A new novel from Scott Phillips

Scott Phillips is one hell of a writer. Ice Harvest remains one of my favorite novels, and Cottonwood prooved he could take his skills in new, amazing directions.

Now you need to check out his new dystopic novel Rut. But you can't just pop into your local Borders and buy it. Why? Check out this interesting experiment in publishing.

Thanks, NPR

National Public Radio and author Ron Currie were kind enough to include Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse in the "Three Books" section of the NPR website. Thanks! Check it out HERE.

Brace yourself!

Bad things happen to people in these stories.

'Sup, mofos ?

This is a blog post.

So I sat down in the mood to write a blog post. Thing is I have no idea what to blog about.

Maybe I'll start out by reminding you to buy some things. THE DEPUTY is a few months old now, but I still consider it my "new" novel, so I'll remind you guys that it exists. I've gotten a lot of good feedback from readers. Thanks. You guys rule.

And if you have a Kindle and a a dollar 99 in change between the couch cushions, you can check out something I wrote a long, long time ago. If you're curious check it out here. If you enjoyed Vampire A Go-Go then it might be right up your alley.

Bring money.

The last two weeks have been a hard slug in the funny book mines. I'll be scripting more this weekend, but I'm no longer in EMERGENCY DEADLINE MODE. I'll take the computer out grill-side and work there. Maybe jump in the pool.

I've got lots of stuff in the hopper. People looking at screenplays, reading sample pages, talking about my novels over Hollywood lunches. But it all seems really far away. Lots of sitting and waiting to pass or pull the trigger.

My wife won't let me have an iPhone. "You check e-mail too much already!"

So ... whassup in your world?
