In my continuing efforts to make a go of this writing gig, I’m putting one of my stories on KDP Select. That means the story will be exclusive to Amazon, and available for free to people with Kindle Unlimited. I tried this once before with another story to no positive effect, but perhaps the story … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals Report My three posts scheduled and out there on time, and I continue to comment on other blogs sufficiently (hey, three per week isn’t that hard…) I had another story return from market and I sent it right back out like Heinlein says I should. My WEIRD, But Not TOO Scary Tales … Continue reading
After I finished listening to Fool Moon, I decided to give a listen to what I believe was an Audible. The Space Race, narrated by Kate Mulgrew, was a combination of the history of the space race between the United States and the old U.S.S.R., the combined activities since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, … Continue reading

But an alien planet suitable for life would of course have alien life, wouldn’t it? It would be nice to think they’d be welcoming, but…, well…, WE’D be the aliens then, … Continue reading

My next release (WEIRD, But Not TOO Scary Tales, already set up for preorders and presales – see below) is in line for its October 23rd release date. I completed … Continue reading
“You don’t get out much.” If you think about that standard joke – well, really, it’s a put-down – it’s telling YOU that something undesirable happens to people when they don’t spend time out and about in the world, and instead spend all their time sealed up in whatever sort of box they’ve been isolated … Continue reading
