Author Interview: Me Chatting about Endurance
Ha! Looks like I drafted this but never published it. So not “Last month” but actually in December, for I Heart SapphFic’s Reading Challenge week of Sci-Fi, I was interviewed about my novel Endurance. If you need a break from current events and would like to get away to another star system, check it out. […]
The State of the State of My Mind
I woke up yesterday morning with many thoughts racing through my mind. And this was before the shocking ambush of an ally in the Oval Office. That often happens, and it’s what gets me out of bed. Usually the thoughts swirl around whatever I’m writing—a cool plot twist, a key conversation, the realization or solution […]
Putting a Marker Down on 2025
I’m a lousy blogger, which is fine since you all have more than enough in your daily feed to keep you thinking, laughing, obsessing—whatever you need. It’s not that I have nothing to say. I have more than enough—see the daily feed above. I just can’t settle on one topic long enough to say what […]
Me talking about Wishbone
This is the last day Wishbone will be on sale for $2.99. And I did an interview with I Heart SapphFic about the novel, which is near and dear to my heart. You can read it here.
Revisiting Wishbone
Back in better days, mid-October, I got word that my novel Wishbone would be included in the I Heart SapphFic Reading Challenge for “Main Character in Uniform.” I was thrilled! I didn’t think about how I might feel this week. Knowing this was an election year, my emotions have ranged from hopeful optimism, to concern, […]
Readercon Accomplished!
Wow. Readercon was awesome! Technically it was Readercon 33, but my first. I haven’t really started processing it, still coming down from the high. For this shy introvert, that’s an astonishing statement. That a crowded conference full of strangers (it wasn’t any easier with coworkers) could energize me. I didn’t talk to very many people. […]
My First Readercon!
I’m going to my first Readercon tomorrow (though at the rate I’m going in getting this posted, maybe today). Just for the day, unfortunately, and only if there aren’t monsoon rains for the drive there—it’ll take a couple of hours. Readercon, for those not in the know, is a venerable science fiction conference held in […]
Happy Fourth of July!
I hope this isn’t the last time I can say that. There are a lot of horrible things going on around the world, and I care about all of them deeply even if I don’t write about them. Sudan is on the brink of famine, China and Taiwan are on the brink of war, the […]
Planting Rocks
I don’t consider myself a gardener. I say I’m the laborer to my wife’s gardening. I grew up with a shaded yard, so my mother’s feeble attempts didn’t yield much. She had a rock garden though, but I don’t remember much about it. My grandmother was quite the gardener. She had a terraced back yard, […]
