November 17, 2019 What is Swords and Sorcery? Sword & Sorcery is one of those terms that defies precise definition. So, it is, I suppose, another one of those other concepts that can be encapsulated in the phrase “I know it when I see it.” And there is, I think, a certain prurience involved, without… Continue reading What is Sword and Sorcery?

Veterans Day 2019. Resurrected Post.
November 10, 2019 Veterans Day 2019 Monday is Veterans Day. My own time in uniform is far behind me. When compared to the real sacrifice and achievement of so many, I tend to think it of small consequence. So I likely undervalue the day itself, seeing it more in terms of a free appetizer or… Continue reading Veterans Day 2019. Resurrected Post.
The Black Company, In Progress Reflections. Resurrected Post.
November 3, 2019 The Black Company, In Progress Reflections. I am about two-thirds of the way through re-reading Glen Cook’s Black Company novels. This time through (the second for the later novels, the third for the earlier) I think I’m better able to appreciate more of the subtleties. Some of that may be due to… Continue reading The Black Company, In Progress Reflections. Resurrected Post.
Karl Thorson Lives! Resurrected Post.
October 27, 2019 Karl Thorson Lives! Just when you think you have Karl Thorson cornered, he’ll come at you from an unexpected angle. I mean, I didn’t think Karl Thorson and the Jade Dagger would see publication until November 15. And yet, here it is late October and the book is already out. That’s our… Continue reading Karl Thorson Lives! Resurrected Post.
Texas Updates. Plus Savage Journal Entry 16.
It’s been nearly five months since MBW, the HA, and I pulled into the driveway of our new home in Texas. Five months of adjustments, slogging through bureaucracies (both governmental and private), home-improvements, etc. If you’ve moved from one state to another recently, you know what I speak of. Things are beginning to fall into… Continue reading Texas Updates. Plus Savage Journal Entry 16.
Revelations. Resurrected Post.
October 20, 2019 Revelations The countdown to a book release is for me what the countdown to Christmas is for a kid. I want the day to hurry up and get here. My present is offering something I created to you. I’m so damn noble, ain’t I? Here is something for you while we’re waiting.… Continue reading Revelations. Resurrected Post.
The Dreaded Synopsis. Resurrected Post.
October 13, 2019 The Dreaded Synopsis I suspect it is an industry standard: the 250, 150, and 50 word synopsis. It may be that some authors, occupying celestial strata I can only dream of, have a publisher’s marketing department write these. I don’t know, I have to do it myself. The dread synopsis. I can’t… Continue reading The Dreaded Synopsis. Resurrected Post.

October 6, 2019 The Distant Cousin of the Son of the Return of Too Late Movie Reviews MBW is away on business. Thus, as you may have guessed by now, this web log post will consist of movie reviews. The HA stayed at home with me. Thus I was unable to indulge in lengthy film… Continue reading The Distant Cousin of the Son of the Return of the Too Late Movie Reviews. Resurrected Post.
Sail Hull-up. Resurrected Post.
September 29, 2019 Sail Hull-up There is a comfortable pleasure in revisiting books. This is especially true in the case of the Aubrey and Maturin novels by Patrick O’Brian. Each book is an immersive wallow in a warm bath. And when you consider the length of the series, you realize what an indulgence awaits. Perhaps… Continue reading Sail Hull-up. Resurrected Post.
