No Longer Fishing

Which means I'm back. Strangely, after three weeks of limited internet access, I haven't had much of a desire to get back in the cyber-swing of things. Right now, I'm pretty happy playing lots of guitar. Witness the latest addition to my tools of procrastination:

A Half-Life Long Dream Achieved!

Remember when I talked about my desires for a National Steel guitar? The kind of guitar that costs whole people's yearly salaries to ship to the sunburnt shores of Australia? Well, in the last couple of days, I discovered to my absolute and goose-pimple-inducing delight, that I could purchase one of these beautiful beasts for about half the price I would expect in my home country. So, I did it.… Continue

News From Around The Interweb

Sure, I'm still firmly entrenched in hibernation mode, watching lots of episodes of The Outer Limits and drinking a responsible amount of absinthe, but that doesn't mean I don't have at least one eye to the cyber playground commonly referred to as "the internet." * Spinetingler magazine has just put out its Summer 2008 issue, which of course confuses me and my Antipodean biological clock (it's winter here, dammit!). Still, with fiction of all lengths (as long as they're short) coming from the l… Continue

I Was Born In The Wrong Decade

I'm sure this would have been cheaper in the late 30s. Right now, I'd have to kill for it.
I'm thinking about it. Continue

Happy 1st Birthday To Crimespace

When I started CrimeSpace on March 4th 2007, I didn't see it living past the six month mark. I certainly didn't see it hitting over 1000 members or winning any awards either. I just saw a hole in the crime fictio… Continue

New Author Directory On Crimespace

Something I've been wanting to do with Crimespace from the beginning was to make it simple for people to find all the authors on board. Up until now there hasn't been any easy way to do this. So I decided to finally get off my butt (or on it), put my programming hat on and come up with something I hope you'll all like. But it's going to need a little work from members.

If you're a reader, there's nothing for you to do other than click on the Authors tab at the top of the… Continue

To kick it off, this year's theme is 'Australia'.
