The Invasion Is About To Begin
Fun news this week from many directions:
First, at home, I feel like I’m writing the best book I’ve ever dreamed up in all aspects from plot to character to concept, scope, and pacing. That’s a good feeling. I hope to begin sharing some meaty tidbits about my Secret New Big Thriller soon and I apologize for the ever-lasting secrecy. The wheels in publishing turn at glaaaaaaacial speeds.
More soon.
Second, a few weeks ago I was contacted by Paul Cole at WRFR radio in Rockland, Maine. Paul hosts a sci-fi review program called Beam Me Up, and he asked if he could run a reading of my story “Long Eyes.”
Part I of the story ran last weekend; Part II is this Saturday. If you weren’t or won’t be in New England, you can also find Paul’s rendition on the Beam Me Up podcast here. Love the spooky piano. It’s also a well-considered delivery of the story itself.
Third, I have a new short story sale to a high-profile anthology but I’ve been sworn to secrecy by the editor for the next few weeks, I think because he (or is it she?) fears a deluge of slush submissions if there’s the slightest peep of what she (or he?) is up to. Ha.
You see? Writers are like secret agents, man! ;>
o/~ they givin’ you a number and takin’ away your name… o/~
…okay, Jeff, there’s one way writers *aren’t* like secret agents. And it’s probably a good thing. 007 would sell tons of books, but poor agent 9,851,742,603 would have some difficulty. (Besides, that would look *awful* on a book spine.)
(Sorry, had to, man, better than whining about your teasing.)

I know, I know, what a cruel-hearted tease, right? Just be glad you don’t *live* with me.
My deep cover operation code is Agent 8,251,003, btw.
