If you’re waiting for new chapters to Part II, I’ve got five new chapters written, but it’s a pretty pivotal moment and they’re taking me a while to finish. Also, working on another song, so there’s that. Thanks a lot to those who have donated so far, whether it’s for Part I, II, or [...]

Check out the new interview with me on Smashwords Books Reviewed. While you’re at it, check out the books by the interviewer, Neil Crabtree.

Found out that a UK print magazine is going to include the introduction to TABOTD Part II.  The editor said it’s a tribute to Bukowski, and at first I didn’t know what to give him.  Though my first novel is definitely Bukowski-esque (basically “Taxi Driver” starring Henry Chinaski) that’s not really where my head’s at [...]

I’ve been blogging for a while now.  There aren’t too many blogs I still read from when I first started – in part because blogs come and go.  The first incarnation of The American Book of the Dead was included in the Cabal way back, but I wasn’t ready to go live with the book [...]

New interview with me at the Kindle Author blog.  For some reason, this escaped me in other interviews, but it’s true.
The plot came about in a dream—no kidding. The book’s in part about a writer working on a novel who starts dreaming about people who turn out to be real. In the dreams he’ll see [...]

Just received an email from a reader saying that he wanted to put his review of my novel up on Amazon, but he chose not to, so as to not alienate potential readers of his own books. So I’m posting it here. He titled it “A Wake-Up Call.”
If you’re not a death-cult end-of-days [...]

There’s a new interview up with me by Todd Keisling, in which I get into my grand, unrealistic plans for the novel.
TK: Let’s talk about the writing thing. Why do you do it?
HB: I want to change how people think.  I have grand megalomaniacal plans – most of which won’t play out.  But [...]
