AI companies don't see a problem when they steal the intellectual property of artists and authors—they just get touchy if you steal it from THEM.

I will always consider space travel magical. As a little boy, I put together models of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft. I remember exactly where I was that Sunday night when Neil Armstrong took that first step onto the moon. #nasa #artemisII #space #artemismission

Love getting my author's copies, although I call this one my author-and-editor copy. So proud of this anthology Annie Reed & I started. Proud of my story ("Playing for All the Marbles at the Frozen Four") and all the other stories by the 9 other terrific writers. #romance #shortstories #writerlife

I was a senior software engineer for 32 years with Philips Ultrasound until I retired in 2022. When I was heading into open-heart surgery twelve years ago, it was reassuring to know that I'd be monitored by Philips' top-of-the-line cardiac ultrasound machine.

Three months ago, I proudly introduced ROMANCE FOR ALL SEASONS, a quarterly romance anthology edited by Annie Reed and myself. That debut issue now gives way to SPRING FLING, released today, penned by a group of amazing short story writers! books2read.com/RFAS-spring-...

The other night after class, the last student to leave said what I thought was, "Have a good day." That would have been a nice sentiment except that it was already 9 p.m. Odd. Turns out, what he said was, "Go Drake Maye!" Yup, he's getting an A.

I always love my author copies, but this one is extra special since it's my first author+editor copy. I am SO proud of ROMANCE FOR ALL SEASONS: WINTER WARMTH and its spectacular stories by spectacular writers! I strongly recommend that you pick up a copy (link in comments) if you enjoy my work OR

My morning coffee just tastes better when I'm sipping from a Pulphouse mug while reading the latest issue of Pulphouse (which has a story of mine in it.) Life is good. #Reading #shortstories #writing

my copyeditor telling me that a date in 13,431 CE was actually a Tuesday, not a Wednesday. I just assumed she was correct and ran with it.

I'm delighted that my story "La Foire de la Saint André" has just been published in THRILL RIDE MAGAZINE: SPIES. Céline Dupuis (code name Mouse) returns in this thriller set in Occupied France during World War II. Inspired by Lynne Olson’s remarkable book, MADAME FOURCADE'S SECRET WAR:

I’ve always been a slow runner but got a hilarious reminder yesterday. As I was #running, 5 teenagers passed me on their bikes doing wheelies. One smartass with a great sense of humor looked back and said, “Keep walking, sir!” Walking? The little snot! Oh well, life is great! Happy Thanksgiving!

fucking hysterical to hear the 'poor little genAI industry' crying about being bullied with "copyright law" as if it's some novel, untested area of jurisprudence. If you don't want to be sued by 7 million people don't steal from 7 million people, that's a pretty simple legal concept
