I like the music...

...in this Godless trailer. Anybody know what it is?

My Penguin is Confused

We had November in October, October in November, and now we are having March in January. I love Minnesota.

New RASH trailer from YouTube

They just keep coming...

More GODLESS trailers!

Here are three more trailers for Godless that I found on YouTube.

More Book Trailers

This one is from...uh, I dunno. It showed up on YouTube. I like that they did it with an all-female cast.

While I'm at it, here's another trailer, this one for Sweetblood. Spelling issues aside, I think she did an exceptional job.

Word Clouds

It seems that the number of ways to waste time on the internet is boundless. This morning, I have been playing with word clouds, and telling myself that this is a useful pastime, as it will give me clues as to which words I might be overusing in my writing. Hah.

Here's a word cloud from my (January, 2011) novel in which Nothing Happens.

In my other upcoming book, Blank Confession (November, 2010), Many Things Will Happen. Here's a word cloud from that novel:

Funny, they don't look that different.

Another Book Trailer

I just ran across this "book trailer" for RASH on YouTube. It's quite good! The person who made it surely got an "A" for his or her English project.
