Coming Attractions: Gerry Conway

Gerry Conway, a most excellant writer of comics when I was still reading them, and numerous TV shows after I stopped watching TV, will be paying us a visit. This is the same Gerry Conway who co-created The Punisher and killed off Peter Parker's gal Gwen Stacy, not the Gerry Conway who drummed for Jethro Tull... Stay tuned.

Death by Blogging

Some months ago, Aardwolf Publishing's Jim Reeber warned me that blog addiction was dysfunctioning my already erratic fiction jones and scared the bejezus out of me. I watched as little bejezus dripped out of my pant leg, dashed across the floor and dove beneath the couch where it sat biting its nails next to an old, ratty slipper. Warned thus, I exercised the better part of valor and beat a hasty retreat back to the ribboned typer only to discover precious little fiction was forthcoming anyway. Alas. But the good news is that IDW Publishing will soon release my SF novella Billboards with some lovely illustrations by Dave Gutierrez (pictured pre-color) and a new introduction by science fiction Grand Master Robert Silverberg. And rumor has it that Gerry Conway (the nifty author and creator of the Punisher, not the drummer for Cat Stevens and Jethro Tull) ordered a copy of Meth, Colan and Other Theologians, presumably for the illustrations by Gene Colan.

And you can order one, too.
