The Board is open again. The chat room is gone for good, at least until we get a new chat system.

Forum and Chat Room Closed

Tue, 23 May 2006 18:37:33 +0000

Unfortunately, I have to close the board and chat room for a while. I don’t know exactly how long it’ll be, but if you’d like to be emailed when they’re open again, send an email to me at dave@johnsteakley.com

Custom Rank for Johnny Cat

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 15:44:38 +0000

Longtime reader and board regular Johnny Cat, has become the very first of the Lost Boys to post more than 600 messages on the bulletin board. You may be thinking, what? 600 messages? But most of them are inane, senseless ramblings.

That’s besides the point. He’s done 600 posts, and earned a custom rank.

So come to the bulletin board, where the action is fast and furious, and vote for Johnny’s custom rank!

There? You guys happy now? I’m posting news.

What the Hell’s Going on Around Here?

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 15:41:37 +0000

A lot of people… well, some people… okay, fine, one annoying jerk, has been asking why I haven’t updated the front page in a long time.

The short answer is, there hasn’t been a whole lot of news.

The longer answer is, there hasn’t been a whole lot of news. Steakley appeared at ConDFW V, which I probably should have announced, but I assumed everyone kind of assumed that. He’s still working on Armor 2. I hope to get a BIG chunk of pages to post here, and he’s promised to give them to me, but it’s taking a lot longer than I thought (obviously).

Anyhow, my apologies. I promise to announce all future con appearances.

More Op-Ed Pieces

Thu, 26 May 2005 19:51:02 +0000

The other 2 op-ed pieces are up now in the Lost Writings section. At ConDFW, Steakley gave me another 20 pages of Armor 2, I hope to have them up soon.

GABRIEL!!!!

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 19:46:54 +0000

Years ago, Steakley found a fragment of a novel called Gabriel he’d never finished, and he gave it to me. At the last chat, finally, he gave me permission to share it with all of you. I’ve renamed the Op/Ed section to Lost Writings. Gabriel’s there now, eventually it’ll include all of John’s out of print short stories, the op-ed pieces he’s given me, and Gabriel, for as long as he’s willing to let it sit here.

Don’t Forget: Condfw IV

Once again, John Steakley will be appearing at ConDFW, this year held from February 25-27 at the Raddison in Richardson, TX.

Chat transcript now up!

Sat, 08 Jan 2005 06:38:15 +0000

There was a chat w/ Steakley on December 17th, and the transcript is now up in the Interviews section (at the bottom). Steakley tells jokes, gives permission for me to post part of Gabriel, a novel he started years ago but never finished, and we discuss his op/ed pieces.

Another New Section!

John’s written some Op/Ed pieces for his local paper. Generous guy that he is, he’s given me permission to post some of them! 2 of them are up RIGHT NOW, in the Op/Ed section.
