available in print! Which is to say, existing in the real world: On actual paper, available to be bought in a bookstore, checked out of a library, held in your hand, given […]

Three Kindles and Counting

Written by glenn on September 8, 2015 · Leave a Comment

I didn’t buy my first Kindle because I was all hot to read words on a screen instead of on the page. I didn’t—and still—don’t enjoy reading material on my PC monitor and I figured the Kindle would be about the same. I bought it because I have bookshelves in […]

…For My Age

Written by glenn on May 17, 2015 · Leave a Comment

On Facebook the other day one of my writer friends was complaining about men who brag that they’re in good shape when they obviously are no longer in the prime of life. I responded that I often say I’m in good shape…for my age…and she agreed that that’s the right […]

My OBE (Out-of-Body Experience)

Written by glenn on April 19, 2015 · 1 Comment

I’ve always wanted to see a ghost. Not because I think it would be that much fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if it caused me to scream shrilly and piss myself. But it would be interesting to have some confirmation that weird, supposedly supernatural stuff (along with the truth) is […]

Editing Can Be Boring, Exciting, Scary, and Fun

Written by glenn on March 25, 2015 · Leave a Comment

So I take a day off from editing to write a blog post about editing. Hmm. I’ll probably regret it tomorrow, when I’m back to editing again, but here goes anyway…. Editing is work. I didn’t even mention that in title, because it’s kind of a given. But, really, it’s […]

My One Big “Stop the Presses” Story

Written by glenn on February 22, 2015 · Leave a Comment

STOP THE PRESSES! It’s a cliché of ‘40s newspaper movies and early TV shows, right? Nobody ever actually yelled “Stop the Presses!” Well, yes, I know of at least one time…. It was the summer of 1967 and I was home in Evansville, Indiana, between getting my degree in […]

And One More for the New Year

Written by glenn on January 26, 2015 · Leave a Comment

I expect to finish the draft of DYING OF DESIRE, the fourth book in the McCall-Malone Mystery series, within a few weeks. So I’ve decided to follow up last month’s teaser with one more before publication…sometime in April maybe? We’ll see. Anyway, here you go…. The three of us stopped […]
