Pin Cushion Good news, gang! I bought a new calendar so that I won't forget to announce our monthly sci-fi pinups... though I'll totally procrastinate working on them anyway. But hey, at least I won't have an excuse. And with that, welcome back to the Science Fiction & Fantasy Pinups, the monthly segment that's almost always on time. Once a month we comb through the list of hotties and naughties and hard-rock bodies to crown the cream of the crop. But of course, it's the sci-fi pinups, so they're not exactly your momma's Chippendales or your papa's Playboy Playmates. They'd be green-skinned Chippendales. With tentacles and laser beam eyes. And that would be hot. And the sci-fi version of Playboy Playmates would be whatever Captain Kirk takes his shirt off for. Which is everything with legs.

G.I. Joe - COBRA LogoSECRET BASE---The Annual Shareholder Meeting at Cobra headquarters was somber as CEO Cobra Commander stood before investors and delivered the bad news: profits were down, and they had won only two battles in the last year. Though the first quarter had shown a significant increase in profits, the next three were riddled with large expenditures and poor management decisions. Analysts cite the determined efforts of Cobra’s evil nemeses, the G.I. Joes, as the key factor in their hardship. “Real talk, guys,” Cobra Commander said in the midst of his thirty-one slide PowerPoint presentation that detailed their failures. “Winning against the Joes is getting tougher and tougher. They’ve got ‘knowing’ so they’ve already won half the battle. The most we could ever hope to win is the other half.”

PinCushion Welcome back to another installment of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Pinups, the monthly segment that keeps you coming back for more hunks, hotties, and Oxford commas. Apologies for putting these up late. I could give you a bunch of silly excuses as to why, but I won't. The truth is, I finished that novel I sometimes talk about and, once it was over, I was exhausted. Exhausted, but excited. The Spouse-ditor is combing it through now and I'm thrilled to say you're going to be able to read it in the next couple of months. It's called THE FOURTH CHANNEL, about the world's worst necromancer and her talking sacrificial knives. The best I can describe it is Anita Blake meets Stephanie Plum, and contains all the things you've come to love on my blog: humor, danger, kick-ass fight scenes, ex-girlfriends, prophecies about toothpaste, evil voodoo masters, and more. I think you're going to love it.
