Tonight's blue moon-

Tonight there will be a blue moon. Obviously, my mind becomes full of my own book, 'Blue Moon' and the fun it was to write. I remember when I came up with the idea; I was sitting around thinking about nothing in particular, when the thought of werewolves popped into my head. I've always been drawn to werewolves.  I think they are, by far, the coolest and sexiest of the big monsters.  But as I was thinking of them back then, I began to wonder what someone who was cursed would say if they had the chance to apologize to the families of his victims. As I pondered that, I tried to imagine when someone would have the opportunity to do that, and clearly it would have been before he died.  Thinking of how that would work, I came up with the suicide note that Adam Keel writes and the opportunity of escape the blue moon gave him. I had spent years satisfied with  the fact that 'Blue Moon' would be a stand alone book, but years later realized it didn't have to be. I wrote

I need to remember this during the tough times.

No to Olympics!

There is no way I will view any of the Olympics, since they're being held in Russia where LGBT people are being harmed!

Almost Squish time!

I'm getting excited about the upcoming release of Squish-Squash. It's another one of my favorites that was initially written years ago, and now the world will finally get to experience.  I remember when Steve brought the subject/idea of the creature up.  He was talking about a childhood nightmare he once had that he could never shake.  He couldn't recall exact details, but remembered there was a creature in it that was covered in hair.  With the seed planted, I came up with the backstory and creation of Squish-Squash, and as weird as it is, the wobbly mass of hair has become dear to us.  The book is due out late August!
