Another one on hiatus until March 2010??? #flashforward, how you mock me!Posted 4 hours ago from Twitter view more
Cooking (Food Network rules!), computers, Texas Hold 'Em, reading, composing music, photography and of course, writing.
My musical tastes are pretty eclectic - light classical, opera, jazz, rock, punk, alternative, grunge, funk, Latin, some hip-hop, some country. Jimmy Buffett's one of my faves.
I still think of Springsteen as The Boss, that "southern" rock died when Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed, that Joe Walsh is the greatest rock guitarist that ever lived and Jim Morrison is alive and well somewhere in Africa.
Most types interest me - thrillers, sci-fi, comedy (romantic or otherwise). I have an aversion to slasher movies or anything else with gratuitous violence.
One of my favorite movies of all time is Groundhog Day, but the movie that made me laugh the hardest ever was Best In Show. In fact, I like just about every movie Bill Murray's ever made.
I read everything - from Dan Brown to Joe Finder to Clive Cussler in popular fiction and almost anything in the Western Canon. Biographies, history and "travel books" (a la Paul Theroux) in non-fiction.
The Autoimmune Epidemic by Donna Jackson Nakazawa is one book I highly recommend to anyone concerned about the frightening increase in autoimmune diseases sweeping the Western world.
Anyone who is able to spin a good enough yarn to capture the public's imagination. J.D. Salinger, Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, John Steinbeck all come to mind.
Completed one spec script (and nearly sold it); have two other completed works.
Have several articles published in tech magazines and ezines.
Five novels in various stages of completion. Recently published a short fiction / poetry anthology.
I'm a writer of several non-fiction articles published in print and online. My first collection of short stories and poetry, entitled "In The Foothills," was recently published by Foothills Villa Publishing.
In addition, I've written three screenplays and I'm currently writing my fourth. When I have time, I make progress on my first full-length novel.
The name "Michael C. Cordell" is a pseudonym.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
