Hey, Reluctant New Yorkers

Anyone in or around the NYC area -- Anton, Caitlin and I will be at New York Comic Con this weekend, starting this afternoon!

Friday 2/6
5:45 PM
Panel: New York City Through its Authors (Jackie and Anton)
New York City may be the world's most-written-about city. While sometimes romantic, sometimes mythic, and sometimes wicked, it's always New York. New York Comic Con invites several of the city's local authors to speak about how living in New York has influenced their words -- whether they're writing about NYC or not. Moderated by Suvudu.com.

6:30 PM
Panel: Vampire, Werewolf, and Zombie Round Table (Caitlin)
Vampires, werewolves, and zombies have haunted the human imagination since pre-history. Even now in the 21st Century, these creatures of the night continue to cause shivers to race down
our spine. Explore what makes us love to be afraid in this chilling, thrilling panel!

I know people who are already lining up at 6:45 am on Sunday to get a ticket for either the Joss autographing or Dollhouse premiere.

I may be in bed then...nay, I WILL be in bed!!

You may also find me at the Penguin booth #1804. I'll be doing a interview with BookSpot Central on Saturday, so that should be sufficiently embarrassing.

Um. Really? 6:45 am?

Um. Huh.

**debates which is more important: my continued health, or getting to meet Joss Whedon**

Sounds like great fun. Wish I could be there.

You all need to come up north of the border and visit us here (but not till spring. Winter is a cruel mistress)

Hey, Jackie? Think you can stuff Tahmoh into your suitcase and smuggle him back for me? Pretty please?

Wish I could be there but just to far to drive in a few hours. But I wish you all the best and hope you have a great time.

Wow - Dichen Lachman has gone from Aussie soap Neighbours to Dollhouse! That's quite a jump.

Just goes to show that there's always an Australian where you least expect them ;-)

Have a lovely day! :-)

THE WRITE PRETENDAS

By -

WE at the League of Reluctant Adults are pissed. Miffed. Put out. Thoroughly riled. We don't often get political, nor do we often get angry. But an angry Leaguer is an UGLY thing. Just look at Mark over there, all snarly with rage. Why are we angry, you ask? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET BOYCOTTED. There's this group calling itself "The Write Agenda," who claims to be a bunch of authors looking out for other authors. In reality, we're pretty sure they're a bunch of con artists who got mad at people calling them con artists. Why? Because they attack two of the best friends an author or an aspiring author can ever have: Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler . Here's John Scalzi's breakdown of what this Write Agenda is, and why they're doing what they're doing. For those not in the know, Writer Beware and Absolute Write Water Cooler are free services that collect information on agents, editors, and publishers. They report on thin...

Carniepunk Giveaway and Tour!

So, I'm sitting in my kitchen working at my laptop, as far as you know, when the doorbell rings. As any normal human being would, assuming there was a solicitor at the door or a sappy-eyed child selling diet-busting candy, I reached for my gun and slipped to the floor to avoid detection. Creeping across the hall, I lifted my head just in time to see the bestest shit-brown truck that ever existed barrel away leaving a puffy beige package on my doorstep, just like an unwanted baby...or THIS... YESSSSSSS!!! Carniepunk ARCs came!!! Now, some of you may know that this literary wonder was the brainchild of my friend and fellow Reluctant Adult, Kevin Hearne, author of such Iron Druidness as HOUNDED and star of a certain Single Ladies Dance Spectacular, featured here (feel free to witness that particular madness as you continue to read toward the inevitable contest): As excited as I am about my story in CARNIEPUNK (July 23rd), THE SWEETER THE JUICE (a post-apocalyptic zombie h...

5 Great Horror Movies to Rinse the Bad Taste of Ouija Away

In my ongoing effort to save you from studio horror movies cobbled together from the compressed shit of Hollywood burnouts, I bring you alternatives to OUIJA! #insteadofouija OUIJA has hit DVD/VOD and there's nothing we can do about that but don our gas masks, hunker down and pray for dawn. A horrifying prospect, but at least we can be entertained while waiting for the fallout to subside. Here's a few fantastic 2014 horror movie releases to make you feel like the world is still worth living... OCULUS seems to be a secret to this day. Despite some great buzz and a truly inventive style of storytelling, bouncing back and forth in time so fast the audience is left in a constant state of unease. The story wraps itself around a rapidly deteriorating family relationship brought to the brink of insanity by the presence of a haunted mirror. And that's where things get weird. The acting is pretty above average and the horror set pieces are jarring. OCULUS wasn't my fav...
