In Case You're Wondering What To Get Me For My Birthday

CITY OF THE LOST
Joe Sunday’s dead. He just hasn’t stopped moving yet.
Sunday’s a thug, an enforcer, a leg-breaker for hire. When his boss sends him to kill a mysterious new business partner, his target strikes back in ways Sunday could never have imagined. Murdered, brought back to a twisted half-life, Sunday finds himself stuck in the middle of a race to find an ancient stone with the power to grant immortality. With it, he might live forever. Without it, he’s just another rotting extra in a George Romero flick.
Everyone’s got a stake, from a psycho Nazi wizard and a razor-toothed midget, to a nympho-demon bartender, a too-powerful witch who just wants to help her homeless vampires, and the one woman who might have all the answers — if only Sunday can figure out what her angle is.
Before the week is out he’s going to find out just what lengths people will go to for immortality. And just how long somebody can hold a grudge.
Now available for pre-order in the U.S from Mysterious Galaxy and in the U.K. from The Book Despoitory
Just Who Is This Psycho, Anyway?
Stephen Blackmoore is a pulp writer of little to no renown who once thought lighting things on fire was one of the best things a kid could do with his time. Until he discovered that eyebrows don't grow back very quickly.

As a writer he strives to be a hack. Hacks get paid.
He's not sure if hacks talk about themselves in the third person, though. That might just be a side effect of his meds.
His first novel, a dark urban fantasy titled CITY OF THE LOST will be coming out January 3rd, 2012 through DAW Books and will be available at all the fashionable bookstores. Hopefully some of the seedier ones, too.
His short stories and poetry have appeared in Plots With Guns, Needle, Spinetingler, Thrilling Detective, Shots, Demolition, Clean Sheets , Flashing In The Gutters and a couple of anthologies with authors far better than he is.
Occasionally he gets off his fat ass and helps edit (i.e. reads slush) NEEDLE: A MAGAZINE OF NOIR. You should buy a copy. Really. It's good.
He is represented by The Tartan Ninja, Allan Guthrie at Jenny Brown Associates
You can even stalk him on Twitter

Cool, innit?
"...it would be South African..."
I got my daughter one for her seventh birthday. Goes nicely with the BXP 9mm that her grandparents gave her - because, ya know, we South Africans are a feisty lot.
So how many of y'all are coming to the world cup next year?
Haven't gun laws in SA become as crazy - crazier even - than California? I've read that crime rates in some parts of SA are insane but that firearms ownership, even for self-defense, has become more and more restrictive.
It's difficult for me to tell the truth about this. Some sources on information are convinced communists are taking over and some sources just hate black people.
Great for the asshole who cuts you off.
Actually, would be pretty useful for the idiot who's buzzing his ex's house with his plane out by my mom's house. People are getting a bit irate with him, of late.
