Although, like many professors, I rail against the use of Wikipedia as a source in my students’ research papers, I have to admit that it’s an extremely useful reference — as a writer, I often use it to quickly glean some little fact for a story. Moreover, inclusion in Wikipedia has become a sort […]

For some reason just about every novel manuscript I’ve worked on has had at its core some kind of mystery. Now, I’m sure there are writers who scrupulously outline their mysteries and figure out where every clue is going to be placed and how it all links in to the whole, but I’m afraid I’m […]

Just figured I’d provide a quick update here —
Fiction: I’m still working on the umpteenth draft of King’s Monster. At the moment, it’s going slowly because of my nonfiction writing commitments, but I’m hoping that after my Big Bad Deadline of July 3-4, I might be able to settle into it more comfortably. I’ve […]

(I quickly whipped this up for a friend over at LJ who tagged me with “make up a fictional memory about us.” Since it’s fiction, I figured I might as well post it here on my writing blog…!)
I don’t really like to think too much about that night. We were drinking too hard, Coz, you, […]

4.5 Stars. “Escape to the fantastic and captivating three-tiered city Pagliassotti has created. The plot is intricate and has multilayered characters who perplex, entertain, and gratify. This is a wonderfully written book — one for the keeper shelf.” — Romantic Times

Click here to see the Clockwork Heart book promo videos that California Lutheran University’s multimedia students made for my novel — you can also see them on YouTube.
I’m going to be offline for a while as I move, so forgive me if this blog slows down over the next week. Mmmm, moving — I love […]

One of my fellow yaoi scholars sent me a link to today’s New York Times article, Steampunk Moves Between 2 Worlds (see BugMeNot passwords), which discusses the steampunk aesthetic in fashion and design. Alas, Clockwork Heart isn’t mentioned, but it’s great to see mainstream media attention being given to the steampunk movement.
Wired ran an article […]
