There's something about Kater's worldview that is entertaining and fascinating.Matt Staggs is a really nice, cool guy.I jokingly told Colleen Lindsay I had 250 potential clients for her in her new role as literary agent, thinking she'd find that funny because she's overwhelmed with queries...and because she's a glutton for punishment, she was actually disappointed, so make my lie a reality--go forth and query her.The Night Shade messageboards are back up, including my archive of strangeness. I haven't posted there in awhile, but you'll find a whole virtual antho on my messageboard, stuff about strange jobs, and tons of other weirdness.The New Weird contest ends tomorrow night at midnight EST.
