Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
Visit the main page on Alex Cavanaugh’s Blog. The term Author Platform twists my gut into a tangle. I know what it is, and I know what I’m supposed to do. But executing things like engaging people online is darn right difficult. A lot of the times, I read status updates or blog posts and…
Is it really here? A new year? Geez. Where did 2013 go? Time rushes past—a blur of memories. I think something happened this past year. Oh yes, quite a lot. I might have fried some brain circuits trying to remember it all. The big things are easy. I had a kid. I published a book….
To everyone out there, I wish you love, health, and happiness this holiday season. I leave you with a remake of a song I love.
A pirate walks into a bar with a paper towel on his head. The bartender says, “What’s with the paper towel?” The pirate says, “Arrr! I’ve got a Bounty on me head!” Ah pirates. How can you not love them? And speaking of loving pirates… Have you heard of this book by Ashley Nixon? I…

Today we have Aldrea Alien giving us a top ten. This top ten? Top Ten Mundane Animals in Fantasy (Loni) Take it away, Aldrea! Usually when someone says fantasy and animals in the same sentence, it brings to mind dragons and unicorns and griffons and the like. Fantastical creatures, while fun, are not always practical….
So, I hadn’t realized that writing in Starbucks was a thing until my buddy ohnosarge brought it up in a tweet one day. She directed me to Family Guy who mocks those coffee shop writers as needing to be seen working on their craft. Imagine my eyebrows climbing to my hairline. That led to a…
Yes, I know, I look like an idiot. I said November 5th, then the 19th. Well, the release date has been pushed to December 5th because I botched something in the details. But it’s really going to happen this time. The book is on Goodreads, so that must count for something. This image on the…
