To build on the spirit of recent success, i have sent out two more Lampreyhead stories to editors.

Hey! My first ever review!

From "The Fix"  at http://thefix-online.com/reviews/town-drunk-feb-2008/
The astonishingly perceptive Carole Ann Moleti quotes extensively from "Lampreyhead" and says:

Almost every sentence of “Lampreyhead Meets the Vampire Slaughterers” is a one-liner or parody of paranormal romance and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Every time I read it, I found something else and laughed harder.

I am working on a story that has Kurt Vonnegut as a character. He makes a favorable impression on the reader. I am using quotes from essays and speeches for his portion of the dialogue.
Is this a good idea to do this?
Should I instead invent a vonnegutesque character?

The first Lampreyhead is up at The Town Drunk.

New Lampreyhead story finished and sent to Noble Fusion East for critique.

Watching "Dexter." The season is based on the novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter." The series is better than the book. Which means it's pretty good and worth seeing, if you don't mind a really icky anti-hero.

Finished the second draft of the Lampreyhead story.

Have a couple of ideas:
LH meets Kurt Vonnegut, who turns out is possessed by the Great Old Ones.
LH meets Ben Franklin, the most accomplished super-villain in history.
LH creation story: how did Vlad cheat him in the finals to become King of the Vampires?

My mother would prefer I write to explore the human condition. Yeah, right. She wants grandkids too.
