Writing, movies, television, books, SF/F fandom in all its glory ... music, especially blues and blues rock.
Music
Blues, blues rock, electronic, dance, pop. Everything. ESPECIALLY JOE BONAMASSA. Hey, Joe, how you doin'? Good? COME BACK TO TEXAS! Oh, and also, Aynsley Lister? YOU ROCK, MAN.
Movies
Thrillers, suspense, science fiction, fantasy, action/adventure, mystery, noir, silent films!
Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have a special warm place in my heart. Thanks, guys. More, please.
Television
Anything Joss Whedon does. Ever.
On British TV, MURPHY'S LAW. PRIMEVAL. TORCHWOOD. DOCTOR WHO. LIFE ON MARS. RED DWARF.
On American TV, NUMB3RS, NCIS, VERONICA MARS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, PUSHING DAISIES, STARGATE: EVERYTHING, *dying* for Charlaine Harris's new SOUTHERN VAMPIRE MYSTERIES series on HBO!
And my new extra extra shiny favorite: THE LOST ROOM. If you haven't seen this, go rent the DVDs. You'll thank me later.
Books
Favorites include Judith Tarr's "Hound and the Falcon" series, George R.R. Martin's "Fevre Dream," pretty much anything by Barbara Hambly. Jim Butcher, P.N. Elrod, Charlaine Harris, Baroness Orczy, Roger Zelazny, Isaac Asimov, C.J. Cherryh, Justin Gustainis, Vicki Pettersson, Stephenie Meyer, and too many other awesome writers to mention.
Heroes
My friend Timothy Bartz, who survived against the odds for longer than any other Cystic Fibrosis patient at the time. My dad and mom, who sacrificed to give me a good education and a chance at my dreams.
And teachers and librarians nationwide, who do so much for so little reward ... YOU ARE AMAZING.

Mrs. Caine, i just want to let you know that i love and adored The Morganville Vampires series. Your work is compelling and the books are just wonderful, when i started to read the books i could not put it down until i was finish. I'm looking forward to the next book.
Hey Rachel I just wanted to say that fade out was AMAZING! Can't wait to read Kiss of death! looking forward to more sample chapters :) also I was wondering if theirs anyway i could get the UK version of carpe corpus with the bonus short story without having to actually order it from the UK? Or if their was a possibility of it going on the website? Thanks again for the GREAT books! ~Brittni
I'm so upset I had to work on the 13th! I missed you! :,( I tried coming round the borders at 6..but the place was swamped, and I didn't have time to wait for people to break up. I had only 15 mins before I went back to work from break! I was so excited to see you and I'm so sad over it! :(
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Hey! :D I just wanted to say I'm a HUUUGE fan. really love your books:D and, i live in fort worth too, and i was so sad that i missed you at the haltom library. ( i was at marching band practice ) haha.
so fade out was at borders before the release date on amazon.. (i live far from any book stores.. but we were out in the city) predictibaly, i grabbed it, bought it and read it within like 4 hours.. as it turns out, that was a bad plan, for you see, now i have to wait for kiss of death to get my morganville fix... :( love the begining!!!
Oh...my....god!! I didnt know it was that bad. That is so crazy!!! I cant believe what your telling me. I knew the ecmony was bad but its worse then i thought. Thanks for looking out for us readers miss caine. That would be so cool if we can buy posters for the covers because i love the feast of fools, fade out, and kiss of death cover. Kiss of death is my favortie favortie!!!
