Author chat with Andrew Ian Dodge

Category: Announcements

Tonight I am doing a chat over at the Carnival of Wicked Writers chat room. Needless to say we will be discussing about my Cthulhu writings as well as the Gathering Dark & other tales. I will be appearing at 7pm est. Direct Link to chat.

I might ask the gore-hounds what sort of horrid end we can think up for the spammers that are making our lives miserable of late. Mike’s readers have made a few suggestions.

    Note: testing a few trackbacks here (where I’ve turned people off till the latest attack subsided). Delete them if you wish.

    Cool. That trackback ended up in moderation, just where it should be with those URLs in it. :)

    Cool, its just a shame you have waste so much time chasing down the bloody spam trackbacks.

    More of a question, really – is “The Gathering Dark” available in bookstores Stateside, or is it only available by ordering online? And how are things in general?

    I believe you can order it at your local bookstore or just order it from the publisher that is linked on the book cover on the left of this blog.

    Nice to hear from you Dave. You on MSN or anything?

    One of my sites (uses WordPress for the backend) has finally started getting comment spam. I am installing a visual confirmation plugin right now to stop it. Hopefully people will not find it too bothersome :)

    Hey Marty – Nope, I’m mostly online whenever I can get to the library. I have a computer at home, but haven’t gotten internet service yet.
