Happy Thanksgiving

On this national day of giving thanks, it is nice to take a moment to pause and reflect on all the wonderful things you have.

So many in this great country have lost so much and in the last few months their numbers, sadly, have increased. And the coming year may test us even further . . .

Still I have so much to be thankful for. My family -- my wife and children, a house I can call my own, a job that offers me security and has taught me so much, the internet which allows me to reach out and help people find books, my love of reading and the wonderful authors eager to write their stories for me to read.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Outta Gas

The last few days have been very busy and taxing. We undead rats have such delicate constitutions that a few doctor trips, grocery trips all over (looking for the cheapest prices) and cleaning house for the holidays has really thrown me off.

For Horror Books with the Undead Rat I was a day late with the gift for the horror writer post and late with the re-post of the After Dark Horrorfest movie.

On The Lair of the Undead Rat I got the Spotlight post done on time but I totally missed the Monday Movie post. Part of the reason is that I'm still not sure if I want to move away from horror movies and do the other stuff I've been watching like Iron Man or Speed Racer. If I did that, I'd move the horror movies to With Intent which is already comfortable with the horror theme.

What do you think I should do? Keep Horror Books with the Undead Rat just horror literature or branch out into horror movies?

I'm Claiming Myself on Technorati

Hello there ladies and germs.

As part of my effort to integrate my Blogger account into the Undead Rat Family of Products (or whatever it is that I'm doing), I'm claiming this blog on Technorati. To do that I have to publish this page for their bots to scan. This page has to have this code:

Technorati Profile

Go figure.

I don't pretend to understand it I just jump through the hoops.

Thank you for your indulgence.

Begin Again

The last few months have been a time of transition for me. First by re-tasking The Lair of the Undead Rat and then re-vamping ...With Intent to Commit Horror, its taken weeks to begin to put the pieces into place.

Now I'm left with a Blogger, Vox and LiveJournal accounts which used to be just reprints of the horror blog. Although the occasional cross post or reprint won't hurt me, I've recently been told that Google doesn't like cross posting all over the place. So what do I do with these accounts?

I'm not sure what I'll do with the Vox account but I'll keep the LiveJournal account which is displaying a feed of the horror blog and will soon, hopefully, add a feed for The Lair.

Blogger, however will be The Undead Rat's personal journal. I've changed the template, added some gadgets and starting with this post I'll be adding new content that you can't get anywhere else.

We'll see how well this works.
