On Your Own Ladies

Sorry Ladies. I talked to your man. He said you're on your own for Valentines

Sadly this is totally true. Not even a little bit in jest.

Just before Christmas there was a really good sale for Origami Owl, the best customized locket system you can get. It was an amazing deal, actually a bit better than a BOGO offer. I messaged 40 of my own personal friends on Facebook who I knew had wives, daughters, and moms, and suggested that they take advantage of the great offer, thinking that I was doing them a favor. I know my wife loves last minute bling gifts. That's saved the day a number of times in my past.

What did I get in return?

Every single reply was something like this:

"My wife doesn't even like or wear jewelry, so don't bother me."

Unfortunately, I have met many of their wives, and know that to be untrue. Be that as it may, women, it's up to you. This level of denial and disdain has given you the freedom to do as you wish. Get yourself one of the most beautiful and meaningful gifts this year.

If you buy from THIS LINK I'll even send you a free mountaineering or fitness paperback, you know, to pay him back for his kind generosity. Even the score a bit.

By January 15, minimum $75 purchase to a USA address, and books from this list:

Carstensz, Stone Age to Iron Age
Elbrus Race 2013
Summit Success: Training for Hiking, Mountaineering, and Peak Bagging
My Sweet Infected
Finding Time to Train

If you don't want the book, I'll send you a 2 free charms of your choice. Some are in stock here, some I have to order in and might take a couple weeks. Let me know!

Every Book Holds a Little World Inside

When I'm in full on writing mode, I can crank out up to 10,000 words a day.That's not normal though. I try to set a goal of getting in 2,000 words a day, like the old Stephen King writing advice states. “I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words." Stephen King Goodreads I got quite a few books written in a short time span last fall, then settled down into normal daily life. The intensity required to write a book like "My Sweet Infected" was unexpectedly devastating. I became my protagonist in so many ways as she crept into my psyche and took over for me as I channeled her every thought as I created the story of her awakening. Read the book if you want to know more about this ruined world with humans on the brink of extinction. Find the clues, sort through the chaos, and realize the end is inevitable. The little world inside this book is doomed. Check it out, get the free sample for your Kindle - On Amazon My Sweet Infected (My Inf...

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Film Festival History

A very long time ago when I lived in Kansas City, I attended a workshop on how to write a screenplay. At the time I was already editing my own fanzine that I later sold for an outrageous profit. I was also writing regularly for a handful of local magazines including New Age and Health topics, like the kind you find in massage studios. I did quite well and kept in touch with the instructor, who was a Hollywood Reader - the people that pre-screen submissions to studios. I wrote a screenplay and shopped it around some, getting a call from a VP at Viacom at my job in landscaping. I was completely and totally unprepared for that call and botched it terribly. I kept that bug in the back of my mind for a few years, and later when a company moved me to Utah for a tech job, I ended up hanging on the periphery of the Indie Film crowd. I went to a very professional Short Film Fest in Nevada, and decided I would make one for a Utah fest. The topic of the short was supposed to be something ...
