We’ve Made the Goal!
Well, folks, it appears that we’ve managed to raise $800 in a little less than two days. What started off as an experimental lark has turned into an unexpected success! Thanks to everybody who was kind enough to donate. Your support will ensure that several interviews will occur over the next few weeks. And, more importantly, the annoying pie graphs and ancillary propaganda will now stop.
If you’re still interested in throwing in a few bucks, you can feel free to hit the Donate button below. The chapbook offer that comes with a donation of $10 or more will stand open until the end of the month.
Thanks again, folks. We did it!

Making Appearances
This week, the blog Romancing the Tome celebrates its third anniversary. The dynamic duo behind this blog asking me to expostulate on literary adaptations and an exemplar of my “seemingly fearless” character can be found here. Likewise, I was asked by Reese Kwon to put in my two bits on James Wood for a lengthy article called “What Would Wood Think?”
A Question of Ethics
I want to clarify something about the pledge drive, because I feel that it’s important. It hasn’t come up yet, but, if you are an author or a publisher who wishes to submit to the fund, please know that if I decide to interview you or review your book, I will pay you back your money if we end up setting up an interview. I’m doing this so that I can maintain the same journalistic integrity that I do for all of the interviews, and I do not wish for there to be a conflict of interest, or the perception of such.
