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.
The Distant Cousin of the Son of the Return of the Too Late Movie Reviews. 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.
Homestretch. Resurrected Post.
September 22, 2019 Homestretch A moment’s digression before I begin: Happy Birthday Bilbo and Frodo! I wonder, on this wet and drizzly first day of autumn if Tolkien deliberately chose the fall equinox for the Baggins’ joint birthday. Perhaps it was a question of age, both hobbits having entered their autumnal years, if you will,… Continue reading Homestretch. Resurrected Post.
Rose City Comic Con 2019. Resurrected Post.
September 15, 2019 Rose City Comic Con 2019 Some might consider that I wasted a three-day pass to Rose City Comic Con by only attending Friday night. But downtown Portland is a bit of a trek from my house, and I only needed to be there Friday for my panel. I took a few trips… Continue reading Rose City Comic Con 2019. Resurrected Post.
Publicity, Ugh. Resurrected Post.
September 8, 2019 Publicity, Ugh. It is self-evident, of course, that if no one hears of your work, no one will purchase it. I understand that, I acknowledge and accept it. That doesn’t mean I have to like the necessary corollary: publicity. But I’m doing it, with as much good grace as I can muster.… Continue reading Publicity, Ugh. Resurrected Post.
Fair Enough. Resurrected Post.
September 1, 2019 Fair Enough I have been writing about little excursions here and yon recently, haven’t I? Well, I’ve been taking these little trips, after all. No reason not to mention them. For example, today I drove MBW and the HA down to the State Capital for the State Fair. Rides, livestock, and fried… Continue reading Fair Enough. Resurrected Post.
Florence. No, Not That One. Resurrected Post.
August 25, 2019 Florence. No, Not That One. MBW, the HA, and I just returned from a weekend at the central Oregon coast, visiting my father and step-mother. A late return means much to do in a short time before Monday’s inevitable arrival. Thus this will be primarily a pictorial post. Lucky you. Here are… Continue reading Florence. No, Not That One.
