Duncan thornton, his blog. Notes about writing and things. Newer posts →. 3-Day Novel (1), why? I thought I’d begin by writing about the 3-Day Novel contest. I’d had an idea, years ago, for an eerie, HP Lovecraft-goes to the Interlake sort of story the initial image being, if I can recall, a man whose girlfriend had disappeared in the water (and he’s pretty sure she didn’t drown).

Duncan thornton, his blog. Notes about writing and things. Books and Babies and Vampires. My wife had the launch for her new book last weekend at McNally-Robinson Booksellers here in Winnipeg*. This was almost certainly more fun for me than it was for her, because she had to do the reading and the signing and things while I didn’t have to do anything but listen and eat and drink by the light of her. What does it feel like to publish a book? In this case to Anne Rice’s. Interview with the Vampire* *.
