If you're here because you heard me on the radio this morning talking about the new novel CONTAGIOUS, welcome! First, you gotta see the CONTAGIOUS trailer -- it's sick and wrong and all kinds of awesome. The link is in the upper left-hand corner of the page, just look for the bloody hand. If you want to learn how to get my audiobooks for free, click the "FREE AUDIOBOOKS" image in the upper right-hand corner of this page. Glad you stopped by, and I hope you enjoy the stories.

AMC tournament time again! You Junkies know your movies, so who is the greatest "supernatural teen" of all time? Buffy? Edward Cullen? The Frog Brothers? And if you Wheedonites think you're going to walk away with this one, let's see how y'all fare against the latest juggernaut of the romantic vampire world, Twilight. No comments here, visit the blog and nominate your favorite supernatural teen from any movie. .>Click here to get some.

Hillary ready for Sigler Stank tour: Hillary will be catching both the NYC and Washington DC Stank stops, devil's sign in full effectAll book tour dates are still a "go," including Jan. 3 in San Mateo, Jan. 6 in Seattle and Jan. 10 in San Francisco. So if you'd planned on those dates, get your asses out to the bookstores! For details on all Siglerism tour dates for CONTAGIOUS, go to scottsigler.com/tour.

Junkies. The Evil Queen™ (a.k.a., my wife) is in the hospital right now with a scheduled operation. She had a thyroidectomy on Tuesday, December 30. This was, of course, the day CONTAGIOUS came out, which made it a helluva day in the Sigler's world. She has a treatable form of thyroid cancer, which the thyroidectomy should cure.

This has been scheduled for about 3-4 weeks. We'd hoped to finish the Twelve Days of Sigmas, but she's feeling like crap right now, so I was at the hospital on the 30th and will be there the 31st and Jan. 1. Bowl games on the hospital TV, yeah!

Therefore, all podcasts are on hold for the short time. Evil Queen™ must recover, then get back to work, then the podcasts will commence.

Jan 2, 2009 update: Evil Queen™ is back at the Palace of Evil, and we are having a very Evil time. Well, she's sleeping like a log, but we're out of the hospital and things look good. Thanks for all the support -- the comments really surprised her and made her day. You all rule!

Stacks of CONTAGIOUS: Laying down some FDO™ autographsClick here to download FUTURE EVIL HQ?

Junkies, a quick video message as I'm autographing craploads of CONTAGIOUS copies. A little bit of a recon trip the Evil Queen™ and I took to prepare for the Sigler Ascension. Granted, there is no place in the world that is safe (except for a Denny's, of course), but this place comes close. 

NOTE: The previous link wasn't working for crap, Libsyn is having troubles (again). So, uploaded to the Mevio servers, seems to be working fine, enjoy!

50+ hour DVD now on Amazon.com: $6.08 plus shipping, that's frickin' only twelve cents an hour!You know that do-it-yourself, stocking-stuffer DVD that we put up a few weeks go? Well if you're swamped for time (or a TechTard like me), now you can just order it from Amazon.com and have it shipped to your gift-receiving target. Big thanks to Junkie Mark Smith (SmittyHalibut) for hooking this up (someone dish that man some Crack Hits for his efforts!).

This puppy is $6.08 plus shipping. It's is a silk-screened DVD in a jewel case, printed with Amazon's fancy printers. It looks so good it makes me feel all tingly in strange places. No one is making a penny off this (except Amazon). We wanted to keep the price as low as possible to facilitate gift-giving. Repeat - the FDO™ doesn't make one cent on this, it's here to share the gift of Siglerism with those less unfortunate souls who have not been exposed to the moist blessings of Pope Siglericus XXX.

What the hell? I got a DVD in the mail telling me to shake my ass down to a warehouse in San Francisco and pick up a "mystery case." Now this is not to be confused with the "mystery meat" that was served to me back in the school lunch days, nor the "mystery date" I went on a few weeks back (more on that later -- much later, as in, after the statute of limitations has run out).

I am concerned. On April 1, 2008, the day INFECTED came out, I spent the entire day vomiting the stomach linking out of my body with such force that it broke a window and cripled a small dog three stories below. I'm talking "someone, please, get a gun and shoot me" sick, caused by some tainted almond rocha candies delivered by one Julie Andrews. Andrews, the proponent of all things good in the world, wanted to stop me, the Icon of Evil, from having a successful book launch. 

So, now there is this case ... and the CONTAGIOUS launch is but four weeks away ... I wonder ...

If you'll notice, my first hardcover copy of CONTAGIOUS has fully mounted the Julie Andrews case and is humping away. Anyway, the case is locked. I have to post this picture to get a code to enter a forum to do the hustle, or something, which will give me the code to open it, so here is the picture.

Bring it, Juile Andrews, because this time, the FDO™ strikes back.
