Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Today I’m exhausted, and highly caffeinated after getting perhaps an hour of sleep last night. Oh the wondrous complications and aggravations that can derail our writing… The Memorial Day holiday weekend turned into a very packed affair and I got... Continue Reading →
Book Cover Concepts Featuring “A Contract in Azure and Indigo”!
My wife made these two wonderful mock up, wrap-around dust jacket covers for my story, A Contract in Azure and Indigo, just as if it was a hardcover novel! I think they are wonderful!

New Fiction: “The Showroom” is up on Aethereal Engines!
Calliope walked past the waiting room of the Volkswagen dealership and immediately felt the eyes of the other customers on her. She ignored them and grabbed a K cup of green tea for the Keurig.

I now officially have ten chapters written for The Lost Tomb of Omo! I printed the whole work in progress and it came to about forty double spaced and double sided pages, it was too thick to staple as one section! I always print hard-copies for review and revision. Call me old fashioned, but there... Continue Reading →
Commentary: Marvel’s New Thor

This is far from the first time there has been a gender-flipped Thor or a lady wielding Mjölnir, but before now it was intended as a gimmick for... Continue Reading →
