I’m taking a break today from the usual Fractured Fragment rotation, because today is the release day of “A Tail of Two Species” – the ninth tale in my Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire series! Here’s the blurb: The Lynx hasn’t returned from his mission, so it’s up to disfavored Champion of the Empire … Continue reading
Last week’s goals: I made my weekly quota (and timing) for my blog posts. I also managed to spend some time commenting on others’ blogs – hopefully I can continue to take advantage of my newfound “freedom” (the freedom of not having a day-job) to keep up with and exceed my goals. The publication of … Continue reading
My first Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire story was “Purr Mission,” which I completed late in 2011. It started from a monologue about hating uncontrolled reentry, and something about the character JUST FELT feline, and so Herc Tom was born. It was a standalone story, and had given no thought to making it into … Continue reading
Last week’s report: I posted my own blog on schedule, and made my comment quota – barely. “Calling Down Lightning” returned from market at the end of the week – I need to send it out again. I also received news that “A Background Poorly Written made it to the last round at another market … Continue reading
Last week’s goals: I posted my own blog on schedule, did some liking and a couple of comments on others’ blogs, but I need to try harder (and earlier) to be more active.

Last week’s goals: I posted my own blog on schedule, but even though I threw some likes out there, I failed to make any comments (I fell back into neglecting my comments until the end of the week, which just doesn’t work – it needs to be a week-long process. I shouldn’t have to make … Continue reading
Last week’s goals: Posting continues as it should, both my own and commenting on others. Using Literarium is a mixed bag for me – it’s definitely helpful at locating appropriate markets for my individual stories (so most of my current six are submitted), although the markets aren’t always open when Literarium says they are. The … Continue reading
At my day job, they have us taking a course called Digital fitness – to bring us up to speed on the coming technology, and hoping we’ll think of ways to use it. The article I just read mentioned a sofa that gathers data about people sitting on it. You visit someone’s house, and you … Continue reading
“Out of Place” started with an inside joke – the opening “Bunnies!” line is something I shout (but softly) every time I see one in our North Dallas neighborhood. We’re being overrun with all sorts of creatures – rabbits, raccoons, hawks, coyotes, buzzards, bobcats, etc.. I thought it would be fun to take the neighborhood … Continue reading
Last week’s goals: Made my three blog postings, and exceeded my quota for comments on the the blogs of others. Cats of War II has been released. My next scheduled release date would be January 17th, but I have so little in the way of short fiction available to publish I may not stick to … Continue reading
