Probably the only vaguely interesting thing about me is that with my wife, Mary Reed, I co-author the John the Eunuch mystery series set in sixth century Constantinople. But that doesn't stop me from dwelling here on the boring minutiae of the rest of my life, present and past, along with the occasional word about writing.

Poisoned Pen Press

There is no pleasure to me without communication: there is not so much as a sprightly thought comes into my mind that it does not grieve me to have produced alone, and that I have no one to tell it to.

Where No Cats Has Gone Before

Dennis Jerz alerted me to Stephen Granade's LOLtrek and his version of "The Trouble with Tribbles." In case, like me, you haven't heard of LOLcats, Stephen explains:

They’re pictures of cats with captions typed across them. In essence they’re the “Hang In There Baby” posters gone feral...

That set my fevered brain to spinning: what would a lolcat story look like? What if lolcats had a TV channel? What kind of shows would be on it?

The answer is clear: they would show Star Trek.

I'd never even heard of lolcats and I was never a huge trek fan but this really cracked me up. Check out the whole episode at Stephen's site.
