Bill Campbell is a native Pittsburgher. Throughout his varied and illustrious career, he has done everything from assembling Christmas toys in Cleveland; loading trucks, bookkeeping, and being an AmeriCorps volunteer in Atlanta; coordinating an elementary school literacy program in D.C. to teaching English as a second language in the Czech Republic. He's also the former publisher of the independent magazine, Contraband, and the music trade magazine, CD Revolutions.

Bill came out with Sunshine Patriots, a semi-satirical, military sf novel, back in 2004. My Booty Novel, which he likes to call "fluff for nerds," came out in 2007. His new book, Pop Culture: Politics, Puns, and "Poohbutt" from a Liberal Stay-at-Home Dad was released in September

“Separately, they called our English teacher to register their horror at their offspring being taught about witches, which apparently was an insult to both Islam and Christianity. The English teacher instructed us to white-out the word witches and write in weird sisters.”
Bill Campbell, Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond

“The terminals filled me with the nutrients that I technically needed. I was a cavernous and empty well, and they tipped a thimbleful of water into my depths.”
Bill Campbell, Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond

“Hyenas don’t have feeling,” Auntie Fadia said. “Their laughter is only pretense.” “I”

Carrie Good morning Bill!

How are you?

I was supposed to send this message with your invitation....yes well....I am not so good with computer skills (which is pretty evident)....so here it is!

Greetings from England!

I am sorry I have been so busy on promotions and rarely get the pleasure to indulge myself on this site but I just wanted to invite you personally to listen to the BBC, who invited both myself and 8 Joni-Pip avids to appear on their show Go4it!

It's probably impossible to listen to the BBC in your neck of the woods but I wanted to invite you anyway.

I hope all is going spiffingly with you!

Carrie

Erin Phelps I worked for AmeriCorps too! It's still one of the best things I've ever done.


Jeremy I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

Jeremy Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)

P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Jeremy Hi Bill!

Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.

-Jeremy :)

Jeremy Thanks for sharing, Bill! I really appreciate it. INVISIBLE MAN is quite the awesome novel.

Happytimes,
Jeremy :)

Jeremy Hi Bill!

If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite novel of all time?

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous friendships, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

-Jeremy :)
