This is about the extent of my sweet swaying, thank you very much.

Not directly DS-related, but if you've enjoyed DREAMS OF THE DARK or any of my other spooky fiction, you might enjoy my upcoming collection of short fiction from Dark Regions specialty press.



It's due for an April release. You can get more info, including how to order, at my Web site book page: http://www.stephenmarkrainey.com/othergods.htm

Thanks for that, Midnite. What a pleasure to read.

Have a shocking new year. 

To now, I have not, but I have the feeling I'm Going to.

Say what you will, but whatever her online charms, I have it on good authority that Midnite goes to DS events and stuffs cats into attendees' suitcases so that when they get home, they get a rude shock.



Furthermore, I understand she named her teddy bear Roger D., specifically to incite legions of DS fans to protest and grab their own hair. I find this latter behavior particularly heinous.

I know some here are concerned about the WGA strike and how it will impact TV schedules, movies, etc. While I don't have a personal stake in the WGA strike per se, as someone who writes professionally, and being an active member of the Horror Writers Association, I do have an interest in seeing the writers prevail in this situation. Just like the major corporations in Hollywood, literary publishers are beginning to insert clauses in their contracts that deprive writers of any income made on electronic/digital sales. Right now, there's virtually no money being made there, so no one's made much of a stink yet. But it will be coming, somewhere down the road.

This video is hysterical -- and pretty much says it all:
