So, today I’m thinking about Tobias Buckell. This is because he’s the bastard who’s responsible for this crap. (Note, I know I can use this kind of profanity regarding Tobias because he’s all about the authentic, ya know?) You see, I was going to the health club yesterday and I was kind of dragging tail. […]
Read More ...a Dozen Days of Honky Tonk
Here’s how my brain works sometimes. While I was getting ready to work today, the radio played the Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Women.” I was grooving out to it like I kinda do because I’m a big Stones fan and all that, when I got to thinking about how old that song is. It turns […]

Here’s me in the lobby of the Crump Theater during the Bartholomew County Writer’s Conference. It was great fun to be at a conference with participation of so many different types of writers.

I spent yesterday at the Bartholomew Country Writer’s Conference (sponsored by Pen It! magazine), which was a great time.

I’m moving more fully into what was once “book two” of the series I’m working on, but which will now be episodes 5-7 (or maybe 8 ) of the series I’m tentatively thinking of as “The Lords of Existence.” The first four episodes are made of elements that were once the novel “Glamour of the […]
Read More ...A Morning … uh … Not Writing
I spent the morning fiddling around with the idea of putting a new cover on my baseball fantasy novel “See the PEBA on $25 a Day.” I’m planning on running a baseball playoff special on it, so a new cover might be nice. The good news is that I’ve found something I would like to […]
Read More ...What a Great System
As anyone who has been listening here knows, both Lisa and I have had nasty colds. I got mine in Chicago, and it was so bad that Lisa took me to the emergency room. We were out of town, after all, and in downtown Chicago. It’s not like we had a lot of medical options. […]
