As I noted earlier, I’m working on a five book series that greatly expands on three stories Analog published some time back. It’s quite an interesting task. Very different from writing the God-Touched Mage series in that my goal here is to keep all the little bits of the story that were contained in the […]
Read More ...Announcing a new series!
So, you might be asking, amid all this junk about the elections and whatnot, what the heck am I actually working on? The answer is actually pretty danged exciting: a total of six books, all of which will be published through Skyfox Publishing over the next 9-10 months, the first of which should be available […]
Read More ...On the holding of abeyance of Godwin’s Law
I had a brief Facebook conversation recently, wherein a friend posted something that gently prodded me for finally making a post that wasn’t political. That made me smile. If you’ve followed me over the many years I’ve posted, you’ll see I’m generally not overly political in nature. For the most part, I haven’t cared much […]
Read More ...On Bill O’Reilly, pigs, lipstick, and the presentation of true colors
I feel sorry for my moderately conservative, socially liberal/fiscally conservative (SLFC) friends, of which I have many. It will probably shock the gollywockers out of you that at one point of my life, I considered myself to be SLFC. I am, after all, both white and male, and, I mean, how many of us white, […]
Read More ...How about a little Fantasy In The City, eh?
Yes, I’m playing catch-up again. It’s a never-ending battle, eh? Anyway… I’m pleased to note that a short story of mine is in a very cool bundle of “Fantasy in the City.” It’s a great collection of urban fantasy work that ranges from sweet and light-hearted to quite deep and moody. And the authors–wow. Inside […]
Read More ...Clinton vs. Trump …
From a FB comment I made earlier … Donald Trump is probably the least capable candidate that has ever been associated with a possible run for president in the history of the United States. I’ve never been a [big] Hillary supporter [from a policy standpoint] (or really a Bill supporter), But the idea the Trump […]
Read More ...The Rules, They Are A Changin’
A few weeks back I was talking to my dad about jobs and the way the world is changing. The conversation was about what “work” means, but it was as much about politics—how policies might change, and how policies of the past are going to be completely unable to deal with the population as it […]
Read More ...Rules #3 and #5
Today I got to partake in Heinlein’s Rules #3 and #5. For those of you who read my little bloggy thing and are unfamiliar with Heinlein’s Rules, these are five simple but difficult pieces of advice given by (naturally) Robert A. Heinlein. They consist of: – – – – – – – 1.) You must […]
Read More ...Six Days In May Hits the Press
It is, as the Flying Scot used to say, a beautiful day for a motor car race, don’t you think? I’m smiling ear to ear today because I can finally say that Six Days in May is available for order and download. For those unfamiliar with this unique little project, this is a collaborative collection […]
