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. I have another book out, and three in the can waiting to be unleashed in 2020. I traveled a bit, hit a few conventions to dispense what (if… Continue reading 2019 Retrospective. Resurrected Post.

The Gifting Season. Resurrected Post.
December 22, 2019 The Gifting Season Christmas is rushing towards us like an out of control sleigh, with a fat man in a red suit slumped in the driver’s seat, reins fallen from pudgy, cookie-stained hands, his eggnog soaked beard smelling strongly of rum. 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.
Intro to Sword and Sorcery: Five Names You Should Know. Resurrected Post.
November 24, 2019 Intro to Swords and Sorcery: Five Names You Should Know Perhaps you are new to this planet, or have been living in a bomb shelter all your life with limited reading material. Maybe you recently stumbled upon a trove of Molly Hatchet album covers at a garage sale, with those paintings by… Continue reading Intro to Sword and Sorcery: Five Names You Should Know.

What is Sword and Sorcery? Resurrected Post.
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? Resurrected Post.
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.
