And my latest short story has been submitted to a friendly, neighborhood horror magazine. Now we wait. Not gonna lie: it isn't easy holding my breath until I hear something. Thankfully, I look good in blue.

Words are magic

It's Saturday. Post a cartoon you like.

With shopping malls dying everywhere, owners had to become innovative. Oviedo Mall chose to stay alive by reinventing itself. with vigor. This October, it's hosting a Book Fair. Many authors will be there, including yours truly. If you're in the central Florida area, drop in and say hello!

The challenge was to name a non-LOTR character who is good but would get totally messed up by the One Ring. My mind went in the opposite direction. This choice, my hero, would have Sauron, himself, lobbing that ring into Mt Doom like a starting pitcher for the Red Sox.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

Just left the #SupermanMovie. Optimism, hope, diversity, courageous immigrants, the evils of a nation trying to wipe out an entire population, people being imprisoned for speaking out, a maniacal billionaire—and goodness overcoming. Of course MAGAs hate it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/conservati...

If you're familiar with the central Florida area, this is the most un-mall kind of mall there is. It has a couple of anchor stores, and the rest are small or independent. And they do festivals. On July 12, I'll be selling my novel here and talking about new projects. If you're there, please say hi!

I'm still here. Just spending more time in my writing account/alt recently.

Hey #naturistfiction fans, the new (sixth!) anthology of #naturist stories comes out next week! The theme is science fiction and fantasy, and it's a stunning selection.

The anthology Bare Skies Ahead is now available for pre-order. My short story, "The Eternal Summer of Persephone Grace," was selected to be in this collection, and I am thrilled beyond words. Thanks to editor Ted Bun for inviting me to join this adventure and for helping me along the way.

So. which Stephen king book are we doing today, folks?

My sincere thanks to Rebecca for the interview. This was my first time on the other side of the interview questions, and she made it exciting.

It's Friday, and on Fridays we dance ;) youtu.be/2DiQUX11YaY

So, this was my Saturday. I set up for the second annual Blackbird Book Fair, hosted by Ten10 Brewing Company in Orlando. These images are from the set-up, before the crowds arrived to explore, peruse, or just have a really fun Saturday. So, how was this, my first book fair as an author? Well 1/

Going to watch "The Shoes of the Fisherman" in memory of Pope Francis. The most humble among us cast the longest shadows, and I am forever captivated by that simple reality.

Hello, everyone! 🙂 On Saturday, April 26, I'll be at 10 Ten Brewing Company. 1010 Virginia Drive, Orlando, Florida, from 12 Noon till 6 PM, with my book. It's for the Second Annual Blackbird Bookfair, and I'll be in the company of other authors and artists. I f you're in the area, say hello!

It looks like I've been booked for a book fair less than a month from now. I asked how many of my books I should bring for the event, and the organizer said, "Just bring all that you have." Still catching my breath after hearing that.

Elbows up, Canada.

A friend alerted me to this. I don't know how many of you have seen it, but I figured precautionary sharing was in order. authorsguild.org/news/meta-li...

A pleasant night here, checking on on friends and blocking the stray pornbot. Not nearly as many of them as I had to deal with on that ... other ... site. it's good to be able to devote your time on social media to being social and not bot-swatting.

Um ... ohh-kay ...

@thedemocraticparty.bsky.social You can't allow stock buying for politicians then wonder how the party lost its way in corruption. You have 17 members who are foxes in your hen house. Need we say more? @repjasmine.bsky.social you are the future.

Thank you, Canada!

Thanks to "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," I have found some new recipes. Gotta give a tip of the hat to Anson Mount, who plays Capt. Christopher Pike. He's a solid captain and the man knows how to cook. Gonna try out the recipe for Pasta Mama, now that I've found it.

To the pornbots following me: You have waaaaay too much confidence in my stamina.

Looks like the people yanking it to their plagiarism software just got kicked in their tender vittles. We can only hope they hurt for a long time.

Be careful out there 💙🫂
