December 17, 2017 The Little and the Big I’ve, at last, worked my way through a couple of massive, minor classics: Little, Big (John Crowley); and Stand on Zanzibar (John Brunner.) “Worked my way through” suggests the process was a chore rather than entertainment. I don’t think that’s entirely accurate, though it might be fair… Continue reading The Little and the Big. Resurrected Post.

Checking In. Resurrected Post.
December 10, 2017 Checking In I have a moment to drop you all a brief line. MBW is off on a business trip, charming the State of Texas I’m sure. This means I’m taking care of the HA. Leaving me no sustained time for composition. Okay, I’m back. Anyway, I’ll be back next week with… Continue reading Checking In. Resurrected Post.
Christmas? Already? Resurrected Post.
December 3, 2017 Christmas? Already? Well, crap. We’re already into the first week of December. That means Christmas is barreling down on us like an out of control sleigh careening down a ski slope. And I’m not ready yet. The thing is, I’m usually on top of this. It isn’t uncommon for me to have… Continue reading Christmas? Already? Resurrected Post.
The Thankful Post. Resurrected Pst.
November 26, 2017 The Thankful Post Thanksgiving has come and gone once again. I’m watching a cold, gray Oregon afternoon out the window as I type. The rain provides a persistent, percussive white noise, punctuated by occasional squalls and wind gusts. It’s a bit dismal is what I’m saying. I’m trying to reflect and be… Continue reading The Thankful Post. Resurrected Pst.
Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party. Resurrected Post.
November 19, 2017 Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party My weekend was eventful. How was yours? OryCon returned to (almost) its former site for the 39th installment of the convention. The Red Lion on the Columbia River was home to the first several OryCons I attended, beginning back in the late ‘80s. The Red… Continue reading Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party.

Chugging Along Aboard the Publicity Train. Resurrected Post.
November 12, 2017 Chugging Along Aboard the Publicity Train I enjoyed a busy weekend selling books. Luck and scheduling set up back-to-back book signings, one Friday night, one Saturday afternoon. I owe thanks to the Portland Things From Another World store and to Jan’s Paperbacks. Thanks for the table space and the event promotion. And… Continue reading Chugging Along Aboard the Publicity Train. Resurrected Post.
Savage Journal Entry 6. Plus, Austin
SAVAGE JOURNAL ENTRY 6. As I mentioned yesterday, dear diary, I am now burdened with a pair of traveling companions: an old man and a young woman. As a rule you do not find either one traipsing through the wild lands. You might encounter one or the… Continue reading Savage Journal Entry 6. Plus, Austin
Carousing Through the Dismal Season. Resurrected Post.
November 5, 2017 Carousing Through the Dismal Season The leaves are dropping, exposing the bare wooden scaffolding of the trees. The rain is either a constant or an intermittent irritant. Moments of warmth are welcome rarities. Yes, the dismal season is upon us until Spring comes to our relief. And so, we party. There’s a… Continue reading Carousing Through the Dismal Season.

More Doings. Resurrected Post.
October 29, 2017 More Doings I know I’ve been writing a lot about my book promotion activities. Well, ‘tis the book promotion season. What can I say? If we can all agree that this is necessary, then allow me to proceed with more. Orycon 39 has released its schedule. I’ll be there, reading from… Continue reading More Doings. Resurrected Post.
