An Update, Brief and Modest
So Party at the Last Tomorrow has had its moment. I got some good feedback on it, and I’m pleased that it picked up as much interest as it did. A Kindle Countdown deal suggested to me that I’m pricing these novellas too high. I’ve already dropped the price on The Devil Left Him to $3.99, I may… Read More An Update, Brief and Modest
Back to Work
I don’t just write and Dad (and Play Crusader Kings) all day, I also work for a living. And the end of summer means the resumption of the daily sweat to earn my bread. Which is fine, because it doesn’t put a halt to writing. Specifically, it doesn’t put a halt to editing Last Tomorrow. I’m… Read More Back to Work
If Blogs are Dying, We Shall Miss Them.
Lileks at his profound best. While most blogs weren’t deathless examples of great writing, there was the opportunity for individualism, and you don’t get that from a Pinterest page. You don’t get it from a feed of things snipped and reblogged and pinned and shoveled into The Feed. The web turns into bushels of confetti… Read More If Blogs are Dying, We Shall Miss Them.
I’m calling a Social Media Retreat for this Month.

Yet More New Content: In Winter.
This is actually old content, a short story I burped out one cold dark afternoon and self-published in a notebook-collection called World’s Apart (by which I mean, I had the damn things printed at Kinko’s. This was before I had ever heard of Createspace). Since I started a new collection on Medium, I was scouring my… Read More Yet More New Content: In Winter.
The “Dear Burrito Guy” Essay, and Why Irony Does not Translate
Over on Medium, a fellow referring to himself as “Lucky Shirt” (twitter handle, I’m assuming), just penned (it just sounds better than “typed”) an amusing rant about his poorly made burrito. View at Medium.com It’s funny in that over-the-top-rage way that the Internet loves to love; most of the joke is in how ridiculous it… Read More The “Dear Burrito Guy” Essay, and Why Irony Does not Translate
New Essay: Beyond Cowboys and Indians
As part of my The Western Ain’t Dead collection. View at Medium.com
The Western Ain’t Dead.
I have a lingering love of the genre, and one of these days may yet pour out the Western novel that’s been a-brewin’ in me since I was a tad. For the nonce, I’ve created a Medium Collection devoted to Western-ness, and a fine fellow has contributed a story to it: High Moon – Westwood.… Read More The Western Ain’t Dead.
It’s Getting to the Point Where I Don’t Even Remember What Themes I’ve Used….
I feel like I’ve used this one before, but I also feel like I’m wrong. It’ looks nice, anyway. If I can get my Medium profile to embed in the sidebar, I’ll be in business. Meanwhile, in Twitchy-land, truth breaks out all over. Feminism. Say the right words, and all is forgiven. ALL. pic.twitter.com/wte06C0MgD —… Read More It’s Getting to the Point Where I Don’t Even Remember What Themes I’ve Used….
