get a streaming recommendation for festive cheer in your in-box every day over the holiday season
Today I launched Festive Cheer, in which I recommend a fun, merry, classic, or otherwise worthy movie to stream this holiday season. One per day through January 2nd, for paying supporters only. First one’s free!

‘99 Tiny Terrors’ is nigh…
I have a piece of horror flash fiction in this new anthology. The ebook and print-on-demand paperback versions will be on sale at the end of this month, and you can get in on a Kickstarter for hardback and faux-leatherbound editions available early next year.
question of the weekend: what’s your favorite road-trip movie?
I want to assure you, dear readers, that my pal Shirley and I, currently on a mini road trip through Wales, have no intentions of replicating Thelma and Louise’s misadventures.
the return of Nigel the Charity Pig
Longtime readers will remember Nigel the Charity Pig, my sometimes traveling companion. He and I — and my human friend Shirley — are on a little road trip for a couple of days… COVID-safe, of course!
