Polio, Dominican Friars, and Necon — A Mystery Solved

By Bob Booth On January 28, 2012 · 6 Comments

A TV show premiered on Fox Wednesday night, called “Touch.” It is about a boy who is autistic, doesn’t speak, but has the amazing ability to see all of existence as a mathematical construct. By simply following the number lines he can discover why things happened in the past and, more importantly, what will happen [...]

Bechtel’s Buckshot Blog: Having a Not-So-Blue Christmas

By Matt Bechtel On December 22, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Greetings again, one and all, and I apologize right off the bat if I’ve just put an Elvis Christmas carol into your heads.

This is our first new blog in over a month, and that’s not by accident or laziness or a lack of material — we decided to leave Bob’s last article up longer [...]

Out of the Cauldron, Onto the Page by Janet Joyce Holden

By Guest Blogger On October 25, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I’m not on the NYT Bestseller list (yet). I don’t get asked about agents, or whether my bank account is overflowing. But I do get asked about ideas, and more particularly – how I transform an idea into the written word.

Ideas are born of raw materials – words, images, people, places, music, memories – [...]

How to Reach A Cold Wind in July by Craig Shaw Gardner

By Guest Blogger On October 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Long ago and far away, horror anthologies were solid money makers. That may be hard to imagine today, when most anthologies and single-author collections are lucky if they find a home in the small press, but way back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, these books actually “earned out” (in other words, they made back the [...]

BECHTEL’S BUCKSHOT BLOG: Lions and Tigers and Hope

By Matt Bechtel On October 13, 2011 · 2 Comments

Minutes ago, the Detroit Tigers lost a heartbreaker in extra innings to the Texas Rangers to fall behind 3-1 in the ALCS (side note, I actually waited all day to post this blog to include tonight’s result, a decision I now sincerely regret).  Literally across the street from Comerica Field in downtown Detroit stands Ford [...]

Collaborating with Jeff Strand by James A. Moore

By Guest Blogger On October 3, 2011 · 4 Comments

I am, of course, appalled by Jeff Strand’s pack of lies. I can barely believe that he would have the audacity. This, after he begged me to let him work with me. I said no, of course. I mean, really, I hardly have the time to keep up with my deadlines and certainly I don’t [...]

Collaborating With James A. Moore by Jeff Strand

By Guest Blogger On September 26, 2011 · 8 Comments

The idea for my collaboration with James A. Moore began when I saw famous author Christopher Golden stagger out of his room at Necon, his eyes bloodshot and wide with fright. I’d never met Mr. Golden, but he grabbed my shirt by the collar and said “Whatever you do, do not — [...]

Bechtel’s Buckshot Blog

By Matt Bechtel On September 21, 2011 · 10 Comments

Not all blogs are created equally; some have a laser-like focus on a particular subject or theme, while others, well … they sorta ramble through various topics.  This would be my humble attempt at “column B,” as I throw out the literary equivalent of a handful of buckshot and hope a few shells find their [...]
