Whaddaya MEAN you've never heard of me?!?
Jan. 4th, 2011 05:23 pmPeople sometimes apologize to me because they didn't know I was a writer, or because they've never heard of me. I find it very odd that they would (or at least feel that they should) be sorry for such a thing. It's not as if I'm famous, or even locally famous. As long as I have to keep my crappy day-job, I'm not going to expect anyone I don't actually know to be aware of who the hell I am. If you look hard enough, you can probably find people who have never heard of Stephen King.
That said, I am always a little vexed when people I actually do know have NO IDEA that I write things and produce things and am just generally enthusiastic about and involved in the horror community as much as possible. Granted, my area kind of sucks for horror. Every time I think something cool is gonna go down, it ends up disappointing. Being able to screen and review Opstandelsen was a great treat though, I must say. Some of those film festival films were enormous fun--and a few were really, really cool.
In the interest of keeping everyone informed, I am now going to pimp some things that I do. Like virtually every writer, I have a website. All the regular stuff is there: bio, info on the published works--including downloadable chapters, various ways to catch up with me, reviews and interviews, etc. There's also a separate blog, just for professional stuff, that I update once or twice a month.
I contribute regularly to Zombie Zone News. They have a lot of great Zombie stuff over there, and some very deadicated writers. (see what I did thar?) Almost done with an article on Diary of the Dead. At first, I thought it was a steaming pile of crap. I sat down and watched it again, and well...you'll just have to read the article to hear my astonishing conclusions.
I'm also writing a monthly piece for the verbosely titled League of Extraordinary Women of Paranormal and Horror blog. Fun group of chicks over there, with posts on ghosts and hauntings, horror movies and books, and my own Ladies of Villainy series, which requires a bit of scrolling to see (I always say who I am at the top of my posts). I have a series coming up on female survivors in various horror milieus.
Like the great Scott Sigler before me, I produce my novels (and a few short stories) as audiobook chapters. I give them away at iTunes, and on my website in a podcast called Take a Stab at THIS!. The actors are awesome, though you can tell that I spent less than $200 on my audio equipment. My only review says it's a really good podcast that sounds like it was recorded in a cave. Frown and fie. The music is varied and wonderful. And in fact, soon we're going to have a feature that allows you to download just the music for the various podcasts. My musical peeps are large like that. It'll be well worth checking out.
I'm also on the Facebook. My name is Wednesday Lee Friday. Type it into the searchy thing and watch for the picture of me to come up. I've been told I look like a female Alfred Hitchcock. I'm surprisingly okay with that.
So yeah, that's basically my whole deal.
Now you know.
