I have mentioned (from time to time), that I am incapable of sitting still. Moving fingers prevent me from having to bounce a foot. A moving foot while I read allows me to keep my hands still for a bit. Awake, I find myself randomly walking down the hall in the middle of work without any conscious awareness that I … Continue reading →
HAH! In spite of having to do a ton of work on income tax this week, I still managed to get in four writing hours (and nearly 4,000 words) of Vipers’ Nest.

Not sure what’s going on, but I am feeling sick to my stomach, kind of week, and listless, and after staring at the keyboard for an hour trying to get words on Vipers’ Nest, I’m throwing in the towel. Words accomplished? Zero. This is either sick, stuck, or stuck because I’m sick. I’m taking the day off no matter which … Continue reading →

She’d been in her office for hours, a “Do Not Disturb” sign on her door, looking for any single tiny piece of new information that might let her believe hope still existed.That her stupidity had not destroyed Settled Space’s last best chance for freedom. Bashtyk Nokyd, the philosopher she’d … Continue reading →
I’ve been doing “indie” stuff to get ready for bringing out Longview #4: Gunslinger Moon. I’ve put together a special SF & F Reader Notification list for folks who like the genres, and set up two free stories that you can get. The first you receive automatically when you join the list. Oddfolks is “odd fantasy.” You sign up and … Continue reading →
