Good day, Dorks! This is your goth-loving dork-dating cruise director, Wendy the Webmistress. Well, folks I noticed that John hasn’t been able to update in awhile, and after taking a look at his schedule I can see why. So I figured to keep you all entertained until he stops in from parts unknown, I would […]

OK. I should have gotten this list out a while ago, but here are most of the stops I’m likely to make on the Dork Tower World Tour, 2003. (also known as DeathMarch 2003 — yes, there WILL be t-shirts). Warpcon January 24, 25, 26 Cork, Ireland * Guest of Honor New York Toy Fair […]

Life’s crazy again. Dork Tower #21, the Dork Tower Lord of the Rings Special and the third printing of Dork Shadows have all just gone to press. Dork Tower #21 is what I’m calling the Nervous Breakdown Issue, mostly because life here’s been insane what with one thing and another these last six to eight […]

Next Sunday, I turn 40. The closeness of the date (November 24, thanks for asking) has really just hit me, because — frankly — life’s been far too busy recently for me to even spare it a thought. As an early birthday present, my dear friend (and Army of Dorkness Major General) Reyne bought us […]

Dorkstock is over. I’m exhausted, and amazed by what the committee was able to pull off. Huge thanks to Lori Ann Curley, the Dorkstock Coordinator. Now, next stop is Essen, Germany! I’ll be there this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, signing at the Feder & Schwert (booth 153, hall 6), celebrating the launch of Livin’ La […]

First, a brief note. SnapDragons #1 just got its first pro review, and they like us! They really like us! Sorry. I’ll stop chanelling Sally Fields now… I love phrases like “I can’t recommend this one highly enough.” Liz and I will be celebrating later. Tonight AND at Dorkstock. Grin. Anyhoo, from Comic Book Resources […]

First: the brief update: ___________________ I’ve added another day at Essen (Germany)! I’ll now be there Friday, Saturday AND Sunday at the Feder & Schwert booth! See above for dates and signing times. Now, the not-so-brief update: ___________________ DORKSTOCK, HO! The first ever Dorkstock (Saturday, October 12, 2002 – Sunday, October 13, 2002) gets ever […]

Dork Covenant will be released in French soon, and my publishers in Paris asked me to write an introduction to it. In the middle of writing it, I discovered that a joke I was making actually turned into a good point. And it’s not that often that I make good points, so I thought I’d […]

Hey, All! I’m furiously at work on a new Muskrat Ramblings (at last), and there’s a LOT to talk about. Not least of which are the new games that are finished, SnapDragons #1 that’s in stores now, the French version of Dork Covenant, the Dorkstock line-up (My LAST American appearance of the year! Come to […]
