Pick a spirit guide for 2026

I've run the calculations for hyperspace velocities as they relate to normal space-time. And I realize that only now, as I write science fiction, do I find math fascinating. ... Well, that and Dungeons & Dragons. (I didn't ask how big the room was. I said 'I cast Fireball!'"

I need me this book! 📖 #books #reading #learning #sleep #nature #peace

A message to all of my followers, including those of you who just found this page: Thank you! I promise I shall keep the ordinary to a minimum here. I swear this by my House and the Klingon Empire. Worf's honor.

Just heard someone say how much they appreciated artists, writers, and other creatives for continuing to do what we do in the face of all that's going on. I thought you all should know that. Let's keep it up.

"The exercise of imagination is dangerous to those who profit from the way things are because it has the power to show that the way things are is not permanent, not universal, not necessary." -Ursula K. Le Guin, *A War Without End*

Writing a short story about a lycanthrope who turns into a Zen Master with each full moon. The title is "Aware Wolf."

Work continues on my next novel. Sure hope NASA doesn't mind that I turned Ceres into a fueling station. #WIP #Booksky

Hoping everyone's weekend is going well. I met some charming people, had a great time talking book stuff, and had the chance to catch up with old friends. Not bad for a Saturday 🙂

Ten years ago, April 29, 2016, a weasel got into the Large Hadron Collider, shutting it down and throwing us into our current timeline. I feel like we need to enlist the help of another weasel to set the timeline right again.

YELP REVIEWES OF CHARON THE FERRYMAN OF THE DEAD "oddly quiet. no warmth." "no bottled water provided." "what's up with the freaky glowing eyes?" "i know I am dead but still turn on the radio, yeesh." "let an actual alive guy on the boat, who I think was being guided by the ghost of Virgil? WTF"

Good news coming soon, he said, being as vague as humanly possible.

"Coyote Vs Acme" is getting a summer release after being kept on the shelf for close to three years. I'm calling that a small victory for us.

Literature ys powerful by cause an author can learne all about a thinge, devote tonnes of tyme to that learninge, conjure up a whole worlde yn which the thynge ys crucial and then, wythout any regret or any feelinge their tyme hath been wastid, reveal that the whole poynte ys that the thinge ys bad.

Putting together a short story for a local outfit and researching medical science from the 1920s. My most recent research has been for nanotechnology and astrophysics. I may as well throw in time travel, just to see if Google has a nervous breakdown.

A new story has set a fire within me, so I'm setting aside some other work for the time being (a week or so). There are times when obsession takes the wheel and this is one of them. I can't wait to see what develops from this.

Absolutely! #BookSky

Had a wonderful time at the Storyteller Summit in Oviedo Saturday. I met some incredible and gifted fellow indie authors, and even managed to say hello to old friends. Then I came home and changed the litter boxes. Cats can lift you up and bring you right back to Earth🐈

Going to go to bed early ... for a change. Big day Saturday 🙂

Hi, gang! If you're in the central Florida area Saturday, April 11, look me up. I'll be here. Just look for the fellow in the Fedora, Harry Potter glasses, outrageous tie (maybe the Flintstones, maybe Aladdin), and my pet skull. Cheers!

Just got word from my editor that my latest short story collection should also be marketed toward the Young Adult audience. I was pleasantly stunned, since I have been accustomed to post-apocalyptic work. That collection *cough* shameless plug *cough* is coming out this fall.

Thinking about starting up a new blog and launching a podcast. I have a feeling this means research. Good thing that I like that as much as coffee and cookies.

Welcome, new followers! And hello, again, all my dear friends since Day One here. I write science fiction and fantasy, dark and light and loving it. And here's the cover of my first work, which is written as a journal. Summary: Jake isn't the last man on Earth. He just may be the last one alive.

I have begun working with a friend on illustrations for my winter holiday-themed short story collection. They are a talented artist and I'm looking forward to seeing how they visualize what I've written. Quite the addition to this adventure.

On Saturday, April 11, I'll be joining with several other authors for this event. If your footsteps take you into the Central Florida area, please look us up. I'll be there with my books and my pet skull 💀

Two short story collections (small ones, to be honest) coming out this year, with my next novel out either late this year or early 2027. That's if all goes well. Notice I said "if all goes well," not "if all goes according to schedule."

Having learned how hot dogs are made, I'm gonna take my chances with Soylent Green.

And, once again, why I have it as a contract point that all art/translation/etc done for my work is done by a human, and why I write all my work myself (aside from the fact I can do it faster and better than if I used "AI" and then had to massage its extremely median text).

Just in time to start the new month, my novel, "In the Shadow of the Dead," is a part of Smashwords Read an eBook Week sale event. Follow the steps of one person struggling through a world where the line between the living and the (un)dead is all but erased. A great break from today's headlines!

Post something from the 60s that is random or you will have an awful March (allegedly). I think that covers this evening's general Interweb offerings.

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

Just heard from my editor. She liked the latest work, had some great suggestions, and continued to instruct me in the fine art of punctuation. Whenever I hear back from her, it always feels like I'm having an early Christmas.

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

Got some solid writing done today, then checked out Bad Bunny and the second half of the Super Bowl. Excellent halftime show, and impressive game play.

I've got a short story collection set in this world, aiming for release this year. Looking forward to that. Then it's on to a companion novel set in this world. I've got the bones of the novel worked out, though my characters may have ideas of their own ...

Final work on the first draft of my first short story collection of this year. If all goes well, my editor gets it before the end of the week. After which time, the usual panic and self-doubt will settle in.

Immediately afterward, Frodo threw Bilbo's phone into the fireplace.

If you see this, post a fictional character you want to be.

Okay. The first draft of my new short story collection is finished. Now to let it rest for a few days, then go back and fine-tune it. After that, it's time to send it to my editor and let my self-doubt and overthinking take over my existence.

Just heard from my editor. She says she is excited to see my latest project. ... (happy sigh) ... Good news from an editor always feels like Christmas. Or Halloween with top-shelf candy.

He isn't the last man on Earth, but he may be the last living one. Available here www.barnesandnoble.com/w/in-the-sha... And www.amazon.com/Shadow-Dead-... And books.apple.com/us/book/in-t... Just to name a few.
