* I'm 36 years old. My body feels 50, but my mind feels somewhere around 20.
* My birthday is 9/11.
* I'm married to Glenda. We have a 10-year-old son, Jamie, and another boy due in February!
* I can't stand the taste of beer. Love whiskey, though. My favorite drink is Diet Dr. Pepper & Jack Daniels.
* I can't blow a bubble with gum. Never have been able to, for some reason.
* I'm a huge Batman fan, but I like to pretend that Robin doesn't "exist" in my Dark Knight's world.
* I'm a Christian, but a very liberal one. I hate closed-minded, bigoted asshole "Christians" just as much as you do. Really. That's *not* me, or what Christianity is supposed to stand for.
* I'm a published writer, but don't make nearly enough $$$ at it yet to quit my full-time job. Hell, I don't know if I would want to anyway, as I'm a family man who needs those benefits. By day, I'm a Production Planner for a big printing company -- I've been involved in manufacturing the o-cards (the paperboard sleeves that DVD cases slide into) for some really cool movies lately: MARTYRS, TEETH, CORALINE, new editions of HELLRAISER and ARMY OF DARKNESS, INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, the BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM video game.
* My favorite non-horror movies are LEON (THE PROFESSIONAL), HEAT, PULP FICTION, KILL BILL, STAND BY ME, OLD SCHOOL, and MEET THE PARENTS.
* Despite my favorite genre of music being hard rock and metal of the 70's/80's, I love a lot of stuff that would probably kill any "metal cred" I've built up: Linkin Park, Godhead, Stabbing Westward, Nine Inch Nails, As I Lay Dying, 30 Seconds To Mars, some Korn . . . not to mention some rap, when I'm in the mood: Eminem, D12, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop, Lil' Wayne.
* I'm also a sucker for 80's pop: Duran Duran, Pat Benatar, etc.
* My favorite writer of all time: a tie between Joe R. Lansdale and Ed Gorman. Used to be King, but he's lost me the last 10 years or so (though I do still read everything he does, eventually).
* One of my favorite writers of all time mentioned above, Ed Gorman, wrote the Foreword to the limited edition of my first novel. I can't begin to tell you how cool that was. And in July '08, I was on several panels with Joe Lansdale as a fellow Guest at a sci-fi/fantasy/horror convention in Nashville, TN. Can't believe I made it through that weekend without shouting "I'm not worthy!"
* I fucking despise 99.999999999% of all country music. Nah, might as well just make that 100%.
* I love da blues.
* I hate rednecks.
* Can't stand most death metal. There are very, very rare exceptions, but they're so rare I can't even think of any right now.
* I hate the SAW series (after the first one). Also hate the FINAL DESTINATION series. And anything to do with TWILIGHT. Don't get me started.
* I can do without just about any slasher movie these days. Don't hate 'em, I guess, but I won't go out of my way to see them.
* I'm so utterly sick of zombie movies and books. I wish this subgenre would die (no pun intended) for a while.
* In addition to being a writer, I've also dabbled in original music/sound-FX for audiobooks of my own and for other writers.
* I hate sports. Hate 'em. With one glaring exception: I'm a fanatic for NCAA basketball (go Tarheels!!!).
* Boobs rock.
But enough about me! Who cares, right?
