Something Wicked this Way Comes – Oh No, It’s Already Here!
Hello everyone. Mik Murdoch here again (and to all of you villains, Mike Plested and his family are safely hidden and under the protection of powerful friends of mine). If you recall the last time I posted here, I had some concerns about an up-and-coming book titled A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evil. The book was scheduled for release June 1, 2013 and is a compendium of evil knowledge for new bad guys.

It always amazes me how much difference a couple days make. Monday, I was feeling a bit down for several reasons and today I am re-energized. Manic-depressive, much? The truth is, it doesn’t take much to drag you down. It also doesn’t take much to lift your spirits. In my case, I was notified that someone nominated Get Published for a Parsec award. For those of you who don’t know, Parsecs are podcasting awards. I have been fortunate to have been nominated every year Get Published has been out. I’ve even been short-listed a couple times. Maybe this will be the year! This morning, I got an email from Katharina Bordet telling me that my short story “You Can Never Go […]
