Hi! I'm Joe! I'm the editor/overlord of Point of Impact Publishing, heroic purveyors of trashy action fiction, including the Frenzi series by R. J. Calder, Lash, by Clint Reno, and Cell Block by Sterling Dodge!
Another legendary "killer creature" story for Halloween reading is the bloody yarn “Mad Monkeys,” included in the full-color, expanded edition of our men's adventure magazine story and art anthology WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH! (amzn.to/3Zps7Ow). It appeared in 4 different men's adventure mags. #booksky
This is your monthly reminder that while the film SILK (1986) kinda, sorta sucked, it featured leading lady, Cec Verrell, kicking all kinds of ass as a very groovy, very tough gal. The TV in the PoI Bullpen plays this twice a day.
Patrick Stewart was my favorite starship captain. But as an action movie junkie, I also got a kick out of his role in Gunmen as the man you thought was the chief baddie but was outclassed by Dennis Leary, and in Masterminds as the best not-Hans Gruber for the PG-13 crowd. RIP, legend.
Paperbacks arrived! 318 pages of atmosphere, dread, death, & unspeakable horrors in medieval Germany. Devilry in Godling Wood is out now.

Smart. Scary. But also funny? This Alley guy can do it all. Haven't tried him yet? I recommend starting with Apartment 239, but I doubt you'll be disappointed with any of his releases. Dive in and remember: Keep the lights on while reading. The dark isn't safe.

Just watched: The Rowdy Girls. A low-budget softcore western that is a loving homage to the classic B-westerns, but with hot ladies and their boobs. Sure, I haven't watched a movie in MONTHS, so it makes sense that this is what I put on in this hotel.
Herein lies the struggle. When people hear you are a writer, they think "to form words by or as if by marking characters or symbols on a surface" and devalue you because *everyone* can do that. They do not grasp that it takes skill "to communicate with in writing." AI has worsened that gap.
The hotel I am staying at for work appears to have been built in the last week. My room still smells of paint. There are roofers working and the staff is being trained today. There is no coffee maker in my room but a 24-hour carafe in the lobby. I've visited it multiple times tonight.
I spent a year without work after DOGE, and missed out on several positions that required AI fluency, even though the actual teams had no idea what that meant, just that "the clients want it." And that's not even touching the various hiring/screening shenanigans that companies offloaded to junk AI.
lindsey adler@lindseyadler.bsky.social · 4d agothis is a good story but barely addresses the way AI has demolished the job hunting/hiring system. it's like living on a different planet and people who have full time permanent jobs do not understand the situation at all. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
Had a four-and-a-half hour drive into New York for work and my string of travel misadventures continues. 37 years of age and never been pulled over for speeding. Until today. Can't argue. It went from 45mph to 30mph just in front of the Cranberry fire department. And I was going 48mph. Ah well...
The man the Mafia couldn't kill is in Italy to save a little girl. He's hunting the kidnappers with the aid of a disfigured ex-cop. Everyone is out for a kill. Frenzi will make sure they are out to die. Amazon/Kobo books2read.com/wheninromeki... Itch point-of-impact.itch.io/frenzi-when-...

It's 11:33pm. I've been up since 5:40am, worked at the Day Job, spent an hour helping at a different store, cooked dinner, decompressed with a vidya game, and now, instead of the smart adult thing (going to bed), I'm gonna do a bit of writing. The typewriters are click-clacking away in the Bullpen.
All my games are discounted on Steam right now, so if you have a little extra jingle in your pocket, it’s a great time to take advantage! store.steampowered.com/developer/gr...

So, PGH Book Fest applications are open: pghbookfest.org I've applied for Writer's Row, but it got me thinking about how much I've wanted to do a #NoirAtTheBar here in #Pittsburgh. Naturally, it would officially be separate from Book Fest, but it would be nice to get a group together. Thoughts?
Happy Halloween, Boppers! I'll read Shirley Jackson & William Shakespeare, I'll tell you about familiar screams & howls, and play Florence + the Machine, David Lynch, Goblin, Jullee Cruise, and more. (Plus: a thread of all October's spooky episodes for ya!) www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wt...

Man, I can read books and write books (don't fricking talk to me about marketing), but I can't watch movies anymore. Damn it, I miss movies! I've fallen asleep trying to watch the last two movies I selected...and they were good! I need to rewire my brain. Not sure how yet...
I’m participating in the Romance Book Blast, hosted by www.romancebooklovers.com, where lots of books are free right now. My #spicy #scifi book Ariana Takes Command is free for the next few days: www.amazon.com/Ariana-Takes... I’m sure you can find something you want to read. #BookSky 💙😬
A priest turned bard named Silver Ear seeks fortune in Hagen's court but becomes entangled in unraveling a secret lurking in Godling Wood, where a creature so old she doesn't know her origin (though she's curious to learn) stalks the night.
Chapter 5: Dead Stop, of The Bartender: Old Fashioned Onslaught is done. I'm digging the pace and feel like this is going the way I want. I'm a little scared I don't have the ending in mind yet, but I have ten chapters to figure that out.
