We had one of those apple corers like in this pic. It had a suction cup to keep it stuck to the counter. I thought, “Am I strong enough to pull it off the counter?” Guess what? I was! And I sliced up my hand in the process. I was, like, 12. So old enough to know better but too young to stop myself

North Wales, PA. This picture doesn't do justice to the absolutely insane traffic light leading into/out of this lot, which lets out on a very busy 4-lane highway (which is itself an expressway up until it suddenly isn't, right in front of this shopping center), and the light also has an exit ramp?

I have a couple of print galleys of my novel THE FRANCHISE, which is being published by Tor in May. If you are a reviewer or an indie bookstore and would like a copy, let me know! I don’t have a ton but I’m willing to ship what I have!

Nothing but respect to a used bookstore chock full of mass market paperbacks.
(This is Wee Book Inn in Edmonton. I bought Streets of Laredo.)

Packing my daughter for camp and going through our old CDs for her to take with her. (She can’t bring an iPod but can use a portable CD player there.) Came across this gem. Absolutely wild collection of songs, perfect for the dude in 1998 who enjoyed Backstreet Boys and Radiohead in equal measure.

Great news, because my novel is, in fact, about a real dummy (more than one in fact)
