I Just Found Warehouse 13

I guess I’m late to the party. I just started watching Warehouse 13 a few weeks ago, all thanks to the power of Hulu and some free time. The show, for those who don’t know, follows two Secret Service agents who are assigned to Warehouse 13, where supernatural artifacts are kept and cataloged. Their job: find and retrieve these artifacts.

It’s a fun show, and it never tries to take itself too seriously, and that’s part of the appeal, at least for me. The stories are fun, it has plenty of humor, and the casting is great. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out on Hulu – http://www.hulu.com/warehouse-13. Give it a few episodes and it will hook you. With all of the AmericasGotIdolsDancingWithEightKids reality shows out there, it’s nice to see a show like Warehouse 13 doing so well.

New episodes begin airing on the SyFy Channel in July. There is a special treat coming up for all of us Browncoat wearing Firefly fans out there. Jewel Staite (Kaylee) and Sean Maher (Simon) will guest star in an episode called “Mild Mannered”.

Urban Fantasy Short Story Now Available on Amazon

The rights to my urban fantasy short story “Blood, Magic, and a Concubine” reverted to me a few weeks ago – the magazine that held the rights closed and all rights reverted to authors and artists. I was sorry to see the magazine go, but I figured I might as well make the best of the situation. So, I uploaded the story to Amazon as a Kindle title. It’s just 99 cents, and it includes an excerpt from my novella Meat City in Meat City & Other Stories, which is available for purchase through Amazon, Black Bed Sheet Books, and other stores.

I thought I would add an excerpt from “Blood, Magic, and a Concubine” here so you can see if it is something that you might like to read. Other tales from Underbelly are coming as well, including “Nine-Tenths”, which will be a free story on this site, and a novella called Light of the Silvery Moon, which features Johnny Stone and a pack of irate werewolves who are trying to figure out who killed a prominent member of the Blackpool Pack.

Enough of my rambling, click for the excerpt.
