Never taunt a wizard

Man .. I love this show.

Can I write for this show?

Call me, Venture people.

A sign of the Apocalypse? Not really.

But it is nice to see that Sean Doolittle has updated his website after several long years.

Go here.

Yes, it's another clip from the apocalypse -- Zoidberg edition

Yet another clip from the apocalypse ... Stephen King / Blue Oyster Cult edition

I do fear the reaper.

I DO!

Whaaaaaaaa .... (rub eyes) .... Whaaaaaaa?

It seems I've been nominated for an Anthony Award. I would like to humbly thank the people involved in making this happen. I'm overwhelmed and grateful. Truly.

Having already lost an Edgar Award, I'm acutely aware that I have some strong STRONG competition in this category ... so I'm going to start practicing my gracious loser face in the mirror.

But ... well ... damn! Very cool, people. Very cool. I'm moved and grateful.

(Yes, I know the pictured award is not an Anthony Award ... but I spent a lot of time recently watching the British Open, so ...)

Yet more clips of the apocalypse ... surf's up edition

I'm telling you ... an aqualung and a helmet and you can make it through this one.

Crime fiction has been Barry Barry good to Sean Doolittle

A number of worthy folks have been nominated for a Barry Award, but I have to give a special shout-out to my homey Sean Doolittle whose novel The Cleanup is one of the nominees. This novel is a great read, and I hope Sean will get the trophy ... or plaque ... or certificate. (I've never won an award, so I don't know.)

Good luck, Sean.
