Just to reiterate: I didn't dood it . Can't say why you all would think this was one of mine. (HINT: If you find yourself offended by a specific entry, chances are I wrote it.) And now...some random things here and there: Chris Sims and Eugene Ahn present a new episode of the War Rocket Ajax podcast where they interview writer Chris Roberson . BONUS CONTENT: Special guest Dr. K sits in! A few quick...

Chris Roberson & Shawn McManus . Seemingly ditsy fashion aficionado by day, secret spy for Fabletown by night - that's the idea behind Cinderella in Fables , the Vertigo book that this six-issue mini-series spins out from. Cindy has been one of my favorite Fables characters because of this dynamic, and this new series doesn't disappoint, as we see Cinderella perform some James Bond-ish moves as...

( Electric Velocipede #19 on the Night Shade Books table at World Fantasy) This is pretty long, and a lot of it is devoted to talking about with whom I had meals. You can skip down to the highlights at the end of the post if you want. Thursday October 29 I leave my house at 7:00a to drive to my parent's house in Oconomowoc. On the way there, I miss/overlook/am distracted by driving and don't notice...

Got my January 2010 Asimov's in the mail today thanks to the time traveling mailman and I see Chris Roberson has a story inside entitled "Wonder House" It's very short with not much of anything in terms of plot (it's obviously not trying to). It's basically two publishers (in an alternate history) discussing their failing brand and what they can do to save it. What I found most interest about...

It's with great pride and some surprise that I find I've been asked to join the Clockwork Storybook group of writers. These guys: Mark Finn; Daryl Gregory; Marjorie Liu; Chris Roberson; Matt Sturges; Bill Williams and Bill Willingham aspire to be a kind of modern-day version of the Inklings, the group of drunkards who bothered the landlord of the Eagle and Child in Oxford by never buying more

Leaving aside the wrong-headedness of my peers for a time on this whole mash-up business, though both Enge and Chris Roberson (in the comments to Enge’s post) raise some pseudo-convincing arguments), I’d like to move on and talk about the monsters that are so prevalent in today’s mashups (zombies and vampires) and the monsters that [...]
