I choose a random-record from the goodwill boxes as my thrifting soundtrack.
This week it was Charlie Rich's "Every Time You Touch Me (I Get High)"
An album whose core message is Charlie Rich really wants to have sex with you... a lot.
Made for oddly awkward shopping. #thriftshop

Got the proof copy of my new collection, "It's Dark in Here." From Dragon's Roost Press. The dedication, intro, and cover art still need to be added but I got to hold my book in my hands (until my daughter stole it) and that is incredibly cool!

My favorite cover from the BH&G Creative Cooking series. Filled with recipes to make strong man flinch. Such as "Cheese-Frosted Lunchmeat" and the near-Lovecraftian splendor of "Perfection Salad." Not to mention the haunting cover shot of that 4 pound glowing log of spit-roasted bologna.

I bought myself a thing
Of course, soon I'll find that my necklace allows me to write best-selling novels. I'll tell my friend and Stoker nominated author Douglas Gwilym about it. He'll kill me to get it and discover all he can write is how he killed me to get my necklace.
