As is often the case, I have found that writing begets writing. I’m now on summer vacation, from my real job as a teacher, but I am finding myself busier than ever. I am now 2000 words into my next novel, which is cool after only one day’s writing. I also have picked up a few contracts writing some articles, mostly business, but also some social media things as well. Finally, I have found more time to blog, email and Tweet with my new iPhone, so it has really opened up a whole new world. Very cool. The more I write, the more I want to write, the more I have to say. I will keep you posted on the details of the new novel soon.
No, that is not a typo – I did not mean to say Audiobooks, buy AudioBoo, an interesting service that makes your iPhone a podcasting platform. Once you have installed the App, you can record a three minute clip and it will be sent to the AudioBoo web page for all to listen.

Hey everybody,

Now, I feel I should warn you, it is about vasectomies. Specifically mine.
You see, I think there are [...]
While visiting the new “Science of Spying” exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre, I was delighted to come across a display on evading facial recognition cameras. While the display was ostensibly about spies in the James Bond sense of the word, this section was definitely more “urban guerrilla” in its tone. From the Exhibit:
“Simple face [...]

Hello People!
So, as you might have noticed by now, I do not have a huge marketing team behind me. In fact, the marketing team consists of me, which is difficult. I could use some help.
I’d love some help spreading the word about Lost Gods, and so, I am having another contest. It’s pretty simple, really. [...]
