You have stepped through the void, and entered a lawless world where boundaries are nonexistent, a world limited only by the imagination, or some such nonsense. Hello! Readers, writers, adults, children, humans, aliens, werewolves, vampires, elves, goblins, and whoever, whatever, or wherever you are--you're here! This is the place of my bloggings, where I make … wordstuffs! With my fingers! On a keyboard! (And occasionally whisper quietly into the soft toneless abyss while gently drifting away into madness.) But mostly I write, about life, about books, about what it means to be a writer. This is my blog, where you've found yourself! Thank you for sharing a moment of your valuable time with me! Let's talk about what it means to be me! I Am: Children's Book AuthorNot yet published! Working on that part. For five years I've been working on a delightful little tale for kids about two children who find themselves in a world made out of paint, full of color, where they discover courage, friendship, duplicity, and the HORRIBLE LIFE-THREATENING FEARSOME NO-GOOD THINGS THAT WAIT IN THE DARK SHADEWOODS. Sound like something you or your kids or your kid's kids or your inner kid might be interested in? There's a little subscribe button in the sidebar just for you, and also, oh look, right here! So you're still here and you still want to know more about Mr. Caleb Peiffer, and I haven't scared you away? Many delightful oddities and mad ramblings and good advices and occasional dad jokes lie await in store for you!
Let's get talking! I pulled out a randomized Q&A generator, so let's see what strange and perplexing questions I will be forced to answer. Q: What do you write? A: A lot! Novels and short stories! Mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, adventure! I have a lot of different interests--aesthetics as the kids say nowadays, my aesthetics are totes across the board--and it comes out in my writing. Q: Which do you like better, book or eBook? A: Book. I love eBooks for their convenience in many ways, and ultimately I believe that the words are what counts, not the paper. But for me, reading on my phone or my Kindle will never compete with the magic of holding a book in my hands. Q: Coffee or tea? A: I enjoy both on different occasions. Oddly enough, I'm a disgrace to my writerhood and I've never been heavily addicted to either. I'm just a water kinda guy. But when it comes down to it, gimme coffee. Q: What is your favorite hair color? A: My wife is a beautiful natural brunette, with gorgeous curls, so that would be my favorite. Q: Do you have pets? A: I grew up with cats (I had six throughout my childhood), and my wife and I recently in fact adopted a young kitten. Q: Where is the furthest you've traveled? A: I have been to China! Twice, in fact, and those are the only two times I have ever been out of the U.S. of A. I have two wonderful sisters adopted from the great Chinaland. Q: What are your favorite books? A: I've always narrowed it down to five, In no particular order: Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes This Side of Paradise, by F. Scott Fitzgerald To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee Out of the Silent Planet, by C.S. Lewis Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson And with that, I will put the typewriter away for now, but stay tuned for further wordings from me, including book news, deals, Q&As, art thoughts, the announcement that I became rich, and the news that I got to meet J.K. Rowling. Until then! Anything else you'd like to know about me? Anything you'd like me to know about you? Share your wordings with me!
