A Call to Arms

A month or so ago, one of my readers was kind enough to create a Wikipedia page for The Painted Man.

The article is a stub however, and will be deleted soon if some other user does not help to expand it. I would do it myself, but I feel that it would be inappropriate for an author to edit his own wiki page unless it is to correct an error (and even then, it is something best done through channels).

If anyone reading this is a Wikipedia editor, or is willing to become one, I would really appreciate some help on this. If you have any questions about sections you would like to expand, feel free to e-mail you and I can answer questions or send out some of my notes on whatever the topic is.

Thanks!

In other news, I am doing my first public reading in a couple of hours, at the World Fantasy Convention in Calgary. I don’t mind telling you all that I am nervous as fucking hell about it. Haven’t slept a wink.

Since it’s Halloween, I am going to dress up a little for the reading, putting on the temproary ward tattoos that my editor at Voyager, Emma Coode sent me, which were part of an early marketing campaign. I tested one and it looked great, but it hurt like mad when it started to come off and pulled off some arm hair.

Ow.

  2. Baby oil works like a charm to get those temp. tattoos off.

    I’ve had to remove one or 2 dozen of them… Grrrr…

  3. I’ve never done anything on wikipedia, but I should have some time on my hands. 😉 Will have a look-see what I can do there. 🙂
