Read the interview here            RANDOM NOTES - WHY SOCIAL NETWORKING IS NOT MY BAG "I take a break from pushing the keys to smile pretty for the camera again. Send the second pic off with a 'thanks for the add' to a certain B-Movie actress who shall remain nameless. She unexpectedly messages me and wants to know if 'I'm an actor'. I send back that no, I'm not, I'm a writer. She writes back 'you mean like a director?'. I write back, that no, though there are writer/directors I am not one of those. I write novels and short stories. She writes back, 'so, you're not in the movie business?' I tell her no, no one has optioned anything of mine as of yet.  She responds only with, 'I don't, you know, read things like books much.'  She does not write back again. I vow to send anything I have off to any publisher no matter how small so that I can just put the cover of something on the 'add' thing and not have to worry about this anymore." - GH     'I PEEL PRETTY' MAY SEE LIGHT OF DAY AFTER ALL August 1st, 2010 After having been told ARKHAM TALES went belly-up, I'm now informed they'll be pushing ahead. Note to writers - the contract was a paid-even-if-not-;ublished. That's all well and good, but kind of like sex without the happy ending. Nice to be accepted, but ultimately unsatisfying. - GH IN PRAISE OF EDITORS "So I get an invite from a Mort1s on The Horror Mall (I’ll leave out his real name unless he tells me otherwise, lawsuits and all you know) and check out his page. The collection of horror memorabilia that he has is beautifully astounding (if you’re on the ‘Mall, check it out, my drool is still drying). Later, he sends me a comment asking what the name of the story I had in Peep Show was. I’m shocked anyone is already reading my profile for one thing, let alone that anyone has even heard of  Peep Show, let alone asking me about it all these years later.  I mention this because the story I sent in for “Peep Show” was actually the first thing I ever wrote and subsequently, the first thing I ever had published. I sent it off on a lark as they say and got a reply back that yes, we’ll take it, and yes, I was going to be in print! Excited and amazed, I emailed the editor, a Mr. Paul Fry, and thanked him. He sent back a note about a few grammatical adjustments and would I be so kind as to correct them and here’s what will be in the issue as well. There was a feature on the Richard Laymon Kills web site and (oh, so young and naive) having never read Laymon before, I decided to pick up one of his books. A day later after having read “Stake” straight through, I emailed Paul back and told him how great Laymon was. He emailed me back, several times, and we had a brief correspondence over Laymon’s work, the differences in English and American roadways and, oddly enough, Scooby Doo.  Bewildered that an editor, especially one that had worked with some pretty heavy names, would even acknowledge an email from little old me, let alone write me several times absolutely floored me. I mention this because he was the first of many editors along the way who have completely amazed me at their kindness and openness, even when rejecting something (seriously, after sending tons of things off, we’re talking a lot here people, I’ve only had one bad experience). So if anyone out there knows Paul Fry, tell him at least one guy, years and years later, thanks him from the bottom of his heart for his kindness and warm welcoming ways. (I could throw in a joke about how he took my publishing virginity in the sweetest of way, but I won’t) :).   So here’s a litle toast to Mort for reminding of this, and here’s to great editor everywhere. Whether you know it or not, the simplest of things are remembered for a lifetime." - GH  WRITERS ARE THE NICEST PEOPLE I send a message to Dave Dunwoody ( http://daviddunwoody.com) on The Horror Mall and mention briefly that he has great taste in music after seeing The Police listed on the tops of his favorite bands (number one for me as well). He writes back and we engage in a few short emails about Jung, horror figures and he checks out my website and compliments me on it (love him already). So just a note to any writers out there, being a nice guy pays off as Dave just topped my list of the next books I'm going to buy (along with James Roy Daley, who I saw from his profile is a drummer and a writer which makes him automatically cool in my book and somebody I've got to read). In honor of talking with Dave and to my friend who calls himself 'the hugest fan' of Sting and the boys (and who shall remain nameless because of my shame of him for never having seen or heard this before in this day and age of Internet availability of almost anything), here's my favorite recording Sting has ever done of "Message in a Bottle". Enjoy.    TheSecretPoliceman'sotherball And the kindness just keeps on coming. Dave Dunwoody emails me and wants to know if I have a banner for my site so he can put it on his. I'm loving Dave more and more and while I patiently await the arrival of his novel, Empire, he posts a blog that Infernal Dreams has a free download of an anthology called Blood From the Underground (http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW5mZXJuYWxkcmVhbXMubmV0Lw==). Have I mentioned that while in no way, shape or form will the Internet ever replace the tactile goodness of an actual book printed on paper, oh how I do love the things at our fingertips (if you're one of those people who can just stand in a book store, and I'm talking the used-kind with stacks of unorganized wonders, and just take it the smell of it, you know what I mean). So after finding a place to submit my short story, The Risen, I'm taking a break from writing today and heading over there to get my free reads before going out this evening. Here's a toast to Dave and a toast to all that is available at the stroke of a key to information and story junkies like myself. HAMILTON'S 'BLOCK' TO APPEAR IN 'BRUTARIAN' MAGAZINE The latest issue of 'Brutarian' featuring my story 'Block' is out now! Check out the fantastic illustration for the story by the very talented Gaven De Lint http://gavin.delint.ca/Gallery/Illustration/brutarian-block.htm                      DARK LEAGUE PRESS TO PUBLISH 'STELLA STAR' SEQUEL July 5th, 2010 "Richard Dean has invited me to write a tale for the upcoming 'Stella Star' anthology! For those of you who don't know who Stella Star is (shame, shame), she's is the very loverly heroine from the classic film 'StarCrash' (also featuring the equally lovely David Hasselhoff in all his young dewey glory and 'Maniac's Joe Spinel.) It is a must see, so check it out if you haven't already seen it. If leaping cavemen, robots who sound like Rory Calhoun and laser beam eyes aren't enough, here's a pic of Stella (played by the timeless beauty Caroline Munro). Yeah, I've got your attention now, haven't I?" - GH
