Yes, Mr. Melko, the laughter helps keep the darkness at bay.

And Paul, Dr. Who has gotten darker in this new iteration. I’m digging it.

And Laurie! Thanks for stopping by this little blogging outpost.

Hey Moses, sorry about the long wait on the reply. But I realized that my next post may address your question.

Some of those people aren’t “rising stars” but are already there. Still, a good place to start.

I’d also add Jack Skillingstead, a friend of mine who’s got a collection and a first novel out right now. Beautiful stuff.

I just realized the REAL genre your writing in… Doctor Who. Sci-Fi, Horror, Mystery with the odd bit of humor thrown in.

For the first time in a VERY long time I watched a newish episode of Doctor Who last night. I had forgotten the horror/mystery part of the show. So too many Sundays at midnight during your formative years is now showing its effects.

You’re so funny. Keeps the world at a distance, doesn’t it.

Good job.

Great interview DJ – you interview as well as you write! Can’t wait for my copy of the new book to arrive. Miss you & yours!

Hey Daryl, I hope this is a good spot to ask you this. If not, feel free to email me or send an owl.

I’m looking around for some other whipper snapper novelists such as yourself that you’d recommend keeping up with, especially people who are relatively new to the scene. I’m hoping to break into this highly glamorous field at some point, and I’m wondering who else might be fun to read, watch, and cyber-hang with along the way.

Hi, Moses! Thanks for stopping by here again. But thanks especially for the pre-order.

12 Days until the Official Launch! I should really start planning a party or something.

Great, JR. Now *that’s* in my head.

(Actually, I love these bluegrass/rock cover songs. One of my favorites is the cover of Cheap Trick’s “I Want You to Want Me” by a band I’ve forgotten but that I’m confident you could track down — it sounds like the song was meant to be played that way.
