South By Southwest Interactive 2010 - Vote for Brilliant Life

Part of what I’ve been doing since changing jobs back in October 2008 is helping my boss move forward with a non-profit that he’s been working on for the last few years. The name of the organization is Brilliant Life, and the goal of the organization is to improve lives and change technology by providing technology training and careers to individuals who aren’t being given a chance to pursue those careers today. That includes juvenile and adult offenders, the homeless, displaced workers, etc... Read Full Story

“Castaway” to Appear in Boston Literary Magazine

Flickr photo by fiskfisk On Thursday, I got word that my story, “Castaway,” will be published in the Summer issue of the Boston Literary Magazine . The story is a recent creation, and a “literary” one at that, meaning that it doesn’t feature werewolves, vampires, private eyes, mobsters , purveyors of “the worlds most dangerous game” , hobbits, or quantum physicists from the future . Of course, I have found myself writing in and across most genres over the last few years, and I plan to... Read Full Story

Being a Father is Like…

…well, it’s like nothing else. Nothing at all. I am amazed, overjoyed, humbled, anxious, scared and excited–often all at the same time–every single day. My Son, whom I immortalized here holding a Spurs foam finger In Utero and who, pictured above, at 8 days old is already skilled at the Satrom-Heck Art of Fist Bumping (SHAFB), was born at St. Francis Medical Center in Colorado Springs, CO on March 20th at 4:25 p.m. The delivery didn’t exactly go to our birth plan, but, considering the...

Victory (Pretending that the finish line looks closer than it is)*
| From : brandonsatrom.com

Perhaps I should have noted this three weeks ago. On February 13th, 2009, I finished the first draft of my novel, The Siege of Thaddeus Wilkes. 5 months (if you count planning and outlining, which I do), 128,000 words and 563 pages later, I have something that just might be something. One day. For now, I can’t really describe what it felt like to finish. It was euphoria mixed with fatigue, I suppose, since I finished at 2 a.m. on a Friday night and promptly climbed into bed. What’s... Read Full Story

The March issue of Niteblade magazine is out and my story “ Guzman’s Labyrinth ” is contained within. If you haven’t checked out Niteblade before, I’d highly recommend it. Great fiction, reviews and poetry in the horror and fantasy vein. There is a free version of the issue up on the site, and an add-free PDF available for a couple of bucks, which is a great way to support the magazine. One of my favorite things about the magazine is that the editor works with a great artist who... Read Full Story
