I just finished reading Gretzky’s Tears by Stephen Brunt. It’s a stand-out among hockey books. My review (as posted on Goodreads): Stephen Brunt is one of my all-time favorite sportswriters, and has been for years. I always loved his columns in the Globe & Mail, enjoyed Searching for Bobby Orr very ...

Christopher Columbus: "Hello there, hello there. Heh, heh. Ahh ... We white men. Other side of ocean. My name ... Chris-to-pher Co-lum-bus." Indian chief: "Oh? You over here on a Fulbright?" Christopher Columbus: "Hah? Uh, no, no. I'm over here on an Isabella, as a matter of fact. Which reminds me: ...

To paraphrase Voltaire on the unfortunate Admiral Byng, in this country it is wise to throw a central banker under the bus from time to time to encourage the others. I nominate Helicopter Ben for chief encourager.

Tim Quirk, former singer for my favorite band Too Much Joy, wrote a piece about his most recent royalty statement from Warner Brothers. All I can say is at least as an author your chances of owing your publisher three hundred thousand dollars (technically) is pretty remote. (Thanks to my pal Jeof Vi ...

Hot on the heels of the Jackets’ new corporate partnership with Subway, they’ve announced another partnership with another restaurant chain: Bob Evans. As a Crew season ticket holder, I have three little words to say about this: BUCK A BRAT. And now, those of you who are firmly convinced that Steve ...

I noticed when I picked up lunch yesterday at the Fifth & North Star Subway that they had some signs up about the Jackets, and the guy who made my sandwich was wearing a CBJ/Subway t-shirt. And now I see why. No doubt every little bit of money helps, especially in this economy. So it’s good to see t ...

Smashwords just got a deal to supply the Kindle store at a better rate for indie authors. The number is most impressive, 44.5%, and reflects, I guess, Smashwords’ better vetting and production values. That % is better than the 35% you’d get for going it alone in dtp.amazon.com.

Per the deliriously entertaining IO9.com, author Lynn Viehl has posted one of her royalty statements on the web for all to see. This is balls, if you ask me. This is America, for god’s sake, and what we earn at our vocations or avocations is sacred privacy, because that way the secret lizard aliens ...
