Goals update: Last week I made both three blog posts and three comments on the blogs of others. I currently have no stories waiting to be sent out to market (“Schizo the Magnificent” is still under consideration.) My next release date will be October 25th, and probably a collection, since I don’t have any individual … Continue reading

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Behind the 8-Ball” (and a coupon!)
“Behind the 8-Ball” came from an image in my mind of a body being carried by group of suited astronauts on a moonscape, within sight of a green/blue planet. Then I worked backwards – I had to figure out why he was there, and decided he was an “explorer” sent through a wormhole to find … Continue reading
Writing Wednesday: Don’t Overdo It

Or maybe a word that I hear reminds … Continue reading
Fractured Fragment Friday: “Gladius” (and a coupon!)
I’m not quite sure how “Gladius” wound up where it ended – the original story was to have something to do with virtual reality and infectious ideas, but then the virtual coliseum shifted to being the actual reality, a place where various races had been taken as slaves by a master alien culture and forced … Continue reading
