TL Hines's Interests
General
Readin', writin' and 'rithmetic. Minus the 'rithmetic part.
Music
I like me some Pixies, Better Than Ezra, David Crowder Band, Foo Fighters, Wilco, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, Kingston Trio, Hillsong, Derek Webb, Silversun Pickups, and just about anything with distorted guitar.
Movies
Drama: Shawshank Redemption, Gattaca, Crash, anything by M. Night Shamalamadingdong.
Comedy: Monty Python, Blazing Saddles, Fletch, Dodgeball.
Documentary: Anything by Errol Morris.
Wild Cards: I'll watch, and probably enjoy, anything with John Cusack, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly or Jack Black.
Television
Didn't your parents ever tell you television rots your brain? That said, I rotted my brain in my early years by watching "Rod Serling's Night Gallery," "Kolchak/The Night Stalker" and "Wild, Wild West." Later came "Twin Peaks" and "The X-Files." More recently, it's "MXC" and "Lost."
Books
I tend to like mysteries and dark fantasies with a touch of the supernatural, but I read a dash of everything.
Heroes
Thor, Ghost Rider and Silver Surfer. No one else ever came close.
About me: I write "Noir Bizarre" stories, mixing elements of the crime/mystery and supernatural/fantasy genres. Blame it on an unhealthy fascination with "The Night Stalker" and "Rod Serling's Night Gallery" as a child.
My second, THE DEAD WHISPER ON, released in hardcover Summer of 2007 (Trade Paperback April 2008), fulfilling my lifelong desire to write a novel featuring both living shadows and spontaneous human combustion.
My third novel, THE UNSEEN, will be on the shelves Fall of 2008.
A few interesting facts/tidbits about me:
• My long list of past odd jobs includes trimming Christmas trees, sorting seed potatoes, selling strawberries, and cleaning cadaver storage rooms.
• As a teen, I was undefeated in air guitar competitions (a record of 3-0), in which I performed songs by ZZ Top. No, really.
Who I'd like to meet: Most near anybody. Please feel free to leave a comment, but keep your images less than 300 pixels wide. Wider images wreak havoc on my layout, and my obsessive/compulsive tendencies can't abide. In other words, if you slap a big ol' image in my comments section, I'll slap it back out.
Thanks for the kind acceptance, TL. Always a pleasure to meet another writer. I believe you'd like the Major in HONOR DUE, set in the mist shrouded Pacific Northwest. Let me know. Wishing you all the best on this turn of the Cosmic wheel. Be well, DH The Books of D. H. Brown On sale now in stores and at Amazon:HONOR DUE Dedicated to those we left behind
I read in your blog that you're not crazy about the glitter graphics, etc., and it made me laugh. Actually I requested you, because of your interesting profile. I enjoy unique and interesting individuals.
Hello, hello, hello!!! I have so much to say that I can't think of anything at this moment!! It's great to know you're out there......I feel young again.....like 17. Visit with you later, Kathy
Thanks for the add. If your book(s) are about grim things and vibrations then your music is sure 'spot-on'..I don't like it..but that's why I like the person I feel or sense behind the manuscript..thanks for the add.. see you on the POSE forum to share a nice polemical syllogism..or 2.
