I should probably get more involved on this site. but then I saw the word WHORING and I just had to put my 2 cents in... regardless of how those pennies were earned. :)
It's a craft book, with tutorials and what not, but there are some good essays speckled in there, including mine (credited Renee Asher). I wrote about Nintendo and Atari becoming fashion statements.
Also, I was a regular contributor to this website: http://www.geekcrafts.com that was one of the sites that inspired the above book. I may be going back to the site in the New Year.

Solarcide just underwent a pretty heavy makeover in time to coincide with a very cool development.
Mr Nathan Pettigrew (nathan here, claudelives at the cult) is now my offical partner in crime. He's going to be joining me in the quest to make the site an awesome hideout for writers. We have some cool plans for special guest content for the future. Also, Nathan's stories are linked up in the Published Work section.
Would love for you peoples to take a peek.
Would love it even more if you subscribe to the site.
I'm rebuilding the links page at the moment, you guys that have websites may very well find you way onto the list.
And please remember we are always going to be happy to look at guest content, so if you think you have something that might suit then feel free to send it over.

Thrilled to announce that I'll have a short story collection coming out with Snubnose Press in 2012. Still working on the title, but it will definitely be my noir and neo-noir leaning work. Maybe even a story you've never seen before. SP is doing great work with Sandra Ruttan, Keith Rawson, Nik Korpon, Craig Wallwork and others. This will be an eBook only, no print.

Martin Garrity and I have some great news regarding Solarcide—We conducted an interview with Caleb J. Ross, author of Stranger Will—a novel that shocked and impressed readers upon release in March of this year. Mr. Ross has since received a notable amount of attention and critical acclaim, and more importantly, he’s seen his reader base expand.
His new novel, I Didn’t Mean to be Kevin, is available this month, and the author behind "domestic grotesque" was gracious enough to discuss his work with us in great detail. You can read our interview right here.

Speaking of which,

Btw, we are having a secret santa book draw in another thread. If you want to trust your fellow literati to choose a book for you, you buy someone a book and they buy you one. The price limit is 15 dollars so it won't cost a lot out of pocket or you could even send them a book you already have. The only real requirement is that it is transgressive/dark fiction. It will be fun, consider signing up under the Secret Santa thread. Deadline is Dec. 12th. (this would also be a nice way to support the writers of litreactor who Brandon mentions above by buying their books and gifting them).
