- About Me:
- PulpStar works an angle - dare we say - unique to the field of crime fiction: the chance for you to STAR in your own "vintage" pulp novel, Reunion with Death. We're talkin' a personalized story, killer. No two tales exactly alike. The same goes for our greeting cards and poster prints. You'd do well to resurrect the lost art of letter writin', friend. And while you're at it, why not frame somebody you love? (And implicate yourself at the same time!)
Who the hell wouldn't want be immortalized (and amoralized, even) as a hard-boiled dick or a dazzling dame, by way of a high school reunion, no less? Nobody, baby, that's who. That's right! It's time for you to be a cool customer and put your own whodunit on ice. And we're here to help. Our custom pulp stuff is straight from the fridge, dad.
Life's too short not to be the star of your own damn novel, especially one that offers two versions: with the gloves on, or with the gloves off. Either way, you're guaranteed twin fistfuls of the finest fictional smut money can buy: PulpStar smut.
*** SCI-FI EDITION COMING SOON ***

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
