I was recently tagged in a blog hop by the magnificent
Steven Montano. In the past, I've shied away from these kinds of personal posts because I didn't have a lot to talk about. Now that I'm on the cusp of releasing my first novel, THE FOURTH CHANNEL, these won't bore you. I promise to do more of these "update" type posts from time to time, to keep you updated on my projects, and when you'll see stories from me next.
This blog hop started on
She Writes, which is a writing community I belong to. The way it works is this:
Answer ten standard questions about your current novel in progress and try not to bore everyone in the process. Include some pictures if possible.
Tag five other writers/bloggers by sending them an email and then add their links to the end of your interview post. Their answers should go up the week after.
So here we go!
Welcome back to a very special edition of the Science Fiction and Fantasy pinups -- the Halloween edition! Of course, our pinups represent the entire month of October, but since this is a very special holiday they're also our reigning King and Queen of Halloween.
If this is your first time, you're in luck: in the sidebar, there's a link to the previous sci-fi pinups. For my regular readers, this means I will no longer have to list off all the previous months by using terrible puns.
You're welcome. 
Before I dive into the reviews, I want to tell you to stick around to the very end of the post because I have terrific news to share! If you're a long-time reader of this site, you're going to be pretty happy...
But first, give me a minute to geek out.
It's been a while since I've talked about my latest guilty gaming pleasures and I've got two for you that I'm really excited about. First up is a little game called Orcs Must Die 2. I saw the trailer a few months ago, and what I saw convinced me to buy the game as soon as it was released. Orcs Must Die 2 is a fantasy riff on run-and-gun games, but with a twist -- players are given a variety of traps to use against the orc hordes. And if that isn't enough to pique your interest, well, it also has a two-player mode that kicks ass.
