Holiday Round-Up

  Happy Holidays! I've been extremely busy on many fronts, personal and professional -- and now that I'm on a brief holiday break, I'm catching up with obligations and promises.  I plan to get the next issue of The Goreletter out soon, but for now I thought I'd give everyone a quick round-up of what's happening in Arnzenland lately: Big news:  The Gorelets Omnibus is scheduled for a January 2012 release!  If you preorder a copy directly from Raw Dog Screaming Press (publisher of my other books, 100 Jolts & Play Dead), you'll get a free collector's item! Get the…

The Cowbird Diary: http://cowbird.com/author/mike-arnzen/

I was kindly invited to keep a personal diary on the impressive new website, cowbird.com and despite my heavy workload I decided to give it a whirl.  The whole cowbird website might pull you in -- there are some amazing things happening there, with tons of authentic storytelling, lots of great photos and some humbling reports from the trenches of everyday life.  The shared "saga" approach to community journalism is unique, too.  You can find my profile on http://cowbird.com/author/mike-arnzen/  Haven't been journaling for awhile now, and while I've always preferred to keep my daily life private, this still seemed like…

Gorelets.com will be down this weekend for maintenance

My website, gorelets.com is currently down for roughly 48 hours of maintenance. I will post an update here when the status changes. A piece of malware was discovered in the system that was running the gallery on the site. It is not a virus that can harm any visitor's machine, but it did corrupt files on my server and was spreading wantonly.  Beyond this, the worst thing this malware could do was redirect visitors to spam sites at random times. I am in the process of purging and scrubbing all files to make the site squeaky clean. While I do…
