maybe the only good thing I do

I help out with an animal rescue. I foster dogs that are awaiting a permanent family. I also help with other things. It is possibly the only truly good thing that I do. That rescue needs help. They are trying so hard to stay afloat so that they can continue to save lives. It isn't easy for a non-profit to make it in this economy. You can help. Below is a link that will let you give any amount that you can. Even a dollar makes a difference! Plus, your donation is tax deductible! Yay! tax deduction!

All God's Creatures

That link will take you to the go fund me page. Just go look at it.

Dogs and Men

Okay children, I have shared this before, but things have gotten more real since then. All God's Creatures is a small animal rescue in Columbus, KS. They have, over the last few years saved and homed hundreds if dogs and cats that may otherwise have been euthanized. They do good work. Great work.

They need a building. They have wanted to buy or build their own building for a long time. In the interim they have been using the Columbus Shelter to house dogs. They are losing the ability to use those facilities. If they cannot raise money soon, they will be out of business. No one else will fill the need and the animals will suffer.

If your read this annoying blog, follow the link and give a buck to help out.

Thank you

Something about a limbic system

Over at amazon, one customer wrote the following about my strange book:

Okay, so say you're channel surfing, and you come across ... oh I don't know, The Reaper, and you think to yourself, not a bad premise--a bunch of kids, minimum wage employment, some cute girls, lots of supernatural elements ... but something's missing--what the hell's missing from this picture? And then it dawns on you; Bukowski! Bukowski is missing. If Buk could rise up from the dead and find employment as one of the writers for The Reaper, you'd have something pretty similar to Stygiophilia, a fast paced, tight-lined, no holds barred, brick to the head, macabre tale of one man's quest for absolution.

This is a great read. A quick read (98 pages), but a great one none the less. Nathan gets in and gets out, but still manages to slowly reveal a horrific back story that shapes everything the narrator (and the reader) experiences.

My only issue with the book is the layout, but that's just (I assume) a technical issue and easily overlooked once you get cruising along with the story line, which--from a writing standpoint--is liquid smooth.
