For reasons that are hopefully obvious, I’ve recently been on another round of fairly intensive “work” on myself, specifically in an attempt to see people more readily as they see themselves. If you could review my Google history over the years, you’d see fairly wide-range of these kinds of things ranging from better understanding of […]

In May of 1961, my mom brought me into this world. Since then, she has been a true light for me. One I could always count on. Dad was like that, too, of course, but he had enough of those “I brought you into this world, I can take you out” moments that it’s fair […]

Lincoln Park: Ulysses S. Grant Monument It is important to remember that many of our states once believed so strongly in their right to own people that they went to war against the United States of America to protect it.

Read More ...Can You Be Against Racism and Against Black Lives Matter?
A week or so back an acquaintance of mine posted in his social media site that it was possible to be both against racism and against the Black Lives Matter movement. I’ve been thinking about that comment a lot. The statement made no sense to me, yet this person—who I do not really know, but […]

The concept of a story bundle is pretty cool, right? Give a reader leeway to pay what they want for a collection of books (within certain constraints, anyway), and give that reader a collection of books from a set of fun and outstanding writers. If they pay “enough” they get more books. And, on top […]
Read More ...Midwinter Fae Available in Print!
I suppose I should take a moment to note that the Midwinter Fae (A Procession of Faeries – 2) anthology put together by Jamie Ferguson is now available in print! Given the other writers on its table of contents, I was quite proud to have my story “First Rays of New Sun” appear in its […]

# # # Last year I took a few days to write about some other writers I thought were doing good work. Turns out, I liked it. It’s fun to point out things I like. Go figure, right? So, I’m hoping to do a little more of it this year—talking about writers, or musicians, or […]
