January 19, 2020 Home on the Range Some days you just need to punish innocent steel plates and sheets of paper. And as a writer, it is good to remind yourself of the sounds, smells, and feel of firearms. You think, “I really ought to go back and revise that scene, get in at least… Continue reading Home on the Range. Resurrected Post.

A Farrago: Updates, Reviews, and Doings. Resurrected Post.
January 12, 2020 A Farrago: Updates, Reviews, and Doings. I hope to cram in a number of items in today’s post. A mishmash of topics. A salmagundi, if you will. I’ll start with paying off last week’s hints and portents post. What I was dancing around back then was the news that I have a… Continue reading A Farrago: Updates, Reviews, and Doings.

Hints and Portents. Resurrected Post.
January 5, 2020 Hints and Portents Today is one of those times I wish I did not attempt to maintain a weekly posting schedule on this web log. Not because I have nothing to say. On the contrary; I do have information I wish to share. But I can’t, yet. I don’t mind keeping a… Continue reading Hints and Portents. Resurrected Post.

December 29, 2019 2019 Retrospective So, 2019 is pretty much a wrap. I have few complaints, it was a good year for YoursTruly, MBW, and the HA.

Have you finished your shopping yet? You obviously can’t rely on… Continue reading The Gifting Season. Resurrected Post.
Glutton. Resurrected Post.
December 15, 2019 Glutton The first baked potato went down nicely. It always did. Loaded with all the toppings, the pillowy starches glistening with melted butter, white hummocks of sour cream speckled green and brown with chives and bits of bacon. He chased it with another before switching to a plate of au gratin for… Continue reading Glutton. Resurrected Post.
The Alamo. Resurrected Post.
December 8, 2019 The Alamo Some things are true serendipity, others are more deliberately linked. I’m going with the latter in the case at hand. You see, I’m nearing completion of the sequel to Karl Thorson and the Jade Dagger, and the climax occurs at The Alamo. At about the time I commenced writing that… Continue reading The Alamo.

An Aquilonian Thanksgiving. Resurrected Post.
December 1, 2019 An Aquilonian Thanksgiving “By Mitra, this bird is as plump as a Zingaran concubine,” quoth Conan. Conan slid his broadsword free of its shagreen wrapped hilt and skewered the turkey. He raised his sword one-handed, hoisting the bird from its silver platter without a tremor of strain displayed on the corded forearm… Continue reading An Aquilonian Thanksgiving. Resurrected Post.
