According to my just hastily-completed calculations I have now seen eleven movies that were released theatrically in 2010. Does seeing eleven make me qualified to give you my top ten?

But why would I live one out? Here they are: My Top ELEVEN Movies for 2010:

1-   Winter's Bone
2-   Toy Story 3
3-   Inception
4-   The Social Network
5-   The Kids Are All Right

6-   The Town
7-   The Losers
8-   Shutter Island
9-   Iron Man 2
10- The Killer Inside Me

11- The Book of Eli

So there you have it. I am pathetic. Once I see the rest of the movies I'd like to see from this year -- Get Low and True Grit high among them -- I'm sure the list has changed. But I've still only seen 23 movies from last year.

Pathetic indeed.

Perfect Christmas present?!? Sure!!

So I've been away from the blog for a bit.

Where've I been? 

I've been hitting three of the four stops on what I have dubbed the National Hint Fiction Book Tour!

Stop One:

Aaron's Books in lovely Lititz, PA (hometown of anthology editor Robert Swartwood). Here I am signing books with a group of my fellow contributors:

Haven't updated in quite a while (I know, I know). Apologies.

Anyway.

Pretty good weekend for me, writing-wise:

On Saturday, my hint fiction piece "No Joy in Melville" earned an honorable mention in the Washington Post Style Invitational Hint Fiction Contest.

Then, on Sunday, I received word that my superhero story "Dinner Guest" was selected to appear in Static Movement's Powers: A Superhero Anthology, edited by Jay Faulkner. This one should be out in the next couple of months -- here's a sneaky-peek at a pretty nice cover:

It's back!!

So I've been monkeying around with Amazon's DTP formatting, and I finally got it figured out (mostly) -- Things to Come is now available for Kindle.

I still need to figure out chapter breaks, that sort of thing, before I start producing Kindle editions of A Thousand Faces -- but we're almost there.

The cover art for the No More Heroes superhero fiction anthology has surfaced:





My story "The Half of It" is included. Look for this one at some point this fall / winter from Library of the Living Dead Press.
