About me:
I am Tusitala, the bouncer and barkeep at the TABARD INN, and it is not my job to keep the undesirables out, but to keep them in. It's hard to get 86-ed from the Inn, and we love offending people. Leave the kiddies at home; this is a place where grown-ups drink, swear, and fuck the night away. Interested? TABARD INN: TALES OF QUESTIONABLE TASTE issues one and two are now on sale. Check out www.talesofquestionabletaste.com for more details. What I'm reading now: GORKY PARK by Martin Cruz Smith. It's not bad so far. There are a few slow parts, but they're outweighed by the dark and nasty scenes. I don't know if it's as great as everyone says it is, but it's not bad.

Check out the website! Tales of Questionable Taste

Also, if you want to be disturbed, you should check this out: David Fuller

Thanks for the myspacial friendship, and here’s wishing you a happy week, heavy with hilarious hoaxes, hospitable headless horsemen, heroic hobgoblins, hopeful harpy healers, horrifying heaps of horseradish, humorous hamster hags, haunted hairy harmonicas, and heavenly hellhounds howling heartfelt haikus about horoscope-handy hippopotami.

I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of checking out one of my short stories. I'd love to hear what you think.

Happytimes,
-Jeremy :)

Sup buddy? I think I saw you at Wizard World, and I'm eager to buy your stuff. I was low on cash that day; sorry bro. Anyways, I hope things went well there so that your magazine gets out. You'll see my $22 soon (and possibly some for the bumper stickers). Later.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it. There's lots of crazy shit in there. (and if you like gore and fucking, you'll love PIECEMEAL JUNE too)

I see you like Joe Lansdale and Jim Thompson. Nice! Are you a fan of Lansdale's weird westerns? If so, you might like the project I'm working on next which is a bizarro Spaghetti Western / Giallo novella collection..


take care & keep in touch!

Hey man, no camping trip this weekend. People couldn't get their shit straight, and I got a lot of "I dunno's" from everybody. It looks like its gonna be a stormy weekend anyway, so I guess its not the end of the world.

But instead we're gonna get together for the Cubs/Sox game on Saturday (see my latest bulletin).
There will be plenty of afternoon boozing, so you should join us!

He was a cop, and good at his job. But he committed the ultimate sin, and testified against other cops gone bad. Cops that tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands.

Hiyas :)

I just finally found time to start reading the newest Tabard Inn and it's amazing :) Very awesome. I'll be posting a link from the Niteblade news forums sometime in the very near future, as well as bragging on your behalf on my LJ.
Hopefully it will garner you a few more sales :)
