- Brian Freeman, author and Cemetery Dance... err... do-all-sorts-of-things dude, has announced that he has started a new blog "to discuss writing, editing, reading, and the publishing business". If you like discussions on any of that, especially pertaining to Cemetery Dance Publications, then you'll want to keep an eye on it here.
- Ray Garton already has a blog, amusingly titled "Preposterous Twaddlecock", where he discusses everything from religious matters to the stories behind his various books. But now apparently he has a bona fide website, "with a message board where [he]’ll be hanging out, information about and links to [his] books online as well as links to interviews, a full bibliography, and starting in the last week of September [...] contests and book giveaways." Giveaways you say? Sounds like a website to keep track of. Visit it here.
- Lastly (and slightly late), Ed Kurtz author of the fun, Henenlotter-like Bleed, announced a few weeks ago that he was starting another blog, this time featuring a free serial novel: Sawbones. From the synopsis:
In the summer of 1865, a man who calls himself Dr. Septimus Whitehall arrives in war-ravaged Southern Alabama with murder on his mind. Whitehall has come to make himself into a killer, armed only with a list of names and a savage rage. First, he practices his craft. Then he begins his mission in earnest: killing each and every person on his list in revenge for an ambiguous crime against a loved one.
I guess that's serial in more than one way... Keep an eye on the semi-regular installments here (links to all the chapters so far can be found here).
It's alive!
Well, almost.This blog was a little project I maintained from the beginning of 2009 to the end of 2011. I made a few friends through it, got more than a few free books, then took it all down after real life intruded to a degree that made it all feel too difficult. (Despite informing some author publicity agents of this - more than once - some of them kept blindly sending books. I wonder if their clients realise how hopeless they are? One of them even started sending medical thrillers - Googling for "doctor blogs" appeared to be the limit of their publicity skills.)
A while ago I found my old The Doctor Is In archive, and thought I might as well have it sitting there in "zombie mode". Gradually I'll be restoring my old posts. Even the cringe-worthy ones, of which there are many. I may even get back into the swing of things and post some news.
Alas, my old address (dochorror.blogspot.com) has been taken over by a squatter, and they've populated their blog with content stolen from various other blogs. Seriously, even their "Welcome!" blurb is stolen from Horror Movie A Day. Fucking leeches.
