27 July 2023

I’ve never made any secret of the fact that I want to create/build a consistent, reliable writing habit. I love writing and telling my stories. And I’ve done really well, the previous six days. Here, see for yourself: Except today, when I woke up, I...

23 July 2023

Good morning? I’m writing this at 1:22am, the morning of Sunday the 23rd. I always struggle with the salutation for this time of the day. ‘Good night’ seems more like a goodbye, even though it is most assuredly night outside. ‘Good...

21 July 2023

Morning, one and all. It’s 5:40am as I type this, and I’m about halfway through the transition from being mostly nocturnal to being a daywalker. I think I’ve mentioned in the past that my sleep schedule tends to “walk” through the entire...

15 July 2023 – The Evening

I just finished re-watching The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. I’m honestly not sure how many times I’ve seen it, and it’s one of my favorite movies… for the final thirty minutes. It is–hands down–one of the...

The Best Laid Plans

If this month had gone according to the plan I laid out for it back in March or April, I would be writing this from a hotel room in Grand Junction, Colorado, on my way to an in-person Fantasy Thriller workshop in Las Vegas. But to paraphrase a saying I’ve heard...

Six-fingered typing…

…isn’t so bad. I do feel like I’m kinda stumbling along, especially when I go looking for the [Shift] key on a combo I would’ve done with just my left hand last week. But one the whole, it’s not so bad. I am no orthopedist, but I feel...

Well, this was unexpected…

The evening of July 4th, we had a lovely thunderstorm. In addition to the extra water in the stream in front of the house, though, Mother Nature was kind enough to provide a power outage, too. No big deal, though… we have a generator. It’s a pull-start at...

The Fall of Skullkeep: It’s Alive!

Well… today has been a publishing day. Matter of fact, it’s looking like this week (July 2nd – 8th) will be a publishing week. The simple news is that I have Skullkeep up for pre-order on several sites. Visit its book page on Knightsfall Press to...

30 June 2023

I should probably work on coming up with better titles for these updates than simply the date. But for the moment, it works. I feel better right now than I have since at least Monday… possibly before. I wrote a post on the 26th about my encounter with...

My Favorite Authors

Well… some of them, anyway. I’ve read a lot down through the years, and there are many authors who stand out in my mind. But even those who stand out don’t always rate a re-read for me. The names below are those whose stories I always enjoy,...
