"The Valley of Fire had me rolling on the floor laughing!"

Oh, man! This car doesn't even have a steering wheel.

Great interview on the 19th with GodDiscussion.com on Blog Talk Radio about my "fantasy/new weird" novel The Valley of Fire (available on Create Space, Amazon or through your local bookstore).

"One of the funniest books I've ever  read...it is scream!" GodDiscussion.com

Click here for the interview. My segment begins at 17:05 and ends at 54:00. This is half as long as I'd like to speak and twice as long as anyone should let me. I managed to prove myself a blasphemer, heretic and Mormon apostate in one brief discussion. Not a bad trifecta!

"This is a great book, I guarantee you're going to love it." GodDiscussion.com

If you're a free thinker, I highly recommend the God Discussion show and website. If you're not a free thinker or just don't like the God Discussion people, then I hope you spend the rest of your life eating nothing but the leather soles of dusty shoes.  No gravy.

Abortion Saved My Mother's Life. Savita Halappanavar Was Not So Lucky.

Image
My Mother could have been Savita Halappanavar, the expectant mother who needlessly died recently in an Irish hospital. Due to harsh and confusing abortion laws, the doctors refused to terminate her pregnancy, even though it was apparent that neither she nor her child would survive it. They watched as Ms. Halappanavar writhed in pain, unable to expel the dying fetus that was killing her, and unable to get the doctors to act. In 1971, my mother was 24 and had two young children. She was five months along with a third when she experienced complications and began severely hemorrhaging. She went to the hospital afraid she would miscarry. Many painful hours later, exhausted from blood loss, she lay frightened atop a heap of bloody sheets and towels, scared that she would die, terrified that she would never see her young children again. She was shocked when the doctors finally told her she would bleed to death if she did not terminate her pregnancy. They brought her abortion papers ...

The Time I Took A $400,000 Bentley To The Bus Station

Image
Taking the Bentley to the Bus Station When somebody offers to let you stay in their penthouse at the St. Regis in New York City, say yes. Don’t worry about work or transportation. Quit if you have to and walk if you must, but by all means, say yes. And when the bellhop rolls up in a $400,000 Bentley to take you to the bus station? Say yes again. Here’s how it happened. I was living in Washington, DC, a few years ago, and my aunt and uncle invited my mother and me to spend a few days with them at the St. Regis in New York. My mother flew up from her home in Phoenix, and I took the bus up from DC. Some people say that staying the St. Regis is like staying at a palace. This is not true and those people are stupid. It’s much nicer than a palace. To be fair, it’s like a palace in two ways: 1) the butlers, and 2) Elton John routinely stays there. I didn’t see him, but you bet I looked. As nice as the hotel was, what I remember most about staying there was spending time with ...

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sausages

Image
Spoiler Alert: This book does not Contain a self-important memoir. Equal parts Tom Robbins, Christopher Moore and Jasper Fforde, Tom Holt’s Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sausages , is an insanely imaginative and hilarious read. There’s no point telling you what this book’s about, it wouldn’t make any sense. But, I’ve got to give you something.   There’s a pig who figures out the secret to transdimensional travel, a guitarist who gets turned into a rooster, a flock of chickens who learn that they’re really human lawyers, and a real estate boss who has no personal history but a knack for getting rich by eliminating the inefficiency of operating in only one dimension.   All this happens because somebody tries to cheat in a 700 year-old game of “chicken or the egg.” Cheaters never prosper, especially when they forget that lawyer-chickens revolt.   Don't mistake the humor for hollowness, there's a point behind the absurdity. A little Vonnegut seasoning. Th...
