October 30, 2016 Appendix N and the Witchy World of Andre Norton Well, as a cover it certainly is a…cover. I come at last to Andre Norton, long a gap in my Appendix N reading. While she has always floated within my awareness as a reader, I remained unfamiliar with her works. I did pick… Continue reading Appendix N and the Witchy World of Andre Norton. Resurrected Post.

Seveneves. Resurrected Post.
October 23, 2016 Seveneves I finished Neal Stephenson’s latest, Seveneves, earlier this week during my commute. It certainly passed the time, immersing me in a world other than the traffic-filled one about me. Seveneves is lengthy. If you read Stephenson you know what your are in for: highly detailed descriptions of anything and everything.… Continue reading Seveneves. Resurrected Post.
The Black Dog’s Bite. Resurrected Post.
October 16, 2016 The Black Dog’s Bite Winston Churchill battled against attacks of the ‘black dog.’ To what extent this has been exaggerated by historians, biographers, and journalists is beyond the scope of my remarks here. The point is, despite bouts of depression, Mr. Churchill still produced an astonishing amount of written work. (Seriously, take… Continue reading The Black Dog’s Bite. Resurrected Post.
Texas
I have moved. I remember when moving involved a few buddies and a pickup truck. The whole thing took an afternoon and there was time to go out for beer after. As a family man moving halfway across the country… not so much. I spent the vast majority of my life in the Pacific Northwest,… Continue reading Texas

I’ve not read much of her output, so I’m taking in a few of her Witch World novels before writing up my assessment. But this seems… Continue reading Appendix N Past Mid-Way. Resurrected Post.
Orycon 38 on the Horizon. Resurrected Post.
October 2, 2016 Orycon 38 on the Horizon Orycon beckons once again. The Portland science-fiction convention has asked me back as a panelist for the 2016 con, the 38th. Looks like I’ll be given a reading. I wonder what I should read. Something from my next novel, perhaps? An older short story? Any suggestions? I… Continue reading Orycon 38 on the Horizon.

Books On CD. Resurrected Post.
September 25, 2016 Books on CD Move to the new house complete, I now enjoy a thirty-five plus minute drive to work, usually more on the way home. This leaves me with some time to pass while in traffic. I’m sure there are many options. But I did not hesitate. Once the move was scheduled,… Continue reading Books On CD. Resurrected Post.
Settling In. Resurrected Post.
September 18, 2016 Settling In I’ve been in the new house about three weeks now. The majority of the unpacking is complete. It is even conceivable a car could be parked in the garage soon. But that doesn’t mean I’m nearly finished. Oh, no. The torrent of chores may have dwindled to a stream, but… Continue reading Settling In. Resurrected Post.
