August 6, 2017 All the Latest “So, what is new with you, Ken?” I’m glad you asked, fictitious interlocutor. A couple of items have firmed up since last time I wrote, so I’m more comfortable mentioning them. I’m never truly comfortable mentioning anything that smacks of self-promotion, but this is the gig. No point whining… Continue reading All the Latest. Resurrected Post.

Off-Target, Laser-Focused Marketing. Resurrected Post.
July 16, 2017 Off-Target, Laser-Focused Marketing. An intriguing opportunity came my way a few months back, one that I consider intriguing in two aspects. I was interviewed for an article in the Oregon State Bar Bulletin (the monthly house-organ for Oregon’s attorneys) about lawyers who are also writers. This interview was an enjoyable opportunity to… Continue reading Off-Target, Laser-Focused Marketing. Resurrected Post.
Ahem! Announcements. Resurrected Post.
April 30, 2017 Ahem! Announcements. I played coy a bit ago, teasing some news. That’s because I don’t like to offer news only to later have to issue a retraction. Now it can be revealed. (Passive voice, ugh. But in context it does read better than “Now I can reveal it.”) Both parties signed the… Continue reading Ahem! Announcements. Resurrected Post.
NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.
March 26, 2017 NanoCon Mark IV Report I’ve returned from NanoCon Mark IV and my stint as GOH. How about that? It was a fun little con, held at Lower Columbia College, just across the river from Rainier. I’d guess attendance came in at about two hundred. I’d consider it a success. I sold out of… Continue reading NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.

IV Science Fiction Convention. The con will be March 24 and 25 in Longview, Washington. If… Continue reading NanoCon Mk. IV. Resurrected Post.
Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That. Resurrected Post.
December 18, 2016 Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That Perihelion Science-Fiction magazine published a bit of flash fiction I was commissioned to write for an article on The End of the World. (Read that last phrase in a pretentious film trailer voice, with a dramatic pause between the second and third word.)… Continue reading Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That.

Orycon 2016. Resurrected Post
November 20, 2016 Orycon 2016 And that wraps up another Orycon. Technically, as I write these words, the con is still ongoing in the sleepy manner of a con winding down on a Sunday. But it is over for me. I finished my last panel and drove home to help host the joint birthday party… Continue reading Orycon 2016. 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.
