Today, I do a double-header. Not only do I offer my Charactered Pieces playlist at Justin Holt’s blog, but the Emerging Writers Network blog has been kind enough to post my holiday gift list. EWN was recently named one of OnlineDegree’s top 50 lit blogs. And let’s be honest, if you are waiting until today to do your holiday shopping, you likely need this list. Thank me later. Over a beer.
See all the rest of the Blog Orgy Tour stops here.
Music enhances most experiences, even writing. Today, I deliver my Charactered Pieces playlist at Justin Holt’s blog. See, there’s music; don’t you feel more like a real groupie now?

I might get a tattoo. Read about it at Nik Korpon’s blog, you filthy, filthy groupie.
Then read about other skin deformities (sesame sauce-blistered skin, for example) in my chapbook, Charactered Pieces. Only $7 for a print copy, or $2 for a PDF eBook version.

Today at Mel Bosworth’s blog I post about the power of a single story to open up an author’s entire catalog. Prove you’re a good groupie and head over now.

The folks at Oxyfication.net just keep getting kinder. Jason Kane has written an absolutely stunning review of Charactered Pieces. My hope, of course, is that reading this review will make you want to read Charactered Pieces. But in the least, I hope it motivates you to check out more reviews from their site.
Also, don’t forget to check out their forum, where for the month of December, Charactered Pieces is their book club pick. I’ll be poking in all month to add to the discussion. You should, too.
As a special, and this is only being announced in a few places, you can take $1 off of the price of either the print version or the .pdf eBook version. Maybe this will get your smelly ass over there to the discussion forums. Smelly, smelly ass.

“These stories contain normal people crushed under the wheels of circumstance and the weight of guilt. The characters within are far beyond damaged– they are wrecked. Busted parents and screwed up kids; scarred, ruined, and weighed down with ten tons of remorse and pain wrapped in cancerous silence. Like individual flaws in the same junk diamond, they share some unspeakable pain in one way or another. But all this hurt isn’t dreamt up for the author’s detached amusement, or for the titillation of some nihilistic reader– this is a bid for communion where it is needed most. In each story the characters’ struggles are the result of some long-incubated despair, intimate and undeniable as a deathbed rasp.”
