It is, truly, absurd.

Do you know someone looking for the perfect single family home to buy in downtown Ithaca? Do they want hree bedrooms, new roof, all new windows, and amazing location right next to Purity Ice Cream? WELL?? They should really check out this house, ASAP. Did I mention I'm selling my house?

Life is grand in this downtown Ithaca gem. A beautifully maintained turn of the century home with spacious indoor & outdoor areas. A brand new metal roof installed in June 2013 accompanied by new windows in October 2010. Other new features include the hot water heater and the garbage disposal. This…

I tried this, but always look like "before."

The Best iPhone 5 Battery Cases Compared

I've been recommending Mophie Juice pack battery/case to any iPhone user who'll listen. Read this to find out about four other good options as well.

The iPhone has always had reasonable battery life, but as the power of the chip inside as increased, Apple has struggled to keep endurance from falling behind. The small, thin iPhone 5 only has so much room, and a small battery almost always leads to modest talk time. Buying a battery case is the ea...

There is only one proper name for the baby who will be the future king, and we all know what it is: Ralph.

Kids Who Grow Up Using iPads Have Restricted Vocabularies

This may be the dumbest damn tech-fear-mongering story I've ever read. "Our brains are hardwired to learn new words when we hear others use them in conversation. But as children increasingly learn through devices instead of listening to others they do not get the opportunity to hear a wide range of words." Imagine the hullabaloo when the printing press came out: "Why, our children will be READING! How will they learn to speak??" An iPad can TALK BACK. Idiots.

Not that they'll be reading this, of course.

Sad Statistics!

Wow, is this depressing. Someone take a kid aside today and tell them: they can say (and report and worship and petition and assemble) the way they want.

A Trip to the World of Fantasy (Con), and a Free KALI!

I know, I know, worst blogger ever. I used to be good at this stuff, I swear. But now there's something to tell:

ITEM! Tomorrow I leave for Toronto Canada and at 4:30pm I'll be reading from my books at WORLD FANTASY CON! If you want to hear my voice read my words, then you should come. Of course, it helps to have paid $200 to be a "member" of WFC, but hey. 

ITEM! Tomorrow and through Saturday, KALI: THE GHOSTING OF SEPULCHER BAY is free. That's right, just like I did a couple months ago to coincide with the WorldCon show in Chicago, I'm giving KALI away during WFC. Mostly though, it won't be con-goers grabbing it, but people on the Internets who see the link and like YA ghost stories. So, if you're so inclined, spread the word. I'll be your biggest fan. 

ITEM! My other book, BETA TEST, is still only 99 cents on Amazon Kindle. But for how long?? I dunno. Seriously, no idea. 

ITEM! I need to go to sleep. I gotta drive to Canada tomorrow. Glad I was able to get the safe open and get my passport out.
