me, god and the bible (or thoughts on a strained relationship)

I have always had a somewhat problematic relationship with the bible, and therefore I have always had a somewhat awkward relationship with those who live their lives by it. I was born into fertile ground as far as having religious based confusion went – what with a mother who is a lapsed catholic and my [...]

turn the page: self interview

I can’t remember where I saw this — maybe it was that arch egotist Jim Morrison who gave me the idea — but in an effort to get to know myself and elucidate some upon my new books, I am interviewing myself in lieu of someone else doing the job.

Ranthead: Proofread

Sometimes you read a book and you feel that serendipity has delivered it to you, so closely does it seem tailored to the needs [...]
