I'll go with broad categories on this one instead of specifics: theater, writing, music, graphic novels, Adult Swim, my lovely Tivo, dining out in NYC, travel, guitar, computers, gaming, lemurs, writing about gaming. I'll do specifics later, but I wanted this general marker here to show that I hopefully have cultivated a mixed Jack of All Trades persona for myself.

About me: Design your MySpace with MyLook
author of Dead To Me the first book in my humorous urban fantasy series featuring Simon Canderous. Deader Still, book two in the series, will be on sale in March 2009. Books three and four have been contracted, but no release information on them as of yet.
Also available:
July 1, 2008- The Fourteenth Virtue, a short story tying into the world of Dead To Me in the DAW anthology The Dimension Next Door.
On Sale- Lady in Red, a short story about a young girl in New York City and a peculiar red hoodie in Pandora's Closet.
Two other short stories are pending publication, but no details on them at this time.
Who I'd like to meet: a future version of myself who has come back in time to save me from time-travelling robots bent on my eradication before I can rise to power as leader of the future resistance.
Hi Anton, thanks for the friending. I am really enjoying your series. I just read your blurbs and I have Pandora's Closet. I will have to go back and re-read it. Have a great week!
I finished reading Deader Still yesterday, and I thought it was pretty good! I noticed that Simon was a F.O.G. gie instead of a F.O.G.ie lol. I also noticed the last names of two cops in the book: Krueger and Myers... haha Freddy and Jason are cops?
Not just book two, mind you, I am just fascinated with the world you created and really like the humor involved so I highly anticipate book three as well.
