After a long period of semi-hibernation, I've been trying to be more active on my social media lately. While I don't love the concept or execution of Facebook, I have to admit that the ability to "like" things appeals to my lazy but basically polite nature -- it's a way of saying, "I don't have any burning response to make, but I read your comment and appreciated it." Or, as Roland D. would say, "I see you very well." (Again, my FB page is here, or if the link doesn't work for you, I am Billy Martin of New Orleans. If you send me a friend request, I'll approve it ASAP.)

Still, I remain absolutely abysmal at answering e-mail, and I know I've missed a few inquiries about stuff here, so I'm making this sticky post (ew) where folks can ask/repost questions and I will try to answer them. Please be kind!

It's been a while since I sold any signed books on eBay. Just listed five new auctions: WRONG THINGS by me and Caitlín R. Kiernan, TRIADS by me and Christa Faust, GUILTY BUT INSANE, and the chapbooks CON PARTY AT HOTEL CALIFORNIA and THE SEED OF LOST SOULS. As always, I'm happy to personalize the signatures.
